Re: DVD2 Multiregion fix

Hope that will work for you Peter. When I asked my local dealer to fix my (then) brand new DVD2 he said they couldn't do this.

Instead, he referred me to an outside company that was prepared to do it but was going to charge 125 GBP for it... I kindly turned down that offer, did an internet search on the methodology, and - after some experimentation with different remote controls - managed to get it to work, never had any problem since.

Best of luck and let me know if I can help in any way.

Kind regards, Eric

Thanks Eric and Large48,

I tried this on my DVD2 but it didn't work.......

DVD1's need to follow a procedure that sometimes works first time and sometimes take for ever.........

Mind you the last time I got one of my done, next time I came to use it it was knackered!!!!! :-(

Peter,

I know it can be done, but am unsure whether this can be done by the user, or whether it requires a special DVD or CD disk to do the job.

When I bought mine new in (I think) 2003 or 2004, I purchased it on the condition that it had to be region free. It was.

Good luck, Eric

Is there a similar way to make also the DVD1 region free?

Thanks again for the advice.

I've got my preowned DVD2 yesterday.

Just a quick question: Does it work with non B&O TV?

Thanks and best regards,
Alexander

It worked for me, and I did not experience any drawbacks whatsoever. So far, all of our DVD's play fine on this machine.

From memory, I think I had to try different remote controls (Beo4, Beoling 1000, Beolink 7000) before I found one that did the job. I do not remember which one ultimately worked.

Good luck and perhaps you can share your experience also!

Hi all,

There is written on BeoWorld product page
http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=1241
how to make DVD2 multi region.

My questions are:

- Does anyone actually try that? Does it work?
- Are there any drawbacks of that process?

Thanks for any thoughts, all the best,
Alexander
