Page 1 of AKAI 3140 hack

I can confirm that the AKAI 3140 DVD player stocked by Argos in the UK & Ireland plays discs from all commercially available regions.

The hack, courtesy of Mark1234 is:

1. Player on
2. Open Tray
3. Key in 8 4 2 1
4. Menu appears, use cursor to switch to region or macrovision, and press
SELECT to change values. Set region to 9 for region free :-)

SIMPLE!!!

I just bought this DVD player and tried the hack and for multi region it works a treat but you say use the cursor to select either region or macrovision, how ? I tried this and only the region option is shown. Is it possible newer machines have had this option disabled ?
