 Region code hack posted by Marcelo Donoso (a friend from Chile), January 18 2002: | |||
Sorry my english. I live in Chile (zone 4) and the DVD N-501 Nuon is zone 1,and i own a N-501 zone 1 that i bought in the USA. My brother bought an Aiwa NSX200, i use the remote control of the Aiwa(model RC-AAS11),I turned on the player and press the "Clock" (in the nsx200 remote is Shift+9, do it fast, almost at the same time)(i tried with another Aiwa HiFi remote and it work too) button on the "Aiwa Remote Control", in the front panel say "ADJUST" and the drawer pops open, and on the tv appears "Region Free" in the left-up corner, Just for a little moment, then i put a DVD zone 4 that i rent (Aliens) and it work, i tried with a DVD Zone 3, and also works ***AWESOME!!!. The only problem that you need to do this every time that you turn off and on the DVD player It's a little annoying, but the reward is huge... Also works with N709 (only that N709 is PAL) and Extiva N2000, i tried with those too, and it works!!! NOW GET AN AIWA HIFI REMOTE CONTROL, AND ENJOY!!! A FRIEND FROM CHILE (SOUTH AMERICA)... | |||

Use an Aiwa Hifi Remote Control... 1. Turn on the N-501 (without any DVD on the player) 2. Wait until in the TV appears "No Disc" 3. Open the tray and put a DVD from other region (not zone 1), don't close the tray!!!. 4. On the remote control of the Aiwa press the "Clock" button, in some remote control you must do a button combination like "Shift+9" (Is the combination to see the clock, do the combination fast), and in other model of Aiwa remote control doesn't appear the clock button, you must try with the "random" button. 5. If you do it right, in the corner of TV where appears "No Disc" will be say "Region Free", in the Player Screen say "ADJUST" and the tray must close, and you are ready to enjoy the movie on your player. 6. your DVD is now REGION FREE until you turn it off, while you don't turn it off, you can change movies whatever times you want.if you turn it off, every time you turn it on, you must do all the steps again to be able to see other region movies. I GUARANTEE THIS BECAUSE I'M LIVE IN CHILE AND GOT MOVIES ZONE 1,4 AND 3 AND IT PLAYS ON MY NUON DVD PLAYER. ALSO WORKS WITH EXTIVA N2000 AND THE EUROPEAN VERSION OF THE N709... (I PROVED TOO) | |||

Hack To Samsung M301! Actually there is a Hack, I found it last weekend after "playing" about an hour with the equipment.. You can do it using an Aiwa Remote or a Configurable remote with sleep and clock buttons, setting it to control an Aiwa receiver. The Trick is: Turn the equipment (M301) On. Open the Disk Tray. Press Sleep in the Aiwa remote, after that you will see the cold start screen in the TV. Press Clock three times Very Quickly between pressing and pressing, After this you will see an Adjusting Message in the M301 LCD Screen. Put the Disk you wanna watch and close the disk tray, no matter what region it is, it will Play. The Hack will work as soon as the equipment is kept on, after you Turn the M301 off, it will go back to its initial state (it will ask for the language every time you do a Cold Start). Best Regards From Venezuela and Enjoy!! Danirod | |||

The N-501 can also be made region free by using "One For All" universal remotes. The one that I have has model no "URC 6012". Here are the steps, 1. Turn on your dvd player 2. When you see "no disc" on the LED display, enter the following key sequence using the universal remote. (a) Press the receiver button "RCVR/AMP" (b) Hold "Set" button until the led on the remote flash twice. (c) Punch in 0121 (this will make the universal remote a AIWA remote). (d) Press "Set", but don't hold it. (e) Punch in 078. 3. The tray will eject and you should see "ADJUST" on the LED display. "Region Free" will be shown on your TV. 4. Put in a non-region 1 DVD, it should play fine. | |||
