DVD Regions & Region Hacks Information

First of all, it's never a good idea to assume knowledge, so if you're wondering what this whole DVD Region/Multi-Region thing is, have a look at one of these sites - hopefully this'll clear things up for you:

Region Codes - DVD's Dirty Secret

DVD FAQ

If you're looking for a hack to make your DVD player multi-region/region-free, then try one of the sites listed below.

DVD Answers

DVD Reviewer

Video Help

DVD Region Free Codes

DVD Region Hacks

DVD Hacks

AV Forums DVD Handset Hacks

DVD365


If you can't find your model of DVD Player on at least one of these sites, then chances are it can't be made multi-region without a special chip being placed in it - given the low prices of easily-modifiable or pre-modified DVD players today, it's quite possible that it could be more economical to buy a new player, rather than have an existing one chipped (unless it's a really expensive model). Panasonic and Toshiba (and most of the big electronics firms) players in particular are notoriously difficult or impossible to make region-free without a chip.

For chips and remote controls which can remove the region-lock on your player, have a look at these sites:

Multi-Region.co.uk

DVD Chips

I hope that you find this post useful.

After much web searching I can find no reference to this model number, which suggests to me it doesn't exist - is your customer certain they have the make and model correct?

Think i came to the same conclusion - i could see a proline 1000 or 2000 - personally i had never heard of proline. But they dont seem very keyed up on technology to be honest so theyve probably made a mistake.

Thanks for having a look though

Proline is Comet's own-brand electrical product, Steve.

Likewise I could only find a DVD1000 and a DVD2000 - no DVD1400.
