Why do people buy region specialised DVD players? It's just a lack of foresight, especially if you're an active eBayer or Amazon buyer.

I know you're one of those, at least :lol:

try:

1. Remove any discs in the player before starting.

2. Turn the player off for a few seconds then back on.

3. Press the following keys on your remote slowly and deliberately in this order: Pause, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, and 9.

4. This should open up an on-screen menu which invites you to choose a region from 0-6. (If you don’t get this screen, go back to step 1 and start again!)
5. Change regions by pressing the number required on your remote eg. 1= region 1 etc. 0 = all).

5. Press 'Pause' on the remote.

6. Turn the player off then on. The player is now ready.
