RIGHT PAY ATTENTION power up dvd ,make sure their is NO DISC in tray ,press PAUSE on remote enter 314159 you hopefully should have the word coDe on player ,if so then select region you wish ie 1 -2 enter via remote ADVICE i use region 0 as it automatically selects less hassle and it will play region code enhanced discs ie the patriot,from this setup.when you have selected your region again press pause and power off for afew seconds .GOOD LUCK
