We have a simple Mikomi DVD player (think the model number is DS 5778C) and the screen split somehow when pressing a few buttons by mistake. How do we get RID of the big yellow pscan logo in the middle of the screen? It has also split the screen into 2 halves. Help!!

SOURCE: Unlocking Mikomi DS-306 Dvd player

I can only commiserate with all the people above. I also bought a mikomi from Argos as a treat for Christmas and I have found it impossible to find any region codes online so I can watch Region 1 dvds from the USA. Incredibly Mikomi doesn't seem to have an online website to go to - unbelievable!
So there seems to be no solution. I can only advise that people complain to the place where they bought and tell their friends never ever to buy Mikomi!

Partial solution...

Without a DVD in the player - eject the tray

1). Press Setup ensure you are showing 'General' tab
2). Enter 1389

At this point a list comes up with all sorts of info. At the bottom is Region Code 2. But I'm stumped as to how to change it. I've tried all different key combinations I can think of. On other Mikomi players except the ds-306a (the Argos is a rebadged Mikomi ds-306a)
you can then use the up or down arrows and cycle throw the region nunbers until you get to region 0. Odd that it doesn't seem to work on ds-306a. Perhaps someone else can figure the final steps out

Need the hack to make argos dvd model ds-306a multi region

Yours is a rebadged Mikomi model. Whilst it's possible to access the technical page which shows the region code, you cannot actually change it without a special servicing remote control.

Unfortunately, for a cheap no-name brand like Mikomi it's actually cheaper to just buy another DVD player which can be hacked without any special equipment. Service remotes are very expensive to buy and if you can find a company which rents them out the typical charge costs as much as your DVD player cost to buy.

Sorry, but not all DVD players can realistically be made multi-region and yours is one of them.

How can I get ride of the pscan split screen view on my memerex vcr-dvd player without the remote control and no manual

Hi,
I'm not sure what is model number of your VCR-DVD combo so providing you general info to turn off pscan.
Put disc in player, press play to have distorted picture then press stop button to stop playback.
Now press and hold Stop button on unit for 6 seconds that will turn off pscan mode.
Or let me know exact model number of your player to find out solution.
Thanks.

REGION CODE

I have managed to find the menu with the region code. Its the same as the hack for the Acoustic Solutions DVD237.

Without a DVD in the player
1). Press Setup
2). Enter 1389

Now at this point the menu appears and the hack says the arrow keys should allow you to change the region code but doesn't on my machine.

Eject the disk drive then press the setup button.

On the 'general' tab press 1389.

That should then bring you to a page where you can change the region.
