Author Topic: Buying a non-region 1 player? Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-06-2003 11:32 PM                     Anyone know if there is a way to make a Pioneer DVD-V7400 region free? It is an industrial player but it is region 1 (and proud of it if you look at all the times the region 1 is posted on it). For what its worth...we sell a professional region free player the Marantz Pro PMD-930. It is industrial rated with a 45000 Hour MBF on the mechanism....then again its output is 480I (not progressive..in the pro world it is kinda moot since either the monitor/projector or the scaler/switcher will make it progressive)...it does have RGBS out in addition to the more familiar DVD video outputs.

It took a little adjusting of the color and such of the plasma display, and a little setup of the dvd player itself beyond the region "adjusting" that I did. But it really looks nice now. That PAL picture output seems much sharper than NTSC, or maybe it's just the player or adjustments that I made to the display. Anyway.... Ha-Ha I can play other region disks now. Anyone know if Twin Peaks Season two is out anywhere yet?  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 09-22-2003 05:43 AM                        http://www.aardvark.co.nz/daily/2002/mizuda.shtml this is a DVD player I had to get as my Pioneer 505 would not play CD-R discs , it,s cool easy to set up and auto plays any region without fiddling around . The unit is now selling at $129.00 NZD Edit = "Twinn Peaks" Season 1 is now available in NZ , have not seen season 2 as yet. http://www.dvdshopnz.co.nz/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=D&Product_Code=1613&Category_Code=TVS  |  IP: Logged Liam Utley Film Handler Posts: 42 From: Australia Registered: Oct 2003 posted 12-11-2003 09:44 PM                    I have a cheap "nintaus" dvd player that i hacked with a code off the internet to be region free. It has a built in DD/DTS decoder and any audio/video output you would want. Living in Australia, most of my dvd's are region 4, however i have a few region 1 dvd's. Both my TV and DVD player are PAL/NTSC compatible, and i have had no problems playing any disc from any region. I believe that most region-specific dvd players can be modified to be region free by simply entering a security code. I have done this on 4 different brands of dvd players and it has worked every time.  |  IP: Logged
