Samsung DVD-HD850 Up-Converting Region Code Free High Quality DVD Player
A GOOD BUY BUT READ THIS FIRST !!!!
Searching for a DVD player that would play both PAL and NTSC disc's, I was amazed to find this one for less than twenty bucks. The unit arrived fast and actually worked for a few minutes. Then the machine stopped dead. I sent it back and had to absorb the extra $30 in return postage. However, the seller was fast and efficient in replacing it. It could easily have been a shipping issue.  <br /> <br />However, when the new one arrived, I leaped at the chance to play a PAL (UK) DVD. Well, the screen just said 'Wrong Region'. Upon reading the manual, I discovered this machine is actually built and sold as a REGION 1 (USA) player only! It clearly states that it will NOT play anything other than REGION 1 USA discs!!!! <br />BUT READ ON... <br /> <br />I sent a snappy letter back to seller, asking why it was sold as an 'all region' player. I was sent a code to punch into the remote control and PRESTO! Perfect machine plays all regions! <br /> <br />This code will work for yours too, though I do not know why seller didn't send this out first. However, you simply cannot buy a better DVD machine for less than the cost of the disc it is playing!!! <br /> <br />Here's the code you need: <br />OPEN THE DISC TRAY <br />Press 1 - 3 - 7 - 9 - 0 <br />CLOSE TRAY <br />It should be fine.
