Does anyone know the region hack for the LG DR289H DVD Recorder ?

Many Thanks

Hiya

Wish i could help you - have exactly the same issue - if you do have any luck, perhaps you`d be good enough to let me know?

Thanks :B

HI THERE,
After a fair bit of research i have found the hack for this player.
It`s as follows.

Switch the player on.

When it`s booted up hold down CLEAR on remote and PROG Down on the front panel of your dvd player simultaneously for about 6 seconds.

You will see a list of codes

Change OP6 from ae to 8e.

Press Enter and then menu/list on your remote.

Your player will reboot.

Now your player is Multi region. :)

I have fully tested this and it works 100%.

Brilliant! The other half of my DVD collection is now viewable so thanks a million for that.

Er...like the moron I am, I screwed up the hex codes before the binary in OP1 and OP2 resulting in some strange hyroglyphics on the green LED display- please can you tell me what they are?

Thanks once more!

Hi There,
The hex codes for OP1 is db and OP2 is b0.

The lines should read OP1:db 11011011 M:10,D17
OP2:b0 10110000 E:14(CO)

Hope this helps

hi,done hack works great but like the other user i boobed,,what is the hex codes for all but op6,your assistance would be appreciated..

The hex codes are as follows: OP1:db OP2:b0 OP3:03 OP4:60 OP5:0e OP7:47 OP8:02 OP9:00 OPA:00 .

Hope this sorts out your problem.

Hi,
I have purchased the LG DR289h DVD Recorder and it has a USB port at the front of the unit. I would have thought that it would play divx movies from my USB pen drive, but it won`t pick the Divx movies up.

Would you know if this player does play movies from usb or not?

Would you know if there is another dvd recorder/player that does have this feature?

Thanks

I have just purchased one of these DVD recorders and followed your instructions. Unfortunately I amended teh first two lines of code and now can`t get the remote to work. Any idea how this can be rectified and/or return the DVD to its initial settings so I can try it again. I have tried looking for a firmwatre update in case this may work but can`t find anything.

Any help would be most appreciated.
