DVD Region Free Help...

[Almost Famous]

Hey,

I need a remote hack to unlock my DVD player on the TV in my bedroom, it's a Magnavox msd513e. I don't know any good places to look, so I'd assume it'd be safe to ask here. I've got a few PAL DVD's that I'd like to watch at night, but they won't play. I get a DISC ERROR message.

Try this one, not 100% it will work (it's listed for a number of OTHER Magnavox players)

1. Power up your dvd player, with no disc inserted.

2. Open the tray

3. With the remote, SLOWLY type 9, 9, 9, 9, 0

4. This should set it to region-free

Like I said - it's for a few other Magnavox players, but it may work with yours...?

No...doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for the help anyways. Anyone else got an idea?
