RE: multi region hack for samsung-s221 model..

Hi,

Did you see my posting dated 10 October 2002? Like I said earlier, I inserted a region 0 DVD into my Samsung S221 DVD player and it was able to play the DVD just fine.

If you are trying to program your Samsung S221 to play DVDs for specific regions (e.g. regions 2-6), that`s another story. I don`t know how to do that, but I have three suggestions for you:

1) Borrow some region 2-6 DVDs and see if they will play on your DVD player

2) Find a friend who is good at hacking into DVD players and setting the codes

3) Hopefully kind soul on this site will be able to answer your question

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Region 0 DVDs (at least those from India) play on a Samsung S211 (USA) WITHOUT doing any hacking!!!

Hello All,

Last night, a friend came by to see if she could do a multi-regional hack on my Samsung S211 DVD player. She brought a region 0 DVD to test my player. However, before she did any hacking, we turned on my TV and DVD player and inserted the DVD. The region 0 DVD played WITH NO PROBELMS.

The DVD that she brought was NOT a bootleg DVD. It was one that her friend paid money for (read: copyrighted version). Sometimes, the quality of the DVD themselves can be suspect. So, before hacking, borrow some region 0 (or other desired region 1-7) DVDs from your friends and try to play them on you Samsung S211 DVD player.

Also, be careful whom you buy your DVDs from and make sure they have a decent return or refund policy!!

Good luck everyone.

Region 0 / multi-regional hack for samsung-s221 model..

Hello,

An authorized dealer Samsung was willing to help you do a zone change?!?!?! Was that dealer in the US or Panama?

Also, has anyone tried to play a region 0 DVD on a Samsung S221?

Any advice on the above two queries would be greatfully appreciated.

Hello,

Samsung was willing to help you do a zone change? Was that the American arm of Samsung (Samsung USA)?

Also, has anyone tried to play a region 0 DVD on a Samsung S221?
