I think that particular remote is available only in Europe and India.

good news guys! i managed to unlock my player making it region free (applicable to dvds only)..using the supplied remote control without the "repeat" button..just follow the steps below and use the "STOP" button instead of the repeat..i did the steps three times before it worked..now i can enjoy my region 1s..woot! sweet!

here's what i did:

1. Power ON. No disc.
2. Press REPEAT button.
3. Press 7-6-8-8-4 (or your region code).
3. The current machines region code will display at the top left of the screen.
4. Press 9 to change to free region.

1- 29334
2- 57538
3- 56732
4- 76884
5- 53814
6- 24462

thanks this is awesome news!

Unfortunately, itdidn't work for me... Tried many times, ayaw lumabas ng region code.

@halvert
try this..open the disc tray then hold the "info" button for several seconds til the info about the player shows up..tingnan mo kung ano coding nung unit mo..mine's region A for bds and region 3 for dvds..then after that do the trick posted above..di naman necessarily mabilis ang pag pindot basta tama lang ang sequence..i did the trick 3x before it worked..

before the hack i tried playing the ff dvds:

incubus: alive at red rocks (region free) - ok
american gangster (jack sparrow) - ok
transformers (region 1) - did not play*
spiderman 1 (region 1) - did not play*

* this image was shown when trying to play region 1 dvds

then after doing the trick/hack di na lumalabas yung image at napeplay na ang region 1s ko..pero sa info region A and region 3 pa rin ang nakalagay..try and try lang baka sakaling gumana. meron rin kasi akong nabasa sa interwebs na they did try the trick like 10x before nag work..

hopefully meron din trick para ma region free ang bds..

3. The current machines region code will display at the top left of the screen.
4. Press 9 to change to free region.

tried this a over a 100x before as this had been circulating in the internet for some time now. no luck on my c5900.

however, it did the trick on my samsung dvd htz.

halvert · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 15, 2012 at 01:52 PM »

ayaw talaga gumana sa akin! i pressed info and it is Region A and region 3. but when i insert a region 1 dvd, that map doesn't appear. just the words "please check the region of your dvd" on a black screen. and no matter how many times i press stop and 56732, no region code appears on my tv.
dapat ba mag-firmware update ako para lumabas yung region code?
hayyyy...malas.

[dcw]aaron · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 15, 2012 at 07:19 PM »

Try to check daw your firmware..let's compare. Try ko post dito fw version ko when i get home..

halvert · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 16, 2012 at 10:10 PM »

i clicked on info and it says my firmware is BSP D5100XPB 1016.2 i have not updated it. oh well, napansin ko lang, di maganda yung ibang lumang dvds ko pag dito nakalagay... mas maganda sa ordinary dvd player na rca cable lang, not hdmi

I just used the remote included in the package & followed the procedures as posted in this thread. At first, it was a bit frustrating as the player's region coding was not appearing on the left-hand corner of the screen. But I just repeated the procedure several times before the region coding finally appeared & I was able to change it to region free for DVD.

Thanks. Did you pressed the Stop button right after the Power On button, or did you wait for the Samsung Logo to appear or until the Menu appears completely?

jas · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 20, 2012 at 08:12 AM »

^ I waited for the menu to appear completely.

At first, nothing seems to be happening. I tried to press the code 5-6-7-3-2 for region 3. I also tried the codes 7-6-8-8-4 & even 2-9-3-3-4, but the results were all unsuccessful. I tried these codes several times until about the 10th attempt at 5-6-7-3-2 before the region 3 coding finally appeared on the upper left hand corner. After this, I simply pressed 9 & the region coding was changed to 9. I tested my R1 DVDs & they are now playing fine.

Good to know that you also managed to make the codes work coz some are having a hard time eh. Patience is a virtue. Hehe!

For those who already upgraded to the latest FW, is it good? And do we need to do the region hack again for the unit to be region free on dvds again?

Can this BDP play AVCHD? Will the new firmware update enable playing of AVCHD? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I have an LG 32LV3400 HDTV would it work seamlessly if I pair it with this Samsung BD-D5100? I am planning to get one because it's more affordable compared to the other brands.

Thanks!

Yung mga nakapag region-free nung kanilang BD-D5100, may eject button ba yung remote controller nyo?

jas · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 11, 2012 at 05:14 PM »

^ Yes, my remote has the "eject" button.

[dcw]aaron · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 11, 2012 at 06:48 PM »

yep meron..

Philander · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 11, 2012 at 08:15 PM »

Some alternative to unlock region of the BD-D5100:

1. Make sure no disc or usb stick is inserted into the player.
2. Turn on your your blu ray player.
3. When the main menu appears, press the 'STOP' button (on the actual Blu
Ray Player and NOT on the remote control) followed by the region code your
player is currently locked to – depending on which country you are in (eg: in
Australia (use the remote control to press the numbers) " 7 6 8 8 4".
4. Press the 'STOP' button (on the actual Blu Ray Player and NOT on the
remote control
5. In the top right corner you will see your region code flash (eg: 4 for
Australia).
6. Press (using the remote control) 9. and momentarily you should see a small
9 flash, but on the top left side of the screen this time.
7. Turn off and on and your BD-D5100 is now region free.

Well, this doesnt work for me either. Hhahahhaha.
