DISQUS

blog.jr.com: A DVD Player for HDTVs

  • Caroline Kinsey · 1 year ago
    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?

    you are using an European code, this player only play Pal and NTSC. Pal is the system for Asia region, NTSC for USA

    PAL is Europe. Not Asia. I am from Europe...

    I have seen this region code hack for this machine but have not tried it personally: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks?dvdplayer=Phi...

    Does this come with an HDMI cable or do you need to buy one separately?
  • Atane · 1 year ago
    Snydercom, it does not come with an HDMI cable.

    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?
  • Atane · 1 year ago
    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.
  • Atane · 1 year ago
    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.

    It definitely does and I appreciate your quick response.

    When I use HDMI output i do not get aduio, if I use RCA input then I hear the audio, please advise what to do.
