Lg Dp271

[pyrie]

Just purchased this lovely Portable DVD player from Argos using my Nectar points !! ..and tried the Only suggested hack for region free..

Turn on, open door, press 0,0,0 on remote then use the menu presented... press pause to complete..then power off..

No luck...and seems this is not going to be a region free machine

any ideas

[zitamay]

Same here! What a disappointmet...I chose this player because its good quality AND because I thought I can make it multi region...Any help would be welcome along with any problems anyone has had with them.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had any luck with this player? I bought it this after noon for a birth day to go with some region 1 dvds I got.

Nothings come up so far ... if I could find some info on how one might work out - or attempt a hack...

Pyrie,

Seems to work 100% fine for me. Assuming you get the on-screen region selection menu, enter '0' for the new region code and hit pause to 'exist'.

My player does now seem to 'exist' (as do I for some inexplicable reason). More importantly, my DP271 now plays discs from both regions 2 & 4...

Hope this helps...

Hi..cheers for the update
tried this a few times... maybe its timing... but I can't get the on-screen region menu..

can you go through same again..and write down steps (ie
turn on...

wait for LG to disappear
Press open
wait
then press 0,0,0,0 on the remote
etc


and I'll buy you a virtual beer!!!!!!

cheers



->>> Update - whats your "area code " set as... (from Setup, LOCK, area code) as mine reads GB... and I'm not sure if thats significant?

This is such a good player, shame i cant make it to region free... ah well... hope a solution comes along in the future... the hack seems to work on dp271B models i think... mine's dp271 only

[Verne034]

One thing that you guys could do, which i know i will... is use software on the PC, such as DVD Catylist, to rip the Region X DVDs to XVids, then shove those on a memory stick, or portable drive.... which can be connected via the USB. Overall i am very pleased with the player.

[octig3n]

yeah... I bought a maxtor portable drive and put all my divx movies there... it works... but I still wanna get this thing to have multi-region cos it'd be nice to watch TV shows that are on region 1 only right now... anyways

Hi, did this hack work for the Lg DP271? Can it now play any region dvds?

The only hack i've found online seems to work for the LG Dp271B. By the way, whats the difference between the both (LG DP271 and LG DP271B)???

Thanks!!

[pyrie]

Can't seem to get this hack to work at all...

No idea what the B means... most peculiar!
Such a shame!

[octig3n]

"B" means better... hehehe... no really the DP271 is a great player...

Hi Guys

I found this web site, which worked for me (especially option 3) as I have the LG HT902TB system.
