A remote control code exist to make this new DTH-4200 DVD player region 2 and 1 free, do you have it ?
Obviously, it seems to be very simple, many stores are able to do it in 1 or 2 minutes.
Thanks.

You know, you could`ve just scrolled down ten lines or so and you would have seen the link to this hack... .-)

Anyway, for your pleasure, a repeated showing:

(This also works for 3300, 3600, 4000, 4500)

Remove disc from tray. Close it. Now you should have a Thomson logo on the screen.
Press Repeat 38767 on the remote control.
"02" is displayed on the screen. Press 9. "9" is shown. Now press the Open button on the player`s front. Press Standby on the remote.

Done!

Hey Johan,

thank you for this post. I`m not sure whether my Thomson is regionfree now, but something has happened... Unfortunately, I don`t have any Non-RC2-DVD`s.

Do you know a hack for macrovision off, too? This is a problem for me, because my TV set is rather old and I have to connect via my vcr. The movie`s brightness changes all the time... :-(

Thank you.

Thors

Hi,

I tried this hack with the 3600, it works :-))) No more error message when using a region 1 disc, no more macrovision.... perfect!
