The sales dude offered a ‘region-free’ version of the player for a €30 premium and added that the usual ‘punch in some numbers on the remote’ hack absolutely didn’t work with this player (Harman/Kardon DVD23). It was only possible with a special CD from the manufacturer which contained a firmware upgrade. Bullshit of course! I declined. As soon as I got home I googled a bit and sure enough:

  1. Switch The Player On
  2. Make Sure Disk Tray is Empty
  3. Push The “OSD” key
  4. Select “Set-up”
  5. Enter Code “3141590″ (last digit is region, 0 = region-free)
  6. Display Returns To Normal

After that I tested it with a region 1 Terminator 2 DVD, worked flawlessly!
