DVP5140 Unlock

Some of the things we want to watch are... region 2 *only*. Grr!

Here's a cheap DVD player ($41 at Amazon - and with Amazon Prime, it was delivered free!), that can play discs from any region. It also can play PAL movies on my NTSC tv. The DVD player *is* cheap - the remote is a peice of crap, and the surround sound output is coax only, no optical. But, it does seem to work, and for the price it was worth a gamble for me.

To make it region code free follow these instruction:


  • 1. Turn on the unit
  • 2. Open the loading tray
  • 3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
  • 4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
  • 5. Press the down arrow once to enter the Preference page
  • 5. Enter 138931 on the remote
  • 6. You will now see the current region code displayed
  • 7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
  • 8. Press the "Play" button on the remote
