A DVD Player for HDTVs

Started by JRblog · 9 months ago

If you got on board with the DVD format back when it first came out, the chances are good that you have a gigantic, mediocre DVD player that you paid a small fortune for. Hey, it’s the price of being an early adopter, right? But now that the format has had a decade or so [ ... Continue reading »

    I tried to play a DVD of La Boheme and my tv & DVD player said "Wrong Region". The Region Code of the DVD is 0 (Worldwide). It is from La Scala in Milan. It would not play on my DVD or my parents. Is there something I can change on the DVD player to make it play?

    Does this come with an HDMI cable or do you need to buy one separately?

    We don't have any table space left.
    Dont want to store a DVD vertically.
    Can this unit physically support a 50 lb TV set sitting on top of it?

    rsm, I would strongly suggest that you do not place a 50lb television on top of this, or any dvd player for that matter.

    On Amazon, this box already comes Region Free. Does J&R not provide instructions to enable this to be Region Free? I bought an earlier model and they did for that one.

    Steve, I just spoke to someone and according to him, there is a hack that makes it region free.

    The hack is as follows:

    Hold the Stop key on the remote to Open the DVD tray
    press Setup
    select Preference
    Press 1,3,8,9,3,1
    Press up/down key to select "0

    Remember! The tray MUST be open in order for the Preferences menu to show up on Setup.

    Hope this helps.
