If any one can help with a code to change the region on an AWA W991 DVD Player, I would be most grateful. I have looked in quite a few places and have found the W992 but no code was available. I believe the W990 has a code but can't find it and am not sure if it would work on the W991.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks

If there is a code (many players do NOT), it should be here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/232568-DVD-Hacks-List-FAQ-%28region-free-macrovisio...free-others%29

Thanks Krispy Kritter. No help in that list. The unit might be too old.
I'll just have to invest in a new DVD Player! One that will play British DVD's.
Thanks again. annieh -
Age shouldn't matter. If it's not in that list, it likely doesn't have a code. As noted, most players cannot be "unlocked".
And I agree, if you want/need region 2 support, ensure you buy a player which supports it and don't rely on a code.Google is your Friend -
Did a web search and hopefully found the correct DVD player you have.
I found AWA user manuals in pdf format at this link:
http://ernie.awa.com.au/AWA-Telefix-AWA-Branded-Products/default.aspx?retain=true&pg=2
I looked at the pdf manual for the W991 and saw a little pop-up note displaying instructions to unlock:
Open Tray
Press Up Button
Press Down Button
Press Left Button
Press Right Button
Press "0"
Close Tray
Can't guarantee this will work, since I don't have this player in Canada. You do this at your own risk.
If that doesn't work, check this forum for the AWA W990 region change. Read posts 3 and 5.

Thanks everyone for your guidance!
Unfortunately em-t-wallitt that little exercise for the W991 didn't work
I might just give the others a go tomorrow...nothing to loose really!
The TV has been very good but I think on its last legs...got the dreaded red spot up in the corner. I don't really want to give up the DVD/Video unit as we do have a number of videos but I'm sure it can be connected to a new TV and the new ones mostly seem to have Region Free DVD players built in.
I shall let you know how I go tomorrow. For now, it's very late. Good night all!

Back again and just letting you know that I tried the first hack for the W990...and it worked!!
Only trouble is, it's not a permanent fix and you have to go back and change it to a different Region if required.
But, that's OK. Mostly we watch only one region and it does only take a few seconds to change it over.
Thank you! Thank you!
It's made me very happy!
