Page 1 of dual ddvdh1

has anyone found the hack code for dual ddvdh1 yet, i really need it.
thanks mike

No joy yet at finding a hack for this machine. I have only been able to access the `information screen` detailing the region settings but not found a way to `change` the setting.

This will bring up the info, but I`m stuck at this point. Through a major search I have discovered that Dual is actually made by a company in Korea called Namsung Electronics but I have not been able to discover any more info from any of their websites. They sure are a mysterious company although, I have had several Dual products in the past and they all seem to be pretty good quality - for the price.

Forgot to mention....The machine appears to be a `clone` of something else - I notice that Argos have an almost `identical` model !!!

I picked up one of these yesterday from Asda, it would be handy if it could be made multiregion.
I have found if you go to the preferences screen before typing the 1379 code you do see a different screen...only showing region code.
I have tried many combinations of button pressing but unable to switch region.

Hi Fil

Just happend to check back here and saw you had just replied...

Sorry to sound `thick....lol`, but....what do you mean by the `preference screen` ???? I can`t seem to get my model to show the region code only.....all I can get is the screen with the region code and all the version numbers etc.......

I have however discovered that it is made for other countries - the same machine is available through Wal Mart in the US which is the owner of ASDA here - so, there MUST be a way to change it !!!!!!

cheers :-)

Here`s what I did...from memory ;-)
press Setup on remote
use arrow keys to select the top items, goto the one far right (I think it is preferences)
now press 1379 etc but instead of seeing version numbers etc I just see a region number (greyed out)
Not sure also if having the disc tray out helps, some hacks I saw said about opening that first!

Cheers

Just wondering whether anyone has managed to get beyond the `1379` screen???? I have played with every combo I can think of but still......nothing !!!!!! Just seems odd that one screen shows `Region 2` in bold and the other screen in `shaded` letters - we must be getting closer.....lol

hi there,

open the tray
push the stop button
type in 1369
then push 0
and close the tray.


then go back in to the setup and type in 1379 and the region should have changed.
Hope this helps.

doesnt work mate

Hi guys.........

Hate to say it but, it didn`t work on my machine either. I tried it several ways.....using the buttons on the remote, then the buttons on the player, but, nothing happened. Are you sure you didn`t miss something out????
