	The hack will report Region x where x is the region you selected when successful. However, it only worked for me before I foolishly upgraded to the latest firmware. It no longer works on the latest firmware. I am trying to discover if anyone else has had success with the hack?

	I used the technique : PLAY (with no disc inside the tray) and then the region code setting as suggested by others and it worked. My recorder was updated with the newest firmware date : 2/26/2004 i.e. VERSION U0226200401XA \602 I tried playing discs from other regions like region 2 and region 3 and they seem to work fine. I have not come across with problems like someone suggested when playing back the region 1 disc. We'll see. By the way, any clue to disable the Macrovision in this recorder????? LCD_Master

I had this same problam with my region free Daewoo...I had it on Region 0 or all region and wouldnt let me play one of my region 1 dvds. I had to go in and set the region to region 1 so it would play. So try doing the region code for the region "Crazy Nights" in and it should work

	I am on my second unit, the first malfunctioned after updating the bios and firmware. The hack for the region code mentioned above worked very well(play 00000..etc). I have copied VHS and DVD (store bought videos) with no problems. When I get the error (copyprotection) I switch to video 2 I have a vcr connected no tape in it, I set the vcr to input 1 or 2, get the blue screen (generated by the vcr) press record, press pause, then change to input 1 (the input where my DVD player is set to, start the movie, press pause again, and bingo!! no macrovision. I have a macrovision box (I used vhs to vhs), I have found I do not need to use it with this machine. I have an RCA DVD player model DRC212N that I use, no mods done to either machine. Good luck.

	I bought my DVR 1500 one week ago at TARGET. Firmware dated December 2004. The hacks mentioned above didn't work. Actually with the tray closed and no disc inside, any button I pressed, shows the symbol of wrong function in the screen. When I put a region 4 disc, it says "unsuported region" Anyone knows a new hack for this new firmware?

	This is what worked on mine and I just got it from HSN today. Hack details: Power up, no disk in. Press MENU (status reads invalid key icon) Press 1 (status reads invalid key icon) Press 9 Menu is displayed. Scroll down to Region ALL Press ENTER Press EJECT to clear the special menu Or Press Menu again This has to be done every time your Player/Recorder is unplugged.

	I own a cyberhome 1500. I hope this works on all 1500's. I was able to get roughly 10.5 hrs on a dvd+r disc. All I did was hit record on the remote and let it start recording and then hit record again ..like 9 more times. You will see it will record in 30, 60, 90 min intervals....do it like 9 times or so and make sure not to leave it on any interval....It worked for me and I hope it works for you....Enjoy!
