	Like many of the LG DVD/HD recorders: 1 Press 'SETUP' 2 Scroll down to LOCK 3 Press '0' seven times A message that confirms that the player is region free will appear on the screen! This hack works for me.

	Hi, after many days and lots of different tries to find a multiregion hack for this recorder, I finally found a way that works. - Go to this site: http://lgregionfree.tripod.com/2005/menu1.htm - Click on the 5000 DVD Player and download the zip file "5000.zip" - Unzip the folders and files to the hard drive in exactly the same order as they are in the zip. - Burn the folder "RMTM0000" (including sub files and/or folders) to a blank CDR, naming the CDR "CODEFREE" - Make sure you record the disc as Disk At Once (DAO) and as a closed (once only) session. - Make sure you burn the disc in Joliet mode (not ISO) - Insert the disc into the player (with the player in DVD mode, and Input set to "AV1"). It won't play, but the disc icon in the left hand upper corner will read "DATA". Next, press the "Home" key on the remote. Scroll to the Movie icon, then down to disc. Hit the "Enter" key on the remote. After about 10 seconds, a Region Select menu will come up. Press "0" on the remote for multi-region. The screen will go back to normal and you should be able to play any region.

	This hack works perfectly on my RH188S purchased in Spain. I downloaded the "New 1000 Series" linked file. The package also comes with an update of some sort which I did not install. Instead I only installed the "CODEFREE" file and it works perfect. You must drag the whole RMT000 file into your burning software. I set my machine to AV1 and inserted the disk. A screen came up that shows "Current Region" and the next line says "Change Region". Press "0" for region free and the screen will disappear. Easy and makes this great machine even better.
