You sure you're not watching Black and White movies? :D Try another TV and see if that helps. Also check the settings of your DVD player if they are set properly. NTSC/PAL setting may make a difference. Sorry I'm unable to help you further.

Hi, thanks for the instructions, it worked on my Samsung C450!!!

Of course it is better than nothing at all, but still... Thanks again!

To automatically connect to a saved ad-hoc network during Windows boot (can be applied to both guest and host computers running Windows 7)

Hi I have a Samsung C350XAA dvd region-free player. It works fine, but with a dvd-r downloaded in Europe, the content displays on the screen without responding to the enter button. How can I make this play? Various attempts at creating a firmware update cd-r have been unsuccessful, and recently viewed comments make me wonder if using such is, in fact, advisable. I use the player for PAL discs and newer NTSC ones that the older player will not accept. Thanks for your suggestions.

I was seconds away from throwing my laptop out the window trying to figure out why some grouped Word elements in Word 2010 could not be ungrouped. Changing the Text Position to anything other than In Line with Text solved my issue. However, it's a total nightmare having to switch between the two modes.

Thanks for sharing this particular nuance of Word.

Hi ADTC, I noticed Aaron was commenting on my PAL/...

2011-05-26T13:39:50.024+05:30

Hi ADTC, I noticed Aaron was commenting on my PAL/NTSC part of the instructions for H1080R. I just want a chance to explain. When you set the grid to a specific region by default the player will output to that country's specific field rate (NTSC = 60hz, PAL = 50hz). So if you use the the Region 2=PAL method, you can play DVDs' from any region but using PAL field rate unless you change it through player settings menu.

Now what if you have an NTSC HDTV and using region 2 method? You won't see anything through HDMI after successfully changing from Region 1 to Region 2 because the player will output PAL field rate but your TV HDMI input was meant for NTSC field rate.

Next question is why won't it show an image through HDMI? Simple because your HDTV w/HDMI is just like a computer monitor screen, if you set it to the wrong refresh rate/hz or screen resolution it will be blank/black screen. Unless your TV is freaky.

So why use the RCA cable to output PAL field rate to NTSC RCA input? because RCA is more forgiving and will take anything is thrown at it even if it doesn't look right. This will give you a chance to accessed the player settings to: revert back, or change it to output NTSC, or completed the region free procedure and then change to NTSC.

So if I complete the region 2 method to use on my NTSC TV, what does that make it? This means you have a region 2 player that can play any region DVD set to output NTSC field rate. highly customized!

So Anon, how do I avoid all the hassle? Just do the region 3 method. Region 3 is NTSC, so you don't have to do all the additional stuff.

It worked!!! Thank you so much!!

2011-04-30T10:18:20.314+05:30

I can also confirm that a Samsung H1080R (Region 1) bought in the US can be Multi Region.

I used the third post above, second portion. I turned it to Region 2 first, then to Multi Region. Everything seems to be working on my NTFC tv.

On a side mode instead of upgrading the firmware I downgraded, it was too late when I noticed that I was downgrading before I could stop it. Now I wonder theres a way to do a factory restore, anyone know or has been succesful doing so?

2011-04-20T13:29:41.243+05:30

I looked a bit into the issue, and it looks like calling HDMI signals to be PAL or NTSC to be mostly meaningless, but still your player must be able to read PAL signals and convert them to HDMI digital signals with PAL features. And your TV should be able to process this HDMI digital signal that is imitating PAL signals.

See: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/25316-4-hdmi-ntsc-flavours

I think what the other commentator means is that the Samsung player is not able to convert PAL to HDMI but I believe he is mistaken as a modern player should be able to do this simple task. You may want to Google this up a bit more for more knowledge and to check if anyone else with the player you want has reported this problem.

2011-04-20T13:06:40.898+05:30

^^^ Thanks so much for the info. I will try it if i do decide to go with the Samsung H1080R.

Im confused about the second portion. With connecting RCA instead of HDMI because it doesnt output PAL.

That was the sole purpose of me purchasing the Samsung H1080R player from the USA (Region 1). Was to view Region 2 DVDs which come in PAL in upconverted 1080p video using HDMI.

But if I cant do that, I might as well go with another player that can do that. So HDMI wont output PAL? Does that apply on this player or any player?

Samsung DVD-H1080R

Hi ADTC, I found this here actually. You were the one that released your region 3 grid number, and I tried the the list of unlock sequence on the top of this page.

The way to do it is:
1.Access Region Grid: turn on your player without any CD/DVD in tray, wait for screen to display 'no disk', Press the following in sequence on the remote - repeat (without A-B), fast rewind, next chapter, fast forward, previous chapter, play

2. Change Region: Input the region 3 code - 2,3,4,5,7,8,10,19,21,22 and press play to save. Restart player if it doesn't restart. I would try to double check that player is still in Region 3 by accessing grid again.

3. Change Region 3 to Multi Region: turn on your player without any CD/DVD in tray, wait for screen to display 'no disk', Input the following sequence on the remote - Repeat (without A-B), Fast Rewind, Play, Down, Down, Right.

4. The top right corner should show a number 0 which is an indicator that it's REGION FREE.

--------------------------------------------
Notes: I found out that after I turned it to multi region, I can not redo and make the number 0 to come back out again. So multi region is a one time deal.

The other thing that I found out, but probably never noticed, was that in the player settings (menu > Display Setup Page > TV System) you have the option to chose: NTSC or PAL. If 'TV System' is an option on all Samsung DVD-H1080R settings menu then it would be alright to unlock it using another region. That means theoretically people with NTSC TV can do it using the Region 2 way:

1. connect your Region 1 H1080R to TV using RCA cable (HDMI can not output PAL in any way, that's why you got to use RCA)

2. turn on your player without any CD/DVD in tray, wait for screen to display 'no disk', Press the following in sequence on the remote - repeat (without A-B), fast rewind, next chapter, fast forward, previous chapter, play

3. Input Region 2 code: 2,7,9,10,19,21, press play to save.

4. After restarting the player the screen will be in gray color. Access player settings (menu > Display Setup Page > TV System) in 'TV System' change PAL to NTSC, then your screen should be back to normal. If 'TV System' is not an option. You should stop and put your Region Grid Back to its original numbers. If everything is fine then proceed.

5. Change Region 2 to Multi Region: turn on your player without any CD/DVD in tray, wait for screen to display 'no disk', Input the following sequence on the remote - Repeat (without A-B), Fast Forward, Fast Rewind, Fast Forward, Up, Down.

6. The top right corner should show a number 0 which is an indicator that it's REGION FREE.

---------------------------------
Region Grid number list for DVD-H1080R

R1 - 3,7,9,19,21 (VERIFIED)
R2 - 2,7,9,10,19,21 (VERIFIED)
R3 - 2,3,4,5,7,8,10,19,21,22 (VERIFIED)
R4 - 1,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,13,15,19,21 (NOT VERIFIED)
...I Dont know R5-R8
-----------------------------------------
Updating Firmware...I did this long before I made the player Region Free. Don't know if this was a key ingredient. Oh well.

1. Download firmware for your player from Samsung.com's Download Center. If you don't know your model number, please look on the bottom of your player.

2. Rename file to H1080A.BIN (it has to exactly like this)

3. copy file to empty thumb drive.

4. Insert thumb drive in USB port behind H1080R player.

5. Turn on the player and the rest is history.
---------------------------
If anyone find that this works for them too then please reply here.

Yes please post it up. Im thinking of getting the Samsung DVD-H1080R Upconverting DVD Player here in the USA.

But I dont see any succesful codes from getting the Region 1 player here to play Region 2 or Multi Region. The ones Ive seen posted are all Region 2 players to Multi Region.

2011-03-11T22:22:36.412+05:30

You're supposed to get a table full of numbers and highlight/unhighlight them. But there could be a million combinations of the highlighted numbers, it's hard to test what each one does.

You should look for other ways to unlock your player. You could try the method on my blog post, but there is no guarantee that it will work for your player. Keep Googling!
