1. Make sure that there is no disc in the tray and switch on the player.
2. Cold start the player, by holding down the FF and PAUSE buttons on the player. (try Stop and Pause if this doesn`t work)
3. You should see a set of language options. Release the FF and PAUSE buttons.
4. Select your language.
5. Press REPEAT then the following codes for the required region the player is already set to (region you bought the player in):
Region 1 - 2, 9, 3, 3, 4
Region 2 - 3, 8, 7, 6, 7
Region 3 - 5, 6, 7, 3, 2
Region 4 - 7, 6, 8, 8, 4
Region 5 - 5, 3, 8, 1, 4
Region 6 - 2, 4, 4, 6, 2

6. A code will appear, indicating the region setting of your player.
7. Press 9 for region-free, or 1 for region 1, 2 for region 2, etc.
8. Press OPEN on the Player to open the disc tray.
9. Press STANDBY on the remote control to close the tray. Next time the player is turned on it will set to the region specified. If the player halts on the FBI Warnings, press Forward Search x2 or faster.

If this method doesn`t work for you, then try the following alternative adjustments.

Step 4: in addition to the selection of language, wait for the display to say `no disk`. This may or may not happen, but the following step will definitely help...
Step 5: Press Setup, Repeat, 3, 8, 7, 6, 7, followed by 9 for region free or your desired region number.
Let me know if this alternative method works for you.
Yes, but may not work on models based in the Netherlands.
Alternative method confirmed for SV-DVD1E.

If what Wonder says doesn`t work, try pressing SUBTITLE on its own, without REPEAT or SETUP, and follow the rest of Wonders instructions.

i would just like to say a big thank you for all the help
many thanks johnboy

Wonder,
I am residing in the USA. I bought a Samsung DVD-1000 combo in the USA. I tried your process. It did work once and I had then a green screen with a choice of 6 languages. This screen only stayed 5 seconds and I failed to answer before. Since I have tried to get this screen back without success. I would like to get a clue on how to get it back.
In the mean time, I unplugged the DVD hoping that some memory will be zeroed.
Regards,
Ludovic

reapply the cold start as this sets the machine back to default settings(well does on uk machines)

hope this helps

Wonder,
I reapplied the cold start as I describe in the following text (In a thread I posted ealier:
"Help !!!
I am residing in the USA. I bought there a Samsung DVD-1000.
As my European parents sent me a couple of zone 2 DVD`s, I bought a HIT305 chip from CCnow and installed it to no avail.
After, I tried the process described for DVD-1E. It did work by pressing both FF>> and FR<< once I had the Samsung DVD welcome screen. After this I had another screen with a choice of 6 languages. I typed 1 for English and all I got in return was a black screen and a player which went itself powered off, then refusing to play. OOPS!
I could come back to normal status by applying the end of the DVD-1 process, i.e. Open on the reader and Power/Standby on the remote.
I can reproduce this at will, while it is not effficient.
Has anybody a clue for successfully bridging the gap between the beginning and the end of a hack for the Samsung DVD-1000 ???
Your suggestions are more than welcome,
Ludovic"
