Page 1 of samsung dvd 511 wont hack????

Trying to multiregion hack a samsung dvd 511 and have followed the simple instructions (play/stop, select language, repeat 38767, etc). Nothing happens at this point and apparently the region code (2) should appear before it can be changed. Is it a newer firmware version or am i missing something???? thanks.

To convert this player to Multi-Region playback 1. Press the Repeat button on your remote control 2. Using your remote control enter the code below, note that you must know what Region your player is currently set to in order to know which code is appropriate
for Region 1 use 2, 9, 3, 3 and 4
for Region 2 use 3, 8, 7, 6 and 7
for Region 3 use 5, 6, 7, 3 and 2
for Region 4 use 7, 6, 8, 8 and 4
for Region 5 use 5, 3, 8, 1 and 4
for Region 6 use 2, 4, 4, 6 and 2
3. A code should be displayed on the screen indicating the current Region setting of your unit. 4. Press the 9 button on your remote control for Region free, or 1 for Region 1, 2 for Region 2 and so on. 5. Press the Open button on your player 6. Press the Standby button on your remote control If the player sticks on FBI Warning screens

so you dont need to "cold start" by holding down play and stop????

the cold start is to set the player to factory settings

Do you definitely have a Region 2 player, juz57? The 5-digit code varies depending on what your player is currently set to. Also, the hack doesn`t work at all on American versions.

Another thing worth pointing out is: make sure you`re using the REPEAT button, *not* REPEAT A-B.
