RE: Samsung DVD-R125 region hack

I`m using the Sharp Aquos LC-32GA3E. Although not stated in the manual, or anywhere else, I understand from Sharp that it is HDCP enabled. I made sure of this before I bought the Samsung R125.

RE: Samsung DVD-R125 region hack

Hello Alex

I don`t know whether the hack disables HDCP or not, but I am using the HDMI output (to the DVI input on a Sharp Aquos LCD TV) and it works fine - so far I`ve used it with R1 (NTSC), R2 (PAL) and R4 (PAL) discs with no problem. One thing, though: the 720p and 1080i HD formats, which the machine up-converts to, are 16:9 only. This means you can`t play back 4:3 material in the correct aspect ratio (you have to revert to SD for that). I hadn`t realised this until I got the Samsung, but a bit of checking around has revealed that HD was designed as a widescreen only format.

Samsung DVD-R125 region hack

Got it!!! Using the supplied Samsung remote, the procedure is as follows:

With no disc loaded, press 0 five times;
Press Repeat;
Press 3, 8, 7, 6, 7;
Current region code (2) appears in the top left-hand side of screen;
Press 9 (which will change that 2 to a 9);
Press Open followed by Close;
Machine is now multi-region.

Region hack for Samsung DVD-R125 wanted

I`m considering buying the Samsung DVD-R125 (a DVD recorder with HDMI connectivity). I haven`t been able to find anyone who supplies a `chipped` version, so I want to be sure it can be hacked for multiregion. Many thanks.
