LG DV392H Region Free

Friday, 3 July 2009

Also today I decided to try out a new DVD player from CostCo. The LG DV392H for ¥6400.



It's quite a thin DVD player, it has video and HDMI out.



The silver in this picture is the previous DVD player for region 4 DVD's, this will be donated to the in-laws.

By default it was set to region 2, but after following the instructions listed on this page, I was able to play all of my Australian DVD's on it. The picture quality is quite good, though a little jerky in places. I will update after I turn off the "upscailing" feature.

I live in Tokyo and am looking for a good region-free player - do you know if the Japanese CostCo is still selling this model? And how is the player working out for you?

the last time I was there, 3 weeks ago, they still had it.

for some versions of DivX it plays a little slowly, otherwise it's a great cheap player.

Great, thanks! Now, if I can just find someone who has a membership there...

Found someone with a membership and bought one of these today! Which of the three options did you have to use to get it to be region free?

I downloaded a ROM file that you burn to a CS (not dvd), boot the cd and it will overwrite the region zone to zero.

Right now we are watching the wiggles as I type this reply.
