Page 1 of NEW Tevion DVD-7071 MultiRegion Hack Needed

I bought this Tevion DVD-7071 this morning from ALDI in Ireland.

I bought it because I was informed by email that it was a multiregional DVD player, as per this banner from the ALDI website:
www.aldi.ie/images/data_product/522912036452f7760560b6.jpg

It turns out it`s not, at least it doesn`t play my Region 1 DVDs. The player is not (or was not at the time I posted this) listed on the website here, but I thought that perhaps it was a pretty new model. I called the helpline, and the guy told me the email was a misprint, and that it`s not multiregional, and didn`t seem to know anything about hacking it. In lieu of there being a hack for a lot of Tevion players, I thought I`d ask if anyone here might know a way to hack it.

Any ideas? I`d be very grateful.

Thanks John, that is good news. I`ve just used the code and it works for me too.

Thanks a million!

I had the same problem, so I emailed the players distributor Key Electronics, they kindly sent this back to me - I`ve tried it and can confirm it works.

"Aldi did advertise this Region 2 player as multiregion incorrectly, however,
after much confusion we were quickly informed of the region hack to enable
multiregion disc playback, so please follow below instructions:

Switch player on with no disc inserted.
Open disc drawer
Then 9, 7, 3, 6 on remote control (quite quickly)
Region is then displayed on screen, use number keys to set region, use 10/0
to set to Region 0 (Multiregion)
Player should now be Multiregion enabled"

any chance of you PM ing the email address to me as I have a previous query with another Tevion portable player.

Cheers
