De-Zoning DVD player

I know that so many of you guys are very smart on all matters IT so thought that this might be the right place to ask first.

I have a Samsung HT-X30 surround sound system and today I received a zone 4 (Australian) DVD set. I live in the UK (zone 2) and there are no instructions with my player on how to change the zones. Do any of you clever people know how to do this please?

Thanks in anticipation.

WARNING: ATTEMPT AT YOUR OWN RISK

This has worked for some people, and for others seems to have locked their device to Region 1 (USA). If you run into trouble, you *should* be able to force a reset by holding down the Stop button on the front panel until "Initial" is displayed, then holding it down again until the standby light flashes, then turning the device off and on. I don't own one of these myself and haven't tested it, so please don't blame me if you end up with an expensive doorstop.


The technique for unlocking:

1. Remove any discs, and close the tray.
   
2. Physically unplug the player (don't just turn it off).
   
3. Leave it unplugged for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
   
4. Use the remote control to turn the player on. Wait for the player to finish initializing and for it to display 'No Disc'.
   
5. Press Enter on the remote control. (There will be no response on the screen.)
   
6. Press 8 4 2 6 9 on the remote. (There will still be no response on the screen)
   
7. Press Enter on the remote. If you have done everything right, the player should automatically turn itself off.
   
8. Turn the player back on
   
9. Open the tray, then close it again (leave the tray empty)
   
10. Turn the player off then on again.
    

In theory, your system is now region-free. Some people have reported success, some people have reported suddenly being unable to play anything, and others reported that it seemed to work for 5 discs or so, then locked again.

If it fails, try the reset.

I hope this 'll work

1, Make sure that there is no disk in tray and switch on the unit.
2, Cold restart the player by pressing and hold PLAY / STOP buttons at same time for a few seconds. Release buttons.
3, Now you should see a set of language options, select your language.
4, Enter this code with remote: 57538, a number appear i top left corner indicating curent region setting.
5, Press 9 for region-free (or 1 for region one, 2 for region two and so on).
6, Press OPEN/CLOSE button on PLAYER UNIT to open tray.
7, Press STANDBY/POWER on the REMOTE CONTROL to close the tray and shut down.
8, Next time player is turned on it will be set to the new region specified.

If the above does not work ,try this.
Press 'repeat'on the remote control.Next type in one of the following codes to select a region. Region 1: 2,9,3,3,and 4
Region 2: 3,8,7,6,and 7
Region 3: 5,6,7,3,and 2
Region 4: 7,6,8,8 and 4
Region 5: 5,3,8,1 and 4
Region 6: 2,4,4,6 and 2
Having entered one of these codes in,a code should be displayed on the screen indicating the current region of the player .To enable region free press '9' on your controller or '1' for region 1, or 2 for region 2 etc Finally press the 'open' button on your player and press the 'standby' button on your remote control.Your Samsung should now be configured to play all regions.
