RE: Wanted Budget: Multiregion DVD player that plays VCDs and MP3s too.

Hi, I have the samsung M105, and X-Men, region 2, and it plays fine for me.

As others have suggested, change the model, but clean the lens first

RE: rce protection on samsung m105 !!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mike....

of course you can call me paranoid if you like; I have been called much worse!

Isn`t the www a wonderful thing. You get useful advice and chided all at the same time.

So, all is good and the RCE encoding will not cause me a problem after all.

Many thanks for that Mike.

Dare may I ask if anyone would know about the Wharfedale 750 being RCE compatible, and this after being visited by the nice Tesco-affiliated upgrade man?

RE: rce protection on samsung m105 !!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all...

i know this is a somewhat personal question to some, but which RCE discs have been successfully tried on the samsung m105.

i am particularly interesting in getting the R1 RCE vervsion of Black Hawk Down, but i am somewhat reluctant to buy this if it will not work.

please could people:

a) confirm that their/friends samsung m105 does play the RCE discs, and

b) which movie(s) have they tried.

thanks in advance

RE: Getting frustrated trying to hack Samsung M105

I bought the Samsung M105 yesterday, and had some problems with the region unlock, and then followed quite a few links and eventually found this.

It is long winded, and I will summarise the UK solution below it, to help other non-techies like me!!!

Press REPEAT on your remote control (that`s REPEAT, not REPEAT A-B!) followed by a five-digit sequence which corresponds to the currently set region, as follows:

R1 - 29334 (DVD-x09 and clones only)
R2 - 38767 (If you have a DVD-M series player, e.g DVD-M105, with firmware 5.02Ee, use 57538 instead)
R3 - 56732
R4 - 76884
R5 - 53814
R6 - 24462

So, supposing your player is currently set to R4, press REPEAT-7-6-8-8-4. If it`s R1, press REPEAT-2-9-3-3-4. And so on.

If you`ve done this correctly, 0x will appear at the top left of the screen where x is the currently set region. You can change this to a region of your choice by pressing the appropriate digit on your remote control. For example, if you want to change it to region 6, press 6.

Alternatively, you can set an "auto-region" mode which determines the correct region automatically (even for RCE discs) by pressing 9.

To store the newly-set region, press OPEN/CLOSE or EJECT (either on your remote or on the player itself) to open the tray - you must do this before 0x disappears from the screen. When the tray is open, wait at least 15 seconds, then press DVD POWER (may be called POWER, or STANDBY) on the remote to close the tray and put the player into Standby mode.

The next time you turn the player on, it will be set to the region you selected (or to "auto-region" mode, if you selected "region 9").

Put simply....

press Repeat.
type 38767
02 SHOULD appear, top left corner of screen....(try it and check it happens before trying the rest, since if it does not happen, the rest is useless)

The following must be done BEFORE the 02 disappears off screen.

I would recommend pressing 9 now, to create a region free player.
Press Open/Close on remote once.
Press Power Off, (the top-left button on remote, red on mine)
Wait 15 seconds or longer, turn on player and try a non-region 2 dvd.

This did work for me, but the difference i noticed, (and hence my longwinded first post), was the addition of the pressing of the 9 digit, AFTER the 5 digit code entry.

This step is not listed, (or sorry, i did not notice it in my haste last night), and therefore, i could not hack the player.

Forgive me for the established users, who may be fed-up of newbies asking for this one, but it is a pain, if the 9, or similiar is not entered.

thanks for your time, and good luck.
