I've tried using the multi-region hack for the Samsung DVD-511 a few times and each time I've tried it I keep getting the same result, when I'm supposed to press repeat and enter the code for my player I don't get the "Region Code" menu like I'm supposed to, I've tried this several times, each time doing a cold start, can someone help me figure out why the code doesn't work. is it defunct? Or am I doing something wrong. I'm using this method:
http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayershack.php?select=Samsung%20DVD%20511
is something supposed to happen when I press repeat? because when I'm entering the code the numbers appear in the corner, and afterwards nothing happens. thanks for your help.

I'm not totally sure about this, but are you sure you're pressing the 'repeat' key and not the 'repeat a-b ' key? I seem to remeber an issue with that happening.
If I'm talking out of my arse, re-post your question on www.709online.com , cos they know what they're talking about when it comes to Samsung DVD players... -

My original player is one of those First Generation Philips Maganavox player that can't be hacked unless I have a PalmV unfortunately that's not an option for me either. Anywho thanks and if anyone knows how to hack a Philips Without the PalmV or modchipping LMK. later

What do you have to do with the Palm? If it's simply sending an IR code (like the Philips models), you could buy a One For All 6 (a lot cheaper) and program the function on.

However if you are in the US, you may not be able to watch PAL DVDs (ie Region 2) as your TV is more than likely NTSC-only compatible. Multi-standard TVs are quite common in Europe now, but less so in the US.
(that last bit was just in case, I don't want you wasting $30 and blamimg me -
Ah thanks that clears a lot up for me, (I'll give it a shot right now cause saw those and thought maybe that was the supposed "Magic" button since it was in the shape of a star. As for region 2 those are NTSC (at least last I checked allmy region 2 dvd's said NTSC on the back of their cases)

I don't know what sucks more, I feel like crying now, the damn remote doesn't work with my player. arrgh....

Hi again,
Well if you have Japanese Region 2 DVDs, I think those will be in NTSC. If you get them from Europe however, they'll be PAL.
Re the remote, does it have codes for any DVD Players at all? If so it should have code (0)573 listed, and that's the code for your Samsung. If not, does it operate Tuners? If so enter the code for an Aiwa Tuner, which should be (0)121. Then try pressing Magic (or whatever) once and releasing it, and then pressing 0-8-5 while pointing towards the DVD.
Good luck and let me know how you get on! -
