Page 1 of WAL-MART ILO DVDR04 - Hack needed

I recently bought an ILO DVDR04 at WAL-MART in the USA for an amazing $118 !
Its NTSC/PAL so OK on use in UK but its Region 1 only. Has anyone got the multi-region hack for this machine?. I think its similar/clone/rebadge of the 4KUS DVR-230.

:) Update from DT - I found the hack at ilodvd.atspace.com - and it works!
However although handbook for this machine states that it supports both NTSC and PAL there seems to be no way to switch it over to PAL. (Contrary to setup menu claim!).
Anyone help ?

For anyone out there interested, the ILO DVDR04 has now been *ROLLED BACK* to just $98 bucks at Wal-Mart. They are advertising it as the DVDR05 model, but all the boxes in stock are the DVDR04. Pretty cool, since LITE-ON makes this recorder. The DVDR05`s are made by a DIFFERENT manufacturer, so get the 04`s while there are still some left, since there are many hacks on the net, plus a firmware upgrade that fixes ALL the glitches that many consumers have complained about in re of this machine.

Also, please note that LITE-ON told me over the phone that the machine will not read certain name brand CD-R/RW discs: Phillips/Magnavox, Memorex, and another one, I don`t remember which; however, it does read MAXELL discs, and they will read the ILO brand discs, as well. Maxell and ILO discs are priced cheap, and the recording quality is crap in SLP (6-HR) mode, and decent in EP (4-HR), but I`d recommend the SP or HQ modes, but you will only get 2 hours in SP mode, and 1 hour in HQ mode. So, if you`re gonna do TV episodes, you`ll need alot of discs to get all of those shows burned in a good quality burn.

Region code hack
found a hidden menu on the "Setup" menu on DVDR04
you must do the following to open it.
Enter "Setup" menu on the screen.
Scroll down and highlight "Exit".
While "Exit" is highlighted enter 2,9,6, and 0 and press "Enter".
A hidden menu pops up and you can select your region.

Have a Nice Region Free Day Guys bye. :-]
