Once you get into the LoopHoles how do you chance the region?

Hi There,

I take it you have upgraded the firmware on your player....! Of course you have! If you haven`t you`ll have to download the firmware from dukey`s site: -

http://www.theironduke.plus.com/HitachiSyndicate/Files/files.html

,burn it to a CD-R and then insert it into the drive of your 505. The firmware will then be upgraded.

If you haven`t upgraded your firmware, you can still get into the loopholes menu but the region and macro option won`t be available.....!

When changing the region and macro, it doesn`t matter if you have a disc in or not. If there is a disc in make sure you press STOP twice, or if you want to do it without a disc inserted then all you have to do next is the following: -

(1) Press SETUP on the remote;
(2) Press LAST on the remote;
(3) Press SKIP REV on the remote;
(4) Press SKIP FWD on the remote;
(5) A list will then appear with REGION ID and MACRO being 2 and 3 in the list respectively.
(6) Change the region and `Backup` your DVD`s to your hearts content!

You can also get into the test screen as well, it is exactly the same as above apart from SKIP REV and SKIP FWD being the other way around.

Hi There,

some players need you to restore defaults in the menu section.
