Denon DN-500BD MKII region/zone

[RlpBoy]

I bought this player because it is advertised as "it will play virtually every Blu-ray, DVD, and audio CD format" and surprise! it doesn't play my zone B blu-rays. There is no mention of zones not in the player nor in the manual. I've realized that at least it plays region 2 and 1 DVDs. I called technical support and they say there is no workaround to make it multi zone. Anyone familiar with this player? Thanks.

there are region hacks for denon dvd players - https://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks?dvdplayer=Denon+DN&hits=50&Search=Search
so you might try them to see if they'll work on your player.

Thanks for the link. I have been able to get into Factory Mode just introducing clear-1-4-7 in the home menu. In the factory mode I’m able to choose DVD region with OK button but it doesn’t work for BD region. Anybody any idea?

most dvd players only have hacks for the dvd side of the player, the Blu-ray side is still locked.
if you want a truly region free dvd /Blu-ray player then get one from here - https://www.220-electronics.com/

Buy a different Bluray player - one that is actually multi-region ($$).
