Page 1 of How to play dvd rom discs in Samsung HT-XQ100R/XEU

I have entered the region free code into the player and it allows me to view my region 1 dvds, but when I put a dvd which has been created on my pc it says disc prohibited.
Most of my films are in this format and im unable to view them.

Has anyone got a code or know a way to view these discs on this system??

Read these forum threads on the Samsung HT-Q Series ...Play Prohibited Problems

They Should Shed some light on it.

I have read the links and I dont think it is a media related problem. I have been playing about with the buttons on the remote when the disc prohibited sign appears and have found if you press stop when the message appaears and then press play, it will actually play the film. The only problem is that there is no sound and you are unable to skip chapters ect!!!
If this info helps anyone to find a way of playing these films then please share with me as it seems to be good money wasted on this system!

That is Certainly Interesting Inormation

But that still could mean that the Player is still unable to Read the Information on the Disk Correctly...which still could be the Media....If it cannot Read the Index information it will not Play Correctly and this could also Explain the unable to Skip and the No sound

And Is is Possible by Pressing those Buttons Stop & Play after the Error Message you are Just overriding the Firmware detecting the Unreadble sectors

It may be worth Purchasing one of the Disks that SBM Mentions in His / Her Post

Quote:
Emtec DVD + R (1-4x certified) the dvd plays without problems

According to SBM they work everytime ,Transfer one of your Non Playing Movies onto it ...if it then plays it increases the Media argument ...if not then it Must be a Firmware issue..

I see that others Have Contacted Samsung On this Matter and they apparently Say it is a "Region Coding Issue"..it may be worth asking them again ...Make sure you have a Back Up Disk with NO Region Coding at all or a Correct Region for the Player and if the Player Rejects it as it most Probably will then you can tell them Clearly it is NOT Region Coding.

Although I also see that others have Had Problems with DIVX on copied media ...As you probably Know There is NO region Coding on those Movies Anyway ...which increases the Chances of it being Media.....and Confirms Absolutely it is NOT a Region Coding Problem.

I have no other Ideas on this ..It is Either Media or Firmware or a Mixture of Both ...one thing I do not think it is , is The Multi Region Hack or Region Coding.

Lots to chew over on this matter

What`s the region hack for the Samsung HT-XQ100R/XEU home cinema systems? I can`t seem to find it on here. I`m new to the internet!

I`m about to buy a new home cinema system and think I`m gonna go for this one.

This is supposed to be the Hack

You may find you need to Remove Steps 1 ~ 3 for the HT-XQ100

And also you may also find steps 9 & 10 are also not applicable.


1. Remove Disc from Tray.
2. Switch Off Player
3. Wait 30 Seconds, Then Reconnect Mains.
4. Turn On player with Remote Control. Wait for player to Finish Loading and Display `No Disc`.
5. Press Enter on Remote Control. (There will be No On-Screen Response.)
6. Press 8, 4, 2, 6, 9 on the remote. (There will be No On-screen Response.)
7. Press Enter on the Remote Control. Player will Automatically Turn Off.

Despite what you might`ve read in other related topics - this is NOT a media issue. It`s an encoding issue and I`ve found that if I use Elby CloneDVD 2.8.9.9 to resize a DVD9 to DVD5 then it won`t play on my Samsung HT-THQ25, giving the Play Prohibited error. But if I use Nero Recode 7.2.3.2b then there`s no problem - even using the same media.

Problem solved!! :D
