Page 1 of Aiwa xd dv480 hack?

I bought an Aiwa xd dv480 the other day in Amsterdam, and tried to get it region free, following instructions listed elsewhere in this forum:
1 CONNECT PLAYER
2 WITH REMOTE TURN POWER ON
3 WAIT UNTIL NO DISC APPEARS
4 PRESS PAUSE ON REMOTE AND ENTER: 342292: HOWEVER AT THIS POINT "CODE" DOES NOT APPEAR, SO I CANNOT GO FURTHER!
HAS ANYONE A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM?

I don`t think there`s a hack for this one, you have to get it chipped. I bought mine already chipped in Richer Sounds for £200. Plays all regions automatically & even the RCD discs too!
Check earlier in this forum for chipping websites. Good luck!

got the hack for the aiwa xd dv480 from the reviewer listings but still had picture in black & white tried eveything but no solutions!!! but waited for the machine to turn itself off and instantly pressed the power on button on the front panel and vioala!!! plays in colour and plays vcd`s, even when turned off at power and back on again, but I cannot explain why!!!I it could have been a different disc for all I know!!

please could u let me know which hack u used.thanks in advance

Please, Please, Please can you give me the idiots guide as to how you hacked this machine as I am tearing my hair out trying to solve this problem?
