After many unsuccessful attempts using the method described above, it finally worked! Judging by the number of posts on various forums, there seems to be a large number of people not succeeding - I almost gave up - so I thought I'd share a few observations about exactly what I did! Just FYI, my model was purchased in New Zealand (region 4), has firmware 2.06, has a Samsung series 7 LED TV attached, powered-up, connected via HDMI. I gave up trying the mains-power-off-for-30-seconds step. Instead, using the remote, i switched the power on, waited for the unit to discover there was no disk in the drive and display "no disc" on the front panel. At this point I went off on a tangent and visited the system information menu to see the current region setting. It was stubbornly displaying B/4 (B being the BlueRay region code, 4 being the DVD region) I exited the menus and returned to the blue samsung welcome screen. Then, very rapidly, using the remote, I pressed Enter-8-4-2-6-9-Enter. For the first time in many, many attempts, something happened... A box appeared in the top left corner of the screen containing the number 4 - presumably the region code. (Note that the disk tray did not open.) Not sure of the significance of this, i powered off using the remote, powered on again, and went straight to the system information menu to see if the region code was different. Frustratingly however it stayed B/4. I was about to give up and walk away when i thought i'd try one more time. so i returned to the welcome screen and repeated the rapid keypresses. Again, a box appeared but this time it said "DVD Region free". i went straight back to the system information display which was still saying B/4. But when i inserted a region 1 disk, it played immediately. I think the missing ingredient that's causing people problems is the speed with which you have to press the keys. I used my left thumb on the enter key (I'm right handed) and my right thumb to tap the digits. I took less than 1 to 2 seconds. Also, i notice that my tv interprets the absence of a signal coming from the disc player as being the cue to display an information box in the top left corner. It does this every time the disc player discovers that there's no disc in the tray. This may have obscured message boxes from the disc player on my earlier attempts to apply the code. This, coupled with the fact that the disc player continues to display B/4 on the system information window, means that i may have missed the fact that the hack had succeeded on an earlier attempt. Now my wife is very happy that she can watch her stack of Japanese DVDs! hope this helps... | |||

1. Open tray and remove any disks in tray. 2. Close tray. 3. Switch Off Player and Unplug from mains wait 30 seconds (this clears RAM) 4. Reconnect to power 5. Turn on player with remote. (Don't forget the TV too). 6. Press ENTER on remote. 5. Press 8, 4, 2, 6, 9. 7. Press ENTER on remote. 8. This is the tricky part, you will need to do steps Six to seven at least six times (as per other posts). You will know when you have been successful when a blue box appears in the top LH side of the Screen stating "DVD Region Free" The above hack worked on a Region 4 Samsung Blue Ray Player. | |||

Follow original hack instructions. Be patient it's all in the speed of number entry. Tray does not open, a message appears in top left corner saying 'Region Free'. I just successfully used after latest HT-BD1255 firmware upgrade. | |||
