Onkyo DV - SP506 All Region Code

[pagos76]

Hello to All. (new member)
I just got an Onkyo DV - SP506 and I was wondering if there is a way to change the region code to play all regions for this player. ( I have a few region 1's from when I was studying)
Thank you in advance.

I considered buying this before I bought Pioneer DV-LX50 a few days ago, but dropped it because the company that imports Onkyo to Norway said it "can't be unlocked easily, I'll have to check further with Onkyo if it can be done through a service job"...

Do you have any progress on
-> how to unlock the onkyo DV-SP506 for all-region-free DVD?
Please, let me know if any ... thanks!

Found it! It was not a so big secret and that's fare. The DV-SP506 can be set up to the region of choice.
Didn't see any reply though ...

I also got an Onkyo SP506, but i couldn't find anything to get the "All Region Code".

Can you please help me ?

Yes, and even though I haven't tested -but I'm sure of it as the source is Onkyo service manual of the DV-SP506. You don't change it as "all region" you just select the region you need:
1. It requires to have the RC-484M remote control that is not the one that comes with the SP506. The one that comes with the DVD is the RC-657DV.
2. You can change the region code using the RC-484M remote:
a) turn on power and "No Disc" condition
b) Press "DVD" and "2" keys at the same time on the 484M
c) Press "Return" key -> displays REGION MODE
d) Press "1" for region 1, etc.
---> MDD1N: "1", MUP2P:"2", MUT3P:"3", MUK3N:"3" (also), MUA4P:"4".

Thanks for your fast response !

Unfortunaly i have only a remote control RC-738M.
(from my Onkyo TX-SR607)

I have tested it, but it is not working with this remote

So i have to buy a new remote control
