How can I unlock a dvd to play dvds from all regions, I understand that by entering a code it can be done. The DVD player is Yamada dvd slim 5520

Manufacturers of DVDs and DVD players install codes that only allow us to play DVDs that are manufactured for our region. (For example, the U.S. and Canada are region 1, while China is region 6.) To make your DVD player region-free, you'll need to find the unlock codes that will allow it to play DVDs from all over the world. Below are some steps to help make your DVD player region-free.

Purchase or borrow an imported DVD. The only real reason to make your DVD player region-free is if you plan on watching imported DVDs. Locate your DVD player's brand name and model number. These can usually be found on the box the DVD player came in, or on a sticker close to the video inputs or on the bottom of the DVD player. Have your remote handy. You will need your remote to enter the input codes into your DVD player. Locate a Web site that can help you with the codes you need for your particular DVD player, since all DVD players have different codes. Try DVD Exploder or Video Help (see Resources below). Both have an extensive list of codes for almost every kind of DVD player manufactured. Enter your brand name and model number when prompted to do so on the Web site. If your particular model number is not available, try searching under the brand name. Sometimes you will be able to find a model number that is close to your DVD player's model number. Enter the codes into your DVD player with your remote. Be sure the DVD player's door is open-almost all codes require the door to be open. Test your imported DVD to see if it works, once you have entered your code into the DVD player.

I don't know if this will work but I can atleast try to help

1) Open the disc tray.
2) While the tray is open, enter the following code with the remote's numeric pad: 2812
3) To change the region code, press the "Enter" button repeatedly. "Region 9" means all regions will be enabled.
4) Close the tray to save the desired setting.

Other Zoran Vaddis 776 based players have other options on this screen (such as Macrovision Enable/Disable) but this player only offers the region code setting (note the unused available space for other menu options).

If you press "Display" on the remote, the firmware version will be displayed.

or
1. Press "Eject"
2. Press "Setup"
3. Press 3x on the right "Präferenzen-Setup"
4. Press 7x Down "Land"
5. Press 1, 3, 7, 9
6. And 0 for code free
7. Press "Play"

Turn on power. Open lid. Enter 9735 with the remote and press 'enter', you can now choose between regions on the screen. Select the desired region unlock and press 'enter'. This works well!

make sure you have the disc draw open and enter the above code via your remote.

let me know if it works

Alright, just follow these steps and let me know if you have any problems or questions

1. Power and switch on the Durabrand DVD player.
2. Open the DVD disc tray tray or lid.
3. Press Stop.
4. Press 3 - 5 - 9 - 7 (3597 in sequence). Can be done on remote control.
5. Hidden DVD Region menu appears. Select region 0 or 9 using up or down button on remote control
6. Press OK.
7. Close the disc tray and press Standby on the DVD player front

1. Turn the unit on and open the tray. Take out any disc from the tray.
2. Enter the code 98790 on the remote and press Ok. The 0 on the end is the region. Eg to change it back to a region follow step 1 and enter the code 98794. 4 being the region code in this example.
3. To check the region code follow step 1 and enter the code 966.

This can only be done on some dvd players unfortunatly. They are locked to regions because of the video format types that vary from country to country.
