 Region code hack posted by Juliano, February 24 2005: | |||
I used same hack as many other LG players use - I copied the RTM folder to the root of the new CD. then burned it to a CD-R at 16x with Nero in ISO mode - I named the disk RTM. Here is the link I used to download the zipped up folder http://www.area450.co.uk/images/LG5000.zip I shut the player off - then on and opened the tray, inserted the disk and closed it, it then read the disk and opened up the region setting screen by itself, then I selected "0" on the remote as instructed and then pressed pause to exit as it said to..The DVD LED read "00" on it.. I then shut the machine off for a few seconds, then hit the eject buuton to start it up again and removed my disk. I put in a region 2 -4 DVD that I had, and closed it, and it played beautifully.. That's it... Easy as PIE | |||

I just got sent the firmware update for the DVB418 today from LG. It fixes the voice sync problem as well as the slow remote issues. You can download it from my website here: http://www.turbofroggy.com/images/dvb418_firmware.zip The "hack" mentioned above looks to be an internal tool used to switch the regions on these DVD players. You will have to use this tool/hack after you upgrade the firmware to reset the region correctly. (After I upgraded the firmware I could no longer play region 1 DVDs) LG tech support is clueless on this and wanted to send someone out to my house to "fix" the region problem. They are also short sighted enough that they don't have this download on their website, they have to snail-mail it to you. (sigh). Just download the zip file, you will find the ISO contained within it. Burn it to CD then put it in your player. Follow the on-screen instructions. NOTE: There is no activity when it is flash upgrading, you will just need to wait aproximatly 5 minutes while the player appears to be locked up. Don't worry, it isn't locked up. Don't turn it off or mess with it until it powers off and back on. This DVD player kicks booty. I am running it 1080i HDMI into an RCA 61" Scenium DLP and it look beautiful. | |||

Here is a mirror of the region hack from a server in the US: http://www.turbofroggy.com/images/LG5000.zip Don't worry about the file name, it really works on the LG DVB418 DVD player. | |||
