Page 1 of Pioneer DV 444 Region Hack!

Ok i found a hack on the net at vcdhelp for the pioneer dv 444, however i cant test this hack because i dont have any region 1 discs.

If there are any other Pioneer DV 444 owners that can test this hack please let me know so i can start buying region 1 discs!

Here is the Hack:-

1 Turn on your DVD player without a disc
2 Press "setup"
3 Press "right Arrow" until "general" is selected
4 Press "down arow" once
5 Press "display"
6 Press "condition Memory"
7 Press "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" or "6" for the Region
9 Press "setup"

After this the unit is ready to play the selected region

Thats the instructions for manually changing the regions on A PRE-MODIFIED PLAYER.

There is no remote hack.

Vcdhelp seems to be full of these `I haven`t tested it but it should work` hacks..

Damn, ah well never mind, i have heard that you can flash the firmware on this player don`t know for sure though, if you can suggest a cheap and good way to make this player region free i would be greatful thanks.

go to `mailuk` site.

they do a region free premiere flash and macro disable for the 444 for £20
