No more region free

I hacked it with a code to be region free. Now it only seems to play region 2. hack won't work anymore.

also, now it sometimes hangs up on a frame/scene, moves on for a few seconds, then hangs again, etc. etc. Normally this is after it has been on for a while.

thanks for any help!

How many times did you play DVD's before it got stuck on Region 2

5-10 times?? maybe if so what happend is the player switched regions 5 times and then locked the last used region.

Let me see if I can locate the "service mode" for that model it needs a factory reset for sure.

    I also sent you the samsung service mode in the other question... don't tinker with it if you don't have too.

    To reset your Samsung home theater system, follow the steps below:


        While NO DISC message appears on the display of the home theater, hold the [STOP] button for longer than 5 seconds. INITIALIZE appears on the display and all settings will return to the default values.
          Press the [POWER] button, the home theater has now been reset and will power on.
          Note: Using the RESET function will erase all stored settings. Do not use this unless necessary.

If you suffer from region code troubles, you can download a region free DVD player software tool on your pc and then you can play discs of any regions you want. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which is a free Blu-ray player and a region free player.

DVD Player region coding changes

You can only change the region code 4 times then it locks on the last change.
There are some firmware upgrades that can change the drive to region free, if you can screw it up or put in the wrong frmware upgrade then the DVD drive will be a piece on junk.
I suggest you install a region free software that will allow you to play and region DVDs.
Go to www.dvdidle.com to get their Region-Free software, it is not very expensive.

I was in the states on holidays and bought on 8" personnel dvd player and retuned to Ireland and I am unable to play any DVDs as a error is on the screen INVALID REGION there is nothing saying that if...

There are 7 different regions 0 is region free and 1-6 are country codes. Your region 2 and america is region 1 so this is why the player isn't working with your discs. Usually you can hack/overide the region setting on some DVD players. Sometimes this can be done with the remote but sometimes the player has to be modded. This link will take you to a hack page for audiovox players. If theres a hack for your player then it'll be there.
