I have the DV-655A dual voltage (110/240), PAL/NTSC, region 1 and "all" version. Bought it in the US with the aim of taking it back to Australia. Made the mistake of assuming that "all" ment multi region, but clearly it wasn't as it wouldn't play my Australian region 4 DVDs. Fortunately I found this web-site and was able to use the WinLIRC hack and Peter's code located under the Pioneer DV-454 hack dated 09 Jan 03. Building the LIRC transmitter was real easy. Down loaded the WinLIRC software and got it to work fairly easy also. The DVD player took the codes first go and now plays both my region 1 and 4 DVD's and I assume other regions as well! This was my first attempt at something like this and looking back it was pretty easy and exciting. Just wanted to thank Peter and the rest of you guys for a great resource. | |||

The Superfi (UK) store where I bought my 656A performed the multiregion hack with a universal remote. It was simply one key code. The guys in the store say they got the hack from Pioneer. Strange as it seems, Pioneer can't sell the player as multiregion, but have no problems allowing the customer to have his deck modified after sale. Anyway, I have a learning remote (came with my Denon AV amp) so I took it into the shop and copied the code into it. Anyone (at least in the UK) who is thinking of buying this excellent player, should steer clear of stores that charge for the so called "upgrade". Once you have the code, simply turn on the player, make sure there's no disc inside, and with the tray closed, press the magic button on the remote. The player switches off, and hey presto! An instant multi region, no RCE problems player. | |||

Many THANKS, for Peter and all the guys who posted here ! Thanks to you I have succeded ! Finally, my PIONEER 656 is "FREE from any ZONE" !! I have tried first using an Compaq laptop (it had an irda built in port) and WinLIRC + Peter's codes ... But It didn't work this way ! Because the laptop has only one COM port free (COM 1) , which is used by USB on default, and not by Irda ... WinLIRC didn't send any data this way ! So i've built the simple transmitter found here : http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html Then i have connected it to the serial port of my PC .After trying to send the codes with WinLIRC for 3-4 times, THE DVD PLAYER turned off ! When i've opened my 656, it was multizone ! In the menu still says REGION 2 , but i have played an region 1 DVD and it worked well ! I cant belive how easy and simple was all the hacking !!! Now i can finally enjoy my favorite region 1 DvD's : - T2 : JUDGEMENT DAY Ultimate Edition THX/DTS - Pearl Harbor THX/DTS which I was never able to see on my Pioneer 656 , but only on my PC DvD-ROM !! If anyone needs some help , I recommand you to use this simple Irda transmitter from : http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html After you have connect it to the serial port of your PC, use WinLIRC to send the codes to your DvD ! http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/ If you want them all , here you go : www.agurk.dk/pso/backup/pioneer_region_free.rar\ I think this solution works with any DvD Player, only the codes change ! For more codes try here : http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdhacks.php?dvdplayer=&Search=Search THANK YOU GUYS !! Without your HELP I have never succeded ! PETER , i'll buy you a crate of beer ! GOOD LUCK ! | |||

Hi! I have a european version of this DVD and it works just nice! I used the omni-remote 2.10 in my palm m515 to do the job. My DVD player firmware version is 1.076(16). Everytime I put a dvd from a diferente region, it switches automatically to that region. It will keep that settings until you put a diferent region dvd again in drive. Thnks for this great hack! Cheers | |||

Well my pronto did the trick with one of the remote codes posted on this site. I'm not entirely sure which one it was that worked, but it was one of the three below: 1) 0000 0067 0050 0000 0154 00af 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0014 045d 0154 00ae 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0014 045d 0154 00ae 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0014 00af 2) 0000 0069 0044 0000 0155 00ac 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 0400 0155 00ac 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 001c 001e 003f 001e 003f 001e 0400 3) 0000 0069 0049 0000 0154 00AA 001E 0032 0019 003C 001E 000F 0019 000F 001E 000A 001E 0037 0014 0005 0005 000A 001E 0037 001E 000A 001E 000F 0014 003C 001E 0037 001E 0037 0014 0014 001E 0037 0014 0014 001E 0037 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 0037 001E 0037 001E 000A 001E 000A 0019 003C 001E 000F 0014 003C 001E 0037 001E 000A 001E 000F 0014 0005 0005 0032 001E 0037 001E 000A 001E 045B 0154 00AA 001E 0032 001E 0037 001E 0037 001E 0037 0019 000F 001E 0037 0014 0014 001E 0037 0014 0014 001E 000A 001E 000F 0019 000F 001E 0037 0019 000F 001E 0037 0019 000F 001E 0037 0014 0014 001E 0037 001E 0032 001E 000F 001E 0032 001E 000F 0014 0005 0005 0037 0019 000F 001E 0037 0019 000F 0014 0005 0005 000A 001E 0037 001E 000A 001E 0037 001E 0037 0014 0465 014F 0000 Just create a new button on the Pronto, copy and paste the ASCII code to the button, go to the living room (or in whatever room the player is), press the button and you're all done... | |||

I programmed a <A HREF="http://www.futurehomesystems.com/pbtsu6000.shtml">pronto pro TSU 6000</A> with the following code that Burak Sepici posted above: 1) 0000 0067 0050 0000 0154 00af 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0014 045d 0154 00ae 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0014 045d 0154 00ae 0016 0040 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0016 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0014 00af Then, I turned on the Pioneer DV-656A (leaving the tray closed), and sent the code to it. This shut the player off, and when I turned it back on, it now plays both my R1 and R2 DVDs (and presumably any other region). | |||
