    How often can you change the region code setting on a DVD player? Will it lock at any point? I tried helping a friend with one of the hack codes on this site and she forgot one step, so we tried again and nothing happened. It's a Samsung P181. Any help or answer is much appreciated. Thanks.

    I am not aware of their being a limit on changes to stand-alone players. They aren't like laptop and computer drives, that do have a very limited number of changes.

    I would suggest that you power off and disconnect the player overnight, then try again.

    With hacked firmware that works properly it doesnt matter,if you borked your firmware update then you gotta try and use the original firmware to restore it cause it sounds like the hacked firmware you used doesnt work.

    I don't read the OP as having used hacked firmware, but simply using the remote codes that allow you to change the region codes. It is a common method on Samsung players, and should not damage the firmware in anyway, but could require a complete power down to restore full functionality.

    About Samsung P181: I also tried everything listed in the Interet to make this device multi zone, but all in vain. Player does not even display any numbers on a TV screen. It does not reacts at all for any attempt to enter multi zoning procedure from a remote control. But discs of it's zone it plays perfectly. Can anybody give any advice? Player was purchased in January 2009. Thanks.
    Good Luck to everyone!

    At this time it seems that no Samsung DVD player currently being made can be made a multi region player.
