Curtis DVD8723UK: Wrong Region problem

go to www.rapidegg.demon.co.uk/CURTIS and down load the files and follw the instructions.
MAKE SURE YOU NAME THE BURNED CD as instructed.

hmmm...did it hiccup from a power glitch, maybe? most likely you'll need new firmware update.

hi there,

try to to do this to remove region code warning:

• Turn the player on.
• Press and hold Clear until the screen turns dark.
• Now enter a region code (0 is defult, or 1 - 8).
• Press and hold Clear. The opening screen comes back.
• The default code (Region 0) is reset when the unit is turned off.

Hope this initial info helps.

Power up the player and open the tray. With the tray open, hit the setup button and then 0000 and then the "Up" button.
On the Setup menu, go to Version and hit enter. Go to region code and change the number to 0 for region free and hit setup again to save.
Or
Power up the player and open the tray.
Press the SETUP button. The setup menu appears.
Press ZERO on the remote control four times - 0000
Press the CHAPTER FORWARD button - the one on the bottom right of the remote control unit that looks like a double arrow with a bar.
A new menu item appears, "Version". There is a REGION option you can select, and this can be set to zero "0" for all regions. Once you see its set to region 0, press SETUP to exit, close the tray and power off. When you power up again, its region free. RCE disks work fine in this unit.
To recap - open the tray, press setup, press 0-0-0-0, press Chapter Forward, select Version, choose 0 for region free, press setup again.
Or
1) Turn on the System
2) Open the tray
3) Press "setup" button

5) Press the "Next Chapter" button (>>|)

You need a firmware update, I can supply the file needed and instructions on how to load it, its very simple

This may be of no help to anyone but I have the same problem and I have spoken to Curtis Support today, they say there is no fix, its a fault in the machine and must be returned to the vendor as they have no service network in the UK. I bought mine with a 90 day guarantee off Ebay and it went faulty after 100 days but probably only used for 3 days so I'm stuffed!!!

I have a firmware update supplied by Curtis that you can burn to a cd. Let me have an email address if you want it
