Just bought LG HT554 DVD Receiver, was told it was

You need to go in the menu and change the region code. yours is not set for amarican made dvd's

Doesn't work. Press 0 four times did absolutely nothing.

Hack sites for freeing region say that there is no hack code.

Ok so here is how it was done.

Press the Pause button on your remote control. Using your remote control enter the code 3, 1, 4, 1, 5 and 9, Press the 0 button on your remote control for Region free, 1 for Region 1 or 2 for Region 2. Press the Pause button on your remote control. Power off your player and wait a few seconds. Power on your player
Or
Press the Setup button on your remote control then, Step, Next, Up and Down, select the region of your choice or Bypass for region free, save and then Exit the menu.

LG 3200E, LG 3520, LG 4351, LG 4721P, LG 4730, LG 4821P, LG 4950S, LG 5083, LG 5822N, LG 593W

Select "Setup" on remote
Scroll to Lock
Press 0 (zero) seven times
A message will appear indicating that the set is region-free now

this will make the dvd region free but NOT blu ray.that is more difficult and you will need to chip the player or install special firmware

i from l.g and i don't think if the code that i learned is still effective but u can try it... try to press this (pause 31,41,59,0) twice..hope it;s still effective..

YES, it can be changed to view all regions. I've just done my new RC388 (bought it 4 hours ago) and it works.

To start the hack:
Click the home button on the remote, go to the Setup page, highlight the 16X9 TV aspect ratio and enter in this coded sequence: 1 3 9 7 1 3 9

A new factory menu now comes up on the screen.

To change the values of these options hit the enter button and scroll with arrow keys until you get to the option you want to change. For the region code hack replace the value of "option 5" with the value of: ff

Press enter.

(Changing this value will set unit to region code 0 which should allow any region to be played on the player.)

Now, hit the "return" button to save and exit.

Switch off the machine - switch on - all is well now.

Good Luck,
Will

Try This

Power On The Dvd Player Then Press Setup On The Remote And Scroll Down To The Lock Symbol Do Not Select It Just Hit 0 On The Remote 7 Times In A Row It Should Say Congratulations. Then Press Select On The Remote Once To Finish.

If Your Dvd Remote Is Not Equipped With A Zero Then Use Another Remote Programmed To The Dvd Player.
Make Sure The Remote Is In Dvd Mode.
I Hope This Fixis Ya Let Me Know.

no problem! I just bought a LG RH265 and made it multi region with no problems:

on your remote-

1) press HOME
2) move to SET UP
3) scroll down to LOCK (no need to enter LOCK options)
4) press "0" seven times
5) a message will appear stating the dvd player is region free.
6) ENJOY!!!

I bought a panasonic portable dvd player for the kids for christmas, unfortunately it displays wont play in the region. I do not have a code for it nor a remote control. The model is LS850. Can you help.?
