Also saw a 'press 2 and then power on' - but if the player is off, how will it receive inputs? Didn't work anyway.

You can now put the disc in the tray and then close the tray.ДЄlso saw mention of 'putting player into standby + disable 'quick launch /power off' - none of those are options on the player. Once the tray is completely open and not moving, press a button on the remote to select regions. I then found these instructions elsewhere online:Дў.

Is there something I'm missing? Should the Area Code be changed? This is driving me batty, and I'm just annoyed that my family threw away the instruction manual without ever thinking it might be important. By the sounds of it, I should just press one of the colored buttons when the player is off, and that will turn it on with the correct region - but that is not happening here. None of the colored buttons do anything to turn the player on. I am unable to start (turn on) the player with any but the following three buttons: power, open/close (disc tray), play button (also can't turn the player on with any of those three buttons if I'm holding another button as well). TV screen has LG logo + has a pink loading bar go across the screen (sometimes this happens twice)Д«rings me to the player's Home Menu screen Screen on front of player quickly displays the text 'Hello' Here's the order of operations the player goes through:Дisc is already in the player (I've also tried this without a disc) Thanks everybody for assuring me that its not my fault, but I still can't get it to play a Region B disc.ДЇor reference, my remote has the following colors at the bottom (in this order): Its just weird, and I'm not sure why this is being such a pain! Anybody have any input? There's no other setting anywhere that looks like it could have any impact (lest I want to set it back to factory settings). There's an 'area code' section on the menu, that some online reports indicated changing it to 'GB/FR/DE/ etc' -but none of those do anything. Just checked - Region 2 DVDs do indeed work without changing anything + Region 1/A DVDs/Blus work. Did my family somehow un-enable region free capability? Wanting to check with others who own this to make sure it isn't a code one has to type in (akin to the Sherwood) - before I contact Bombay. Bombay Electronics indicates that it should be fine through any firmware update, so I have no idea what could've happened to cause this issue. The only issue: I can't get it to play any region B blurays! I was under the impression that it didn't require any codes or one didn't have to change anything in order to get other region discs to play. Then I realized that my family never uses any Region B/2 discs, so I offered to trade them my working Region A blu player in exchange for the 'hardware-unlocked LG BD630' that I bought them as a gift from Bombay Electronics. So, my Sherwood finally died a while ago, and I've just gone without any region-free capability for about a year or so. Fortunately I never had those kinds.)ДЄfter all the bad press on the Insignia players and my fears over what firmware a new sherwood would have, I bought the LG that you linked - as a gift for my family.

(Some of the older (different/more complicated) mods used to have issues where you (or maybe it was actually someone else) would have to update the mod's firmware sometimes when the player's firmware was updated, but those were different animals, probably extinct by now.

No difference regarding there being any firmware upgrade etc risks either, never had a problem or heard of any (with the mods out there I've seen recently). But why bother going through all that when you can just stick it on the back in a couple minutes.

My external mod can also be installed internally, so you'd never know the difference between the two, they behave the same.

#Toshiba region free blu ray player install

Fairly simple to install it yourself if you want to open the player up, really really simple if you install it externally instead, but either way they, or you, are not actually changing any of the player's original hardware. Usually all they do is just stick in (add to the player) one of the same hardware mod kits you could buy elsewhere yourself (pretty cheaply).
