4. Press "open/close"
Done!

Note: On step 3. you can enter 0, 1, 2, 3,etc. for different region, but 0 is best because it is region free.


Cant make heads or tails of this.

dvd players have certain regins programed on them to allow them to view dvds, north america is one, europe is another, japan, etc. This apparently lets you tell the dvd player to play all regions, rather than just the one your dvd player is programmed for. Pretty cool, if you buy foreign dvds.
