Samsung BD-P1600 - Canadian version

[dave3jx]

Greetings all,

I bought two of these venerable Blu-Ray players recently. The one works very well. The other has problems. (I didn't pay much for either of them.)

My question is this: How do I know or find out what version the software is? I would assume one would have to know that in order to even consider mods.

These are both Canadian units, and I am playing with the idea of converting one to Region-free.

However, I need to get to the 1st step in the process.

Along with this, I would like to know if there is a way to get a player back to factory settings?

Thank you for your assistance.

Dave from Canada.

see the pdf user manual here - https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/BD-P1600/XAA/
page 57 system information.

to reset the unit back to factory default settings, hold the FF button on the front of the player for 5 seconds.
