you might wanna find out the model number of your computer's dvd player so you can google it, but as far as i know, dvd players on computers are region-free meaning, you can play any dvd with any region.

Comment on How do you change the region code on a American PSP? by youngdragonrider

youngdragonrider — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 08:34:59 +0000

you cannot change regional codes. because if you could the regional lock outs basically woulndt matter.

you would need a mod chip that can read all UMDs no matter what region code it has.

http://www.modchipstore.com has many that are not highly priced and that they can install for you.

*NOTE* INSTALLING A MOD CHIP will VOID YOUR PSP WARRENTY

Comment on are there region codes for computer games? by Sue B

NO. Don’t waste your money, I bought Sims 3 World Adventures in Florida and brought it home to the UK… it doesn’t work. It says that the region is wrong despite having bought a different game in the US and that plays fine. It’s an EA thing!

In Britain, you CAN buy multi-region DVD players in the shops. This is because we are a free country…

Just tell the staff that you require a multi-region DVD player and you’ve got £XX amount to spend. They will tell you which players are multi-region from new.

Even if you buy a Region 2-only player, all the decent brands can be made multi-region, using a built-in manufacturers "hack".

Multi-region DVD players are not sold openly in stores. There are two ways:

You need to write down the models of DVD players you like and search the internet to see if a regional code crack is available. You can then buy it and crack it yourself. This generally involves either entering a series of codes with the remote or downloading a firmware flash that you burn to CD and and run it in the machine. http://www.videohelp.com/ is the site I personally used to crack my own. Don’t use a crack that hasn’t received good reviews and make sure you follow the instructions to the letter, as a botched crack will render a player useless and the waranty voided.

If you are not comfortable with the techo-savyness of the above, you can buy a pre-cracked player on eBay or from a site that sells imported DVDs. jlist.com is one site that has them. Be prepared to pay more for a pre-cracked players.

Details are provided through a video link at
http://dvp5982review.co.cc/change-a-phillips-dvp5990-to-region-0/

This is explained for DVP5990 but it also works for DVP 3356

In short, the steps are as follows
1. Press SETUP on your remote
2. Use the down arrows to go to Preference tab
3. Dial 138931
It will display the current region on the screen.

4. Use the up/down arrow on your remote to set the region that you want. Region 0 will open it for all regions.
5. Exit from setup.

I think you can't unlock region code limit or change region code for home dvd player, you can try to make region free DVDs from your region limit DVDs, then can play the region free DVDs on any region DVD player, you can try RZ DVD COPY, it can remove region code limit and copy DVD to a new DVD disc. You can yahoo or google search and download RZ DVD COPY, work well on my computer, easy to use, hope it can help you!

Comment on Is this a region 2 or a multi-region dvd player? by Margaret A

Margaret A — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:22:59 +0000

apart from the fact that your question has originated in America whether you live there or not.
if it isn’t multi region just get on the web at one of the unlock dvd web sites and for free or a small charge you can get a code to input and make it multi region. its something most people in the u.k. have to do as dvd players sold over here are not multi region when sold. and yes it is legal to do this.

DIVX playback EPG Days etc have nothing to do with playing multi region DVDs. In the US you cant purchase a multi region player. I dont know about other countries but I highly doubt theyre available through retailers anywhere. This is done so people in one country cant purchase DVDs from another country. The releases are timed. A DVD released in the US may still be playing in theatres in another country. They want to maximize theatre profits before the DVD is released.

Not all but many players can be hacked to play multi region. Hacking is a risk and a bad hack could make the player completely useless. For more info check this site. Lots of hacks, forums, tutorials etc. Ive never used a hack but its a great site where I find software and a whole lot of info
