Enable region free mode on your DVD player email this discussion to a friend?

DVD region codes, how I hate them. I never quite understood why every player and dvd created had to have a region code implemented to prevent playback of DVDs from other regions. If I was to move from the United States to Germany or Britain I would have to import all DVDs for my US DVD player because I would not be able to play DVDs sold in Germany or Britain on that player. The other possibility would be to buy a European DVD player which would not play my US DVDs that I purchased back in the States.

This is not really an alternative if you ask me and a better easier way is to hack the DVD player and enable region free mode which plays DVDs from all regions of this world. You probably think that this is a complicated process which requires knowledge and time - it is not. Region free mode can be enabled on most DVD players by simply using the remote to enter a certain code that enabled the region free mode.


Sounds probably to good to be true, what do you think? All you need to do is go to the videohelp website and search their database that contains hacks for almost 5000 DVD players. I can’t guarantee that your DVD player is among the 5000 listed but the chance is pretty good. Want an example to see how easy it is?

I just picked one random DVD player from Samsung with the modell number DVD-HD870.
