Hi, after many days and lots of different tries to find a multiregion hack for this recorder, I finally found a way that works.

- Go to this site: http://lgregionfree.tripod.com/2005/menu1.htm

- Click on the 5000 DVD Player and download the zip file "5000.zip"

- Unzip the folders and files to the hard drive in exactly the same order as they are in the zip.

- Burn the folder "RMTM0000" (including sub files and/or folders) to a blank CDR, naming the CDR "CODEFREE"

- Make sure you record the disc as Disk At Once (DAO) and as a closed (once only) session.

- Make sure you burn the disc in Joliet mode (not ISO)

- Insert the disc into the player (with the player in DVD mode, and Input set to "AV1"). It won't play, but the disc icon in the left hand upper corner will read "DATA". Next, press the "Home" key on the remote. Scroll to the Movie icon, then down to disc. Hit the "Enter" key on the remote. After about 10 seconds, a Region Select menu will come up. Press "0" on the remote for multi-region. The screen will go back to normal and you should be able to play any region.

Many thanks for posting the 5000.zip hack. I have just downloaded the file, burned a CD and successfully followed your instructions. My LG RH188S is now multi-region !

Hello Keith, my name is Roy jacobsen and i'm living in the Netherlands. i wanna ask you something, can you send me the program that you have downloaded from LGregionfree.tripod side. I ask you that because i can not get that program from that side, because it isn't there anymore. so that i can make my LG RH 188S regionfree.
My email adress. Roy.Joyce@hetnet.nl
