I have tried the 3 suggested hacks to make my recorder accept Region One disks (it's Region 2 at the moment). The hacks don't work, so something is missing off the hack instructions. I managed to convert my Daewoo player without a problem, but this Samsung recorder simply won't let me into its menu sufficiently to allow me to get at its region code. Region coding is in my view unlawful and a restrictive practice which should be outlawed (and probably is in the EEC).
