Page 1 of Apex PD 450... help please

anybody know of a hack for this portable dvd system? purchased from the states plays region one from the box, tried R2/R3/R4 and displays wrong region,
cheers,
mark.

"I`m going to live forever, or die trying"...

back to the top...

"I`m going to live forever, or die trying"...

again...

"I`m going to live forever, or die trying"...

somebody must know?

`I plan to live forever, or die trying` ;)

In anticipation of my apex pd-450 arriving from america I have searched the web and found the following hack don`t know if it works yet though

Ok I found that this machine works with the same trick as the PD-650.

Tray Open -> SETUP -> select Preference Page using left- or right arrows -> Keys 1-3-6-9 will open menu showing SW-version.

The Firmware version of the PD-650 and PD-450 are the same:

Version 03.01.05.06
SUB-VER B3.00.6F.02

By pressing `1` repeatedly during boot with a Region-2 DVD will allow the PD-450 to play. After that the remote is useless until you eject the disc.

Wrong region also shows in the top left corner of the screen, to remove this move the PAL/NTSC switch to PAL and back to NTSC and it goes away, now all that is left is a stop sign in the top right corner.


If anyone knows how to get remote capability back when playing Region-2 discs please let me know.
