If any one has this player it was confirmed changing the 4th byte to a 2:
Quote's from AVS thread post:
| Quote: | I did some more testing. It seems like byte 4 is controlling region. Bytes 1 and 2 doesn't seem to affect behavior. I changed byte 4 to 02, and now I can play both region 1 and region 2 DVDs. Region 1 outputs 1080i/59.95 and region 2 outputs 1080i/50.00, so that's good.
You need to reboot the player after changing to a DVD from a different region; there is some boot-up logic that decides which framerate to use.
This is my EEPROM: 55 53 00 02 00 05 00 40
In this setting, the 480i/p settings are removed from the setup menu and replaced with 576i/p settings. However, I still managed get the player to output 480p by booting it with a region 1 DVD.
Not sure how Bluray playback is affected by these settings. I don't have any non-US BD. |
| Quote: | I doubt these settings alter the BD Region code. I bet that is held elsewhere.
So to confirm, with it set to 55 53 00 02 00 05 00 40, you can now play? -
1. Region 1 SD DVDs
2. Region 2 SD DVDs
3. NTSC SD DVDs
4. PAL SD DVDs
And don't have to alter it again, once set?
If so that's excellent. Thanks again. |
the only thing is you need to turn off player with the next region disc in it when it starts up and it will change back and forth depending on disc being played from start up or last disc played.

did you guys know you can rip hd-dvds to PC and burn to a bd-r bd disc and playback on the LG?, it recognizes it as a hd-dvd structure even though it is on a bd-r, so for those than want to dump their hd-dvd collection and keep trucking with bd might be interested in that, only works on the LG
would love to get a hd-sdi mod done on one of these so we can get a 4:2:2 output, as far as I know the unit only does RGB via HDMI

Gary why would you want to dump a hd dvd disk when you own a combo player ? Even more odd would be to physically have the hd-dvd disk then rip and burn to an overpriced bd-rbd disk all to just playback on the same player.
I must be missing something !

Not sure if this is true or not but i heard that BD is more durable than HD-DVDs (burned ones). not sure
though.

Athan made one point, another is that you can dump the hd-dvd collection that has came to a end and still have the movies 
bd-r's will be 3$ soon 
a LG bd/hd combo reader/bd 4x writer is under 200$ now

I see you guys.
I would bet a penny that a hd dvd ripped, then burned to BD disk is NOT better or more durable than the original HD-DVDs ! and you would be hard pressed to sell them used for more than you can Buy Raw Bd disks and cases .
I think it would make more sense to just paint the hd-dvds blu than go through all that trouble . 
Ripping them from a buddy is different .
