The Ronin 215F cannot be hacked with the same code as the 215. The method for this machine is:- Switch on, enter 8561 with the remote and a menu should appear. Scroll down to "Region" and set it to region 0.Or whichever you like.Just Bought this player seems excellent reccomend it easy hack worked first time. | |||

Thanks to Steve Jobson this hack worked 1st time & was very easy as per his instructions! The method for this machine is:- Switch on, enter 8561 with the remote and a menu should appear. Scroll down to "Region" and set it to region 0. An excellent player & value for your money (£49). | |||

A simple question, do I have to have DVD tray open before I enter the hack code.? | |||
| Region code hack posted by Pete Fermamdp, November 29 2003: | |||
no you don't have to have the tray open. You should be able to just key in the code using the remote as soon as the machine boots up and then a menu will appear on the screen. Took a few attempts for me to get the right timing. But it worked perfectly! Cheers guys! | |||

Tray does not need to be open, but the player must be switched on from cold with mains switch - warm power up from remote standby doesnt work. Hack is very easy to use as stated and machine feature packed for only 40£ inc vat on ebuyer uk | |||

Jinger, its the TV (if its an OLD one), not able to play / show NTSC pictures, you can get a special cable from either Dixons / Comet that might help | |||

re Other hack posted by Jinger, January 01 2004: what happens if you set the mode to PAL rather than the default "Auto" - use NTSC/PAL button to cycle thru. A. | |||

Hi, This is not ronin dvd p215 or 215f, but simply DVD-215 (from manufacturer’s model label) I tried various combinations of code: Drawer out – press setup – key 13698888 Other hackers then say scroll to version and use enter to then scroll to region code. Unfortunately the version or region code does not appear. Tried 8561 from cold boot – drawer in / drawer out from initial screen or from setup menu – nothing at all I did find that if the drawer is in or out appears to make no difference, but if I key 8888 with anything you name before it the result is a code is displayed, (PABC0021/13111213.[CAN’T READ THE NEXT BIT]) If I open setup and leave at default ‘general setup page’ and key numbers 1379, then I get a display, which I can’t alter: Version 0F.06.00.01 Sub-Ver 13.11.12.05 8032 03.01.06.04 Servo 00.00.F6.57 Risc 02.01.06.04 Dsp 02.03.01.58 Region Code 2 (the 2 is on a band highlighted green), but I can’t change it – no way Manufacturer’s label from the back: Model DVD-215 OCT 2003 PABC034200428 VERSION:2.2 Anyone got any brilliant ideas before I just take it back to the shop, cos they told me it was multi-region | |||

Ronin 215 is often sold as just 215 and not advertised as Ronin i.e. I think Dabs do this. For the latest firmware and remote hacks plus support to help you with upgrades and issues see http://roninhacks.shacknet.nu | |||

Sorry guys but the above hacks don't seem to work for me. New player, definitely P215F, serial number shows PABC0402 which tells me it was manufactured 2nd week of 2004. Have tried the switch-on from cold, wait for boot up (READ), type in 8561 and all I get is message NO DISC. Have tried switch-on from cold and typing in 8561 before the machine finishes READ and all I get is INVALID KEY. Grateful for any ideas. Is this a later version which perhaps has a different hack, or no hack at all. Have tried the various websites quoted in this forum and tried all the remote hacks given. Nothing brings up the region code menu. | |||
