After extensive research of my own, the best advice I can offer is to sell it on e-bay and use the proceeds to buy something else.
I`m keeping mine because the picture and 5.1sound are flawless.
I`ve tried some of the media that is supposed to work eg White Label Samsung 8x and find that it doesn`t.
It could be that the multiregion firmware makes a bad situation worse.
