To hack this into the region of your choice, follow the instructions already posted here for the Wharfedale M3, except that step 7 should read:-
Use the up & down buttons on the remote control to select the region required.
The original instructions suggest that the left & right buttons alter the regions. Not so!
The above notes also apply to the Warfedale M3.
The player is v. cheap,(£ 69.99 in Tesco) but suitable for my needs, it even plays jpeg loaded CR-R` as a slide show!
