Morning all

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I can not find anything recently that covers this, so here goes.

I am looking for a Blu Ray player that meets a couple of specifications. First is, it needs to be region free for both Blu Ray and DVD, and second (and not so important as I can work around this) is it would be good if it has a composite connection as well as HDMI as the TV I plan to connect it to does not have HDMI.

All advice gratefully received.

Cheers

Rob

Glassboy:

So you're saying that you some how stumbled across a code on the Internet that allowed you to physically alter the configuration of the laser in your DVD player. Sort of like assisted telekinesis.

Can you please post the links about the calibration issues, because I can't find any by googling.

I can't remember if they referred to calibration or something to do with how the device recognizes a disk from the NZ region as opposed to disks from other regions. It just started to take a really long time scanning a disk before accepting it, and for many disks it never recognized them at all. Trying to find the original tech tips site I got it from but it was a while ago.

I guess the reason I posted at all is, you should try to find some discussions where somebody confirms having applied the change to your particular model, with no complications. If you instead find people using words like "bricked" in reference to said tweaks, then proceed with caution ; )
