Mix Master posted, May 13 2010, how to be able to play DVDs from any region for Samsung DVD C550. It does not work with my DVD Player (original region code 2). Can someone help me?

With no disc in the tray, turn the power on.
On the samsung screen it will say "no disc"

Grab the remote and press:

-repeat
-fast rewind
-next chapter
-fast forward
-previous chapter
-play

A grid should appear on the screen with numbers in boxes, some highlighted, some not.
Using the arrow keys and the enter key, move around and turn off all the boxes except the one with a number 9 in it.
Press play to validate the changes. Your player will save and turn off. When you turn it back on, it should play DVDs from any region.

-Beware of this method because when I did it, no dvds would play including region 2. I forgot what boxes were highlighted so I couldn't get back to default. It has to been some sort of combination of numbers but I don't know. I too have just bought a region 2 player. Any help would be great even if it was the the default highlighted boxes.
