I need to unlock the regional code on my DVD player

The only thing you can do is try a DVD cleaning kit and follow instructions, if that fails the laser pickup assembly will need to be replaced, but this would be to expensive and far cheaper to replace the player.

Your DVD drive is having a problem. When this recorder starts, it checks the DVD drive for correctness. If incase your DVD drive is has problem in the ejecting mechanism then this will prevent your HDD from working correctly. Take the player to service center and fix the drive

You need to read page 37 "Dubbing a title"

Select the title you want to record and select the Dubbing option.

Try using only four zeros instead of 7. Open tray press pause, enter 0000 region management centre thingy should appear. enter 0. press pause. switch off unit and switch back on. test disk. lemme know if it works

Just tried the hack posted on VideoHelp on my 397D player and it worked straight off:

1. press home on remote
2. scroll to setup options
3. scroll to lock (DO NOT SCROLL SIDEWAYS)
4. press zero seven times (message appears)
5. press enter

Hi, try this, works for me
Goto 'Setup' 
Scroll to 'Lock' (don't scroll sideways from here) 
press '0' seven times 
press 'Enter'

Hope it helps you too. Ashley
