Hacking your LG DVD player

I bought a new DVD player this weekend and was frustrated to see that it only played DVD’s for our local region. Having a huge anime (all imported) and movie library with the majority purchased overseas this just would not do. A little poking around on the Internet found the solution and I am led to believe this is a standard procedure on most new LG DVD players.

To make your DVD player Region Free

1. Power on
2. Open the tray
3. Press Pause
4. Enter 0000 (4 zeros, A region reset menu will appear)
5. Enter 0
6. Press Pause
7. Power off

Now when you restart the region restrictions will be removed and your DVD player will play any DVD. Thank goodness for a company with a brain – go LG.
