1. Open the DVD tray. 2. Hold down the home/setup key 3. While holding down the home/setup key enter 9113. 4. You should see a hidden configuration menu appear. From this hidden configuration menu you can set all DVD movies to be region free and then you just select whether or not you want region A, B or C for your Blu-ray titles. My remote is in Chinese so I believe I translated the correct key (home/setup) but if that does not work try other keys in the lower left hand corner of the remote; I do know the 9113 code is correct. | |||

The 9113 hack on the remote definitely works here in Canada. I bought the player from Future Shop for $125, applied the hack and bingo, not only do I get to choose what DVD region I want, but – most impressive – I can also choose what Blu-ray region I want. I've never heard of a machine being able to do that before through a remote hack. No maximum number of changes, either. Only drawback, the machine defaults to region 1/A when you turn it off, so you have to manually set it to your desired foreign region whenever you want to play a DVD or Blu-ray from another continent. Small price to pay for such a versatile machine, however. You get Netflix, too. | |||

close but no cigar, unfortunately pushing the setup key while punching "9113" does not work on the player I bought in the US. What does seem to (partly) work is just punching in "9113" on the remote, this bring up the form where I see the secret menu to set the temp region code, so far everyhting goes great, but when I "ok" the region menu and try out the region 2 dvd the player spits out the dvd. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here? | |||

Is the disc in the machine when you're doing it? Don't do that. Leave the tray empty and try. | |||

I was searching for the code to allow my USA DVD player to accept other regions. I was on the hacks code listing. Found my Magnavox MWD200F DVD player, but it just refers me to different forums. Am I doing something wrong? How can I program my DVD to play region 2 dvds, along with my region 1? Any help would be great. Thanks onevoice1575 | |||

No, it doesn't look like whether the disc is in the open tray or not makes a difference. The menu appears ok but doesn't seem to change anything in the region seetings. | |||

Did you do the firmware upgrade when it prompted you (the first time you hooked up the machine to the Net)? I did, and the hack worked after that. | |||

I already updated the firmware sucessfully. Although the form comes up, I have 2 questions about it: 1) on my remote, with the disk tray open, if I push the "setup" button on the lowerleft while punching "9113" absolutely nothing happens, whereas when I just "9113" with the disk tray open the region menu comes up, is that indeed the correct way to bring up the menu? 2) To play region-2 dvd discs on the player, I set the dvd region to "2" and the blu-ray to "b", the I ok the form by pushing the "arrow down" key and "enter", and then I put the region-2 DVD in the tray and try to play it, is that the right way? | |||

Try doing it with the tray empty and closed. This is what worked for me: 1. Turn on the player. 2. Press the home/setup button and release. Enter 9-1-1-3 on the number pad. 3. "Configure player" appears in the wheel menu to the left of the screen. Using the up or down arrow button on your remote, navigate to it and press enter. 4. Three menus appear on a blue screen in the centre of the screen: DVD Region, BD Region, and BD Profile. Select the one you want and press enter. 5. A grey screen appears in the centre showing the various regions. Navigate to the one you want and press enter. 6. Exit the grey menu by pressing the left arrow key, then press it again to exit the blue menu. The screen will appear as it did in step 3 before you pressed enter. 7. Open the drawer and put in your foreign disc. Wait a little bit. When it's ready, the disc's main menu appears. Play it like you would any disc. 8. Voilà! Consider yourself fortunate: You're now able to play foreign DVDs and Blu-rays on your basic North American player. P.S. Remember that you have to do this every time you want to play a foreign DVD, because when it's shut off the player automatically defaults to Region 1 for DVDs and Region A for Blu-rays (i.e. North America for DVD and the Americas for Blu-ray). The "configure player" menu disappears sometimes, too; to see it again, simply perform the "home/setup, 9-1-1-3" hack again). | |||

I purchased my unit about a year ago so it doesn't have the 2 at the end of the model number like the new units have. Mine is simply a NS-WBRDVD. I have the latest firmware (marked August 2010 on the website). However, when I follow cleon21's instructions I don't get the "Configure player" in the ribbon on the left. I can get the menu that Mr_Angry described but as others have said that appears to let you change the setting but it doesn't work. | |||

BEWARE! Installation of the latest firmware with Napster option takes the hack away! | |||

Confirmed! February 2011 firmware disables region change menu. Can be rolled back to August 2010 firmware | |||

Any updates as to a new hack for the February 2011 firmware? Reverting to the previous firmware release has an undesirable effect on my Netflix streaming. Thanks! | |||
