Page 1 of Urgently Need Multi Region Hack for Daewoo DVD 9000S5

A quick explanation of all the different hacks available for DVD players as well as their function would be well appreciated from some kind soul. I have never used a DVD player before and want to get the best out of it.

This hack is for 9000s,can work with 9000s5:

DVD-9000S:
Power On DVD player
Insert a disc and wait until either it is loaded, or the mention "wrong region" appears on the screen*
Press Setup
Press 1,3,7,9,8,8,8 and 8
A new button called Version will now appear in the Setup window
Press Down until you come to Version
Press Play
Press Up or Down to select the required region. Choices are from 0 to 6
Press Setup

Hi hansL,

Nice one for getting back to me.

Unfortunately I did what you said and nothing happened. I entered the code fast and slowly and it didn`t make any difference. Do you have any other ideas?

I wonder whether the manufacturer has used a more secure version of their software on the s5?

Hi
Sorry you didn´t make it.I found the hack here:

It looks as your player is regionfree if you read this:

I`ve tried this and it doesn`t work with the 9000s5. Any other suggestions other than to throw my player at the wall and buy another??

Slightly different model number but try here :)

Clayts my man, I don`t know what to say! The info you provided is remarkable. HOWEVER, you are talking about upgrading the firmware for a different model of Daewoo machine to the one I have. I wonder if that is a wise thing to try?

Does anyone out there know anyone else who has already tried replacing the 9000S5 firmware with 9000N?

All sounds a bit risky to me!

The hack to change the region settings on the 9000N does not work for the 9000S5 which makes me a bit suspicious that changing the firmware is a good idea.

Any comments anybody?

I recently bought a Daewoo DVD-9000s, and tried the region hack listed above. Unfortunately the `Version` button didn`t appear.

However, the text

P7180021/06111100.BIN

appeared at the bottom of the menu, but disapered when i moved the cursor. Any ideas?

This is the hack for the 9000s5:

DVD-9000S%:
Power On DVD player
Insert a disc and wait until either it is loaded, or the mention "wrong region" appears on the screen*
Press Setup
Press 1,3,6,9,8,8,8 and 8
A new button called Version will now appear in the Setup window
Press Down until you come to Version
Press Play
Press Up or Down to select the required region. Choices are from 0 to 6
Press Setup
Remove and reinsert your disc and the dvd will play with no problems.

hope this helps jgduffin

It worked very well, Thanks. My DVD player is now region free
