About

Many low to mid-range DVD players have secret menus or “back doors”, these methods can let you change things such as:

• The current region setting on your particular model (In most cases this is were the Region Free setting can be set)
• Switch between PAL and NTSC
• Modify the Macrovision setting
• Enable VCD and sometimes MP3 playback

Access to these secret menus normally requires the user to enter a sequence via the remote control, codes for particular players can be found all over the net on both free or a “paid for” basis. Other methods can include updating the units software or using a programmable remote control.
