Open the DVD player's main drive, also commonly called the
DVD "tray." The region cannot be changed while a DVD is in the machine,
so many DVD players require the tray to be open as an extra precaution.
4
Use the remote to select the "Region" option as indicated on your TV screen.
5
Select "Region 9" to change the system to multiregion
formatting. Regions 1 through 8 represent specific geographic locations
and will not allow multiregion playback.
Depends how the region code hack was performed.
It could be a additional chip was used and either chip has failed or wire come off.
You could try unplugging player from mains for a few minutes and try again.
Is it still under warranty from where you purchased it ? If so you may have to return it.
If it is set to only play region 4 discs, then that's what the player can do - you cannot change the region code and I don't believe there is a hack to unlock this particular model to make it region-free.
The only types of discs acceptable are those which match the region of the player or discs which are 0 (region-free). I have never found a menu option to change region settings in any player. It is not modifiable nor accessible. There may be a player on the market which is multi-region compatible and will play your region 2 DVDs perfectly; just not this one. It is a restriction, not a fault.
My DV-220KV-K, which is sold as a Multi Region DVD player has locked up on me. The following message comes onto the TV screen...
(Player's Region Setting)
<1> : Region
<2> : Region
<3> : Region
<4> : Region
<5> : Region
<6> : Region
Pick out any one of these!
The message remains on the screen ALL the time and I'm locked out of viewing anything. The remote is locked and so I cannot pick any of the region numbers!
After searching public and private databases, I have not been able to find any region hacks for your make and model of dvd player. I am sorry for the unfortunate news.
Press the Open button on your Onkyo DVD-player to Open the drive tray. Using the remote press 9, 9, 9 and 9 on your remote control. Press the 1 button on your remote control for region 1, 2 for region 2, and so on, or 9 for multi-region. Press OK and the tray will close. Reset the unit by powering Off and then back On again.
