Hi all
After setting up my Samsung UBD-K8500 DVD player its suddenly occurred to me that it won't play reg1 DVDs, I have tried to hack the machine to reg 0 but gave been unsuccessful with this advice:-
DVD Region Hack for SAMSUNG UBD-K8500/XU
Does anyone on here know if what I would like to do can actually be done?
I understand the multi region capability would, most likey, be for DVDs only and not Blu Rays/UHD discs (I believe UHD discs to be region free ATM?) but as I have quite a few rare and music reg 1 DVDs I still wish to be able to play them.
I would love the answer to be a yes and a trusted and used link to a hack would be the ideal soloution, however I would also be up for a chip change (if that's what it's called these days?) if the cost was not prohibitive.
Thanks
