MAKING A SAMSUNG HT-F6500W REGION-FREE

I'm an expat, having lived in places like Singapore and India, and now in South Africa. I've got DVD's and BLURAY's that were bought in Singapore or India (or Europe for that matter) but the DVD-player I had (region-free; bought in Singapore)now no longer works and was replaced with a new one (the SAMSUNG HT-F6500W bought in South Africa). As this payer is set up for Region 2/B I can no longer play the DVD's and/or BLURAYS I bought in Singapore or India (as the codes differ). How can I get my new Home Theatre System 'Region Free' so I can play all the films I bought over the years?

Changing region codes of your Blu-ray/DVD player might not 100% work. You can try creating region free copies of your Blu-ray/DVD collection using a program named Leawo Blu-ray Copy so that you can play them on any Blu-ray/DVD players as you like. The following link will show you how to create a region free copy of your Blu-ray/DVD disc using Leawo Blu-ray Copy: How to Make 1 1 Disc to Disc Blu ray Backup with 1 Click Blu ray Copy...

DVD says wrong region ?

hi Nigel.
Region codes prevent playback of DVDs in other geographical regions. If you receive a region error while playing a DVD with RealTimes, this means that the region code of the DVD does not match the region code of the DVD drive. ... You can play Region 2DVDs only on a DVD drive that is set for Region 2.

Region errors when playing DVDs with RealPlayer - SUPPORT

https://customer.real.com/.../204041263-Region-errors-when-playing-DVDs-with-RealPl...
How do you change the region on a DVD?Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. The DVD Region tab might not be available for all DVD drives. To configure your DVD drive to play discs from other regions, select a geographic area from the list of regions.

HI how can I watch live cricket champions trophy India v/s South Africa.

http://www.livemanch.com/cricket/afghanistan-v-ireland-2017-live-telecast-streaming-t20-odi-schedule/


Watch India vs South Africa for free

Download the Star Sports app for Android or iOS. The app may be offering video stream of matches that's delayed by a few minutes - a small tradeoff for something that's high quality, legal, and free. Star's Hotstar app for Android and iOS is also offering a similar feature.

Hi have a Samsung DVD Player and i get a Region Error Message.

When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a "Region number." The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number - for instance, a Region 3 disc won't play on a Region 1 player.
Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada
Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa
Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/
South America
Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian
subcontinent, North Korea Region 6: China
The only way to get around the region codes, is to rip a DVD to your computer and remove the region code. Then burn the DVD to a DVD R. There are programs around on the net, but I'm not sure it is legal in all countries.
Google for the programs.
A DVD player sometimes allows you to change the region code once. But it not even would allow you to switch back after you changed it once.

I have just bought a Toshiba SD590EKB dvd player and it will not play certain discs, it keeps on saying wrong regional code. How can I solve this problem?

Check the back of the dvd player and it will have a small sticker with a small picture of a globe (or earth) and it will have a number being one through to six, this will determine what region discs you can play in you machine. Ill list the regions and their codes, i hope this helps.

Region 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada.

Region 2 - Europe*, Japan, Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland.

Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong .

I have a Samsung HT BD2 region 4, I go many region 1, they wont play, how can I make it play?

To unlock the DVD code its defends upon what region you belongs or from were you bought the DVD unit. Just click this site to hack the region code ; http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks

To keep it simple, this means that DVD players and DVDs are labeled for operation on within a specific geographical region in the world. For example, the U.S. is in region 1. This means that all DVD players sold in the U.S. are made to region 1 specifications. As a result, region 1 players can only play region 1 discs. That's right, the DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region. On the back of each DVD package, you will a find a region number (1 thru 6).
The geographical regions are as follows:
REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 -- China
REGION 7 -- Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
REGION 8 -- Reserved for Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc...
REGION 0 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide, however, PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit.

The end result is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player, also, players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1-stamped DVDs


Hope it may help you;

Regards;
