Changing region code to all on a LG DV550 DVD player?

I am unable to locate the specific code for this unit, but each maker frequently uses a single code for all of their models. Here is a setup that works on a bunch of LG models, but not specifically yours:

If the remote controls more than the DVD player, select DVD on the remote
Remove discs from unit, so 'No Disc' appears
Press Pause/Step and 314159
The display will show 'Code' or 'FF'. If not, Press Pause/Step, Enter and then 314159.
Press 0 for all regions
Press the Pause/Step button again
Turn unit off with Power button. Power on again after 30 seconds and the machine will be set to the selected region.

1. Switch off the DVD player in to Stand By mode
2. Open the DVD tray using the remote control
3. Press "pause" in the remote
4. Enter 0, 0, 0, 0 (zero 4 times)
5. The display should indicate the regional code set in the DVD and prompts for the new regional code.
6. Enter the new regional code
7. Press Pause to exit the setup
8. Switch off the DVD using the remote and wait for a while before switching it on again.

1. Press the Open button on your remote control to open the drive tray 2. Press the Pause button on your remote control 3. Press the 0 button on your remote control 4. Press the 0 button on your remote control 5. Press the 0 button on your remote control 6. Press the 0 button on your remote control 7. The onscreen display should now prompt you for a new region 8. Press the 1 button on your remote control for region 1, the 2 button for region 2, and so on, or the 0button for multi-region playback 9. Press the Pause button on your remote control 10. Power off your DVD player 11. Power on your DVD player

" No Disk on Display"

Press Pause on remote then enter 314159

"Display Code"

Enter 0

Press Pause on remote

Enjoy!

Howdy,

I just tried this on LGV774W and it worked :))

To make this player region free (or change the region), do the following:

* Ensure that there is no disc in the player (ie: "no disc" is displayed).
* Press PAUSE
* Enter 314159
* Enter the region code (0 for region free, or 1-6).
* Press PAUSE
* Turn the player off for a few seconds.
* Turn the player back on
* Voila! You beauty!!

I did this on my LG HT903WA, and it worked like a charm:

1) Power on player [with no disc in tray]
2) Using your remote control, press PAUSE
3) Key in 314159
4) Pre-set region code will be displayed
5) For multi-region, select 0
6) This will change to 00
6) Press PAUSE
7) Power off player at the electricity point
8) Wait a minute or two, then turn everything back on.

Good luck.
