OK,

I`ve read it again _really carefully_ but can`t see what I`ve missed. Any chance you could help me to stop feeling like an idiot and just tell me which bit of what I did was wrong compared to the suggestions above?

Where on the screen does the region option get listed? Whenever I`ve tried I`ve not seen anything listed on the screen to suggest that it has been even trying to change region.

Thanks,

Sorry if I`m being dense here.

Hi,

After finding the hack on this thread, I went and bought the RED DVD player from Sainsburys (585408). I tried the hack (and all combinations of) but nothing shows. "Wrong Region" is displayed for region 1 disks.

I needed a player especially for playing R1 disks, hence the reason I check here first. Having been out of work for three months, this seemed a good cheap option.

I have searched the web, but haven`t come accross any other hacks.

Has anyone had any luck in finding a hack that works with this model?

Used it on my Sainsburys red 585-158. (reported to work on 585-150 and 585-160)

1. Switch on power.
2. Press 'Setup'.
3. Press '9' 4 times. (this should now show the region at the top of the screen).
4. Scroll using the arrow key until you find '255' displayed (region can be set to 1,2,3,4,5,6 but 255 is Region Free).
5. Press 'Setup' to exit.
6. Power off.
7.  Power On.
8. Try a DVD.

Power cycling (steps 6 and 7) might not be necessary but won't hurt.

My outlook on life is positive & carefree, I'm positive that I'm a pessimist & I don't care what what you think.
