Forget all those hacks (above) posted by whatyouneed in the first posting here (sorry) Here is the hack that Bellagio's technical support provides you with - I know it works, just used it on my own Bellgio DVD player last night: Switch player on and open door. Then key in 4377340. That's all and your player will be country code free OTHER INFORMATION: The player has a Mediatek MT1389DE chip I've also found a great site giving you all the information you could possibly need (in German) on this player: http://www.movie-player.de/modules.php?name=News &file=article&sid=109 To update the firmware go to http://www.bellagio-home.com/index_f.html and read what the firm has to say, apparently the new firmware solves some DivX issues. Or download the update directly here: http://www.bellagio-home.com/download/YAD2020.BIN http://www.bellagio-home.com/download/Update_Anleit ung_deutsch.pdf http://www.bellagio-home.com/download/Update_Instr uction_english.pdf BTW The player is currently available in Germany at Media Markt for only Euro 55!
