- Click on the 5000 DVD Player and download the zip file "5000.zip"
- Unzip the folders and files to the hard drive in exactly the same order as they are in the zip.
- Burn the folder "RMTM0000" (including sub files and/or folders) to a blank CDR, naming the CDR "CODEFREE"
- Make sure you record the disc as Disk At Once (DAO) and as a closed (once only) session.
- Make sure you burn the disc in Joliet mode (not ISO)
- Insert the disc into the player (with the player in DVD mode, and Input set to "AV1"). It won't play, but the disc icon in the left hand upper corner will read "DATA". Next, press the "Home" key on the remote. Scroll to the Movie icon, then down to disc. Hit the "Enter" key on the remote. After about 10 seconds, a Region Select menu will come up. Press "0" on the remote for multi-region. The screen will go back to normal and you should be able to play any region.
This means no more 'incorrect region code" messages...
Or, if that fails -
1 Press 'SETUP'
2 Scroll down to LOCK
3 Press '0' seven times
A message that confirms that the player is region free will appear on the screen!
