Converting yout BluRay device to Region Free

You want to see a 3D bluray sexy movie you borrowed from your friend in your bluray player? However, the bluray player suddenly shows you a message that "Your DVD is out of region"...

Do not cry, there is a solution to it.

I recently bought a Samsung BD-D5500 bluray player in Saudi Arabia with indicated Region of 2 and a letter B. I know very well that it will not work in the Philippines because of the region concern, but since I just want to watch youtube, so the player is ok. I am not thinking of sending the item to Philippines even if my package is still accepting those kinds of stuff.

Googling the intenet, I found a very good information about BluRay and the regions. See below on the BluRay/DVD regions where you are located. Buying a bluray from China assures you that it is a Region Free, meaning all BluRay and DVD will play fine.

Here are some information for the regions:


According to the map above, Saudi Arabia and Africa are Region B for the bluray. While Philippines is a Region A. This means that a Bluray brought from US can be played by the bluray player bought in the Philippines. However, even of bluray disk will play, there is a chance that your DVD collections of erotic movies from US will not play because it is DVD Region 1 while Philippines is using DVD Region 3.

Since i bought the unit with Bluray region B and DVD region 2, and I need to play the mouth watering bluray of my friend, then I have to fixed my player to be region free.

Here's how you can make your Blu ray player to be region free. I took this tip from http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/samsung-bd-e5500/11837:

-----------------------------------------------

Do this tip if you are going to change the bluray player (to Region free) bought in Saudi Arabia.
  1. Remove any disk in the tray of the bluray player and ensure that the TV is on, and connected to the player.
  2. Switch the player off and then back on. 
  3. Wait for the main menu on the TV screen 
  4. In your remote, press the eject button to open the tray. 
  5. Press the eject button to close the tray. 
  6. As soon as the "No Disk" message appears at the top right corner do the following. 
  7. Press the REPEAT button (located just above the TV program button at the bottom of the remote)
  8. Enter 57538 on the number pad.
  9. The region code "2" should appear at the top right corner of the screen. (this appears in less than a second.) 
  10. Press "9" right away if 2 is shown. (Note: if you press 9 after 2 disappear, then you have to repeat again from step 4). You will that it will display 9 after.
  11. Restart the player 
  12. Play a foreign DVD to check. 
------------------------------------------

Note:
The button "REPEAT" sometimes not in your remote. Try to use "STOP", or "RETURN" from your player remote control.

Only a handful made it on the first try. It took me about 20 tries, to figure out what is wrong with what I am doing.

As a tip, familiarize yourself with the steps from 4 to 10. Do the steps in succession without pause.
