Remote hack for Initial IDM-1210 Portable

[Gavin_Hall]

Guys,

Here is a remote hack for an Initial IDM-1210 portable DVD player, this hack was originally posted on another forum for a Mintek 1020 portable player, but because Initial/Mintek/Shansonic are all the same players really, it also works with the Initial 1210 :-

step 1: turn on the power
step 2: enter into the set up menu using the remote
step 3: go into preferences menu
step 4: enter in the code 255135
step 5: quickly press the left arrow then the down arrow
step 6: a region code banner will appear, enter in the number zero
step 7: press set up again and your all done.

Update: 8/6/2005 You also need to ensure you have a DVD inside the player before you start the above!

Here is also a list of codes for other Initial players, simply replace the code mentioned above with the code you need! It may help somebody

I tried the region free hack for the IDM 1210 many many times and still can't get it to work. After following your instructions, I press the left arrow and then down arrow quickly but always get transferred to the next menu screen. I never get the region change banner. Please help. Thanks.
