Hello, I have recently bought a JVC HR - XV31EK VCR/DVD Combi and it appears it is not multi-region. Is there a hack anyone knows of - I have searched but to no avail so suspect it is non-hackable. If that is the case is there a temporary solution I can use disc by disc?
this seems to work for some but not all 1. Insert region 1 disc - you get region err - but, this tells the player which region DVD you wanted to play. 2. Eject the DVD, take the DVD of the tray and close it. 3. Hold down, on the front panel of the player, the "Stop" button until intital is displayed both on-screen and on the player panel. 4. Whilst initial is displayed, press the open button on the player, be quick. 5. Re-insert the DVD and close the drawer - BINGO! NOTE: that's the factory reset , after doing this reset the player will play ANY disc but when you eject it the player is region coded again , of course the downside of having to do this everytime is that you loose all of your settings. Another method: To temporarily change the region on this player 1. Press and hold the Stop button on the DVD player until Initial is displayed on the on-screen display and the player LCD display 2. Release the Stop button on the DVD player 3. Press the Open/Close button on the DVD player to open the disc tray 4. Insert a DVD of your chosen region into the drive tray 5. Press the Open/Close button on the DVD player to close the disc tray NB: You must complete steps 3-5 whilst Initial is still being displayed 6. Your player will now be set to the region of the DVD you inserted into the player, until you next power it off.
