Have you tried the method for LG RH4820?

Open Tray
Press '0' seven times

Might work...

Hey guys,

You are very close,

But this works on the LG RC6821W after trying some of the options you have recommended ove the web

go to setup (press on the remote)
move down to highlight the padlock logo (4th down)
dont move across to sub menu just press the 0 seven times and it will appear that you are now using region free. That easy.

I cant belive I fluked it!

Oh well at least I can now watch all my dvd's and so can you guys!

I have an LG RC6821W (Dual DVD Recorder & VHS Recorder), It only allows me to record from my family VHS to DVD once, as it has a CPRM (copy protection system, with scrambling system) that allows only to record the DVD once, which does not allow the recordings made on the DVD's (from the VHS) to be recorded on again. In simple terms the family DVD that was recorded cannot be used to copy from it again, it is converting my family movies to a DVD protected movies, I want to be able to copy the copied DVD as many times and give it to family members as many times I want and I have tried many options but to no avail. Please help if you know a way. Thank you very much and God bless you

Hello everyone,

It would be unbeleivably helpful if anyone could give me the multi region code for the LG DVC 8700 video/dvd recroder. i have noted the above dvd 8600 solution and will try tonight but if anyone could directly e.mail me with the exact answer it would make me the happiest man in the world...and i just got married too!

Hey guys,
I bought a LG DR6821W DVD recorder yesterday and it was set to region 1 for Australia, I read your board and thought I'd try your multi-region fix. It worked like a dream. Thanx guys, I owe you.

Hello, ok yes I am woman asking a technical question. By using the unlock code do you void the warranty or anything please. I have just purchased the LG RC6821W which will be delivered this week and I found your code unlocking very interesting. I live in Australia Region 4 and also like above have some great region 1's.
Thanks for your ideas.

I cant see the warranty being voided if you enter a code, maybe if you open the machine up and enter the code using a screwdriver, hehe. I did it to mine and I bought my recorder from good guys in townsville, after I did it, i rang them and told them and now they tell everyone that buys an LG recorder the code.

Thanks for posting the code Ryan. Just picked one up an RC6821W on the weekend, and was disappointed at first that I couldn't play my DVDs from overseas.

The following appears to work with LG 4820, 4812 and RH4810W (Australian model). It also disables macrovision (note it may void warranty - do so at your own risk).
1. Open the DVD recorder tray
2. Press 0 (ie zero) 7 times
3. press the pause button
4. On the TV screen, a dialog box will the appear which will ask you whether you want to make your LG DVD free. To accept, press "OK".

This code appears to remove Macrovision.

By the way, I understand that it is possible to swap the 80G HD drive for a 120 G drive BUT you need special system software from LG.

Does anyone have this software? I would appreciate a copy.

For the LG V8824W try the following... Im assured it works just going to try it now myself.

Remove any discs and turn on DVD.
Press PAUSE
Enter 314159
The hidden region code menu will now appear.
Set code you want- 0 for region free, 1 for region 1 etc then...
Press PAUSE!

Hi, the pressing the region code 7 times to change its compatibility works a treat but is there a limit as to the number of times you can change the region? Cheers, Chris.

If anyone get's stuck trying to copy DVD's, my solution is I just rip it using DVD Shrink 3.2.
Then you will have all the VOB Files to re-burn to any DVD

For the LG LH-T750TB use the following instructions (seems to work with most LGs)

To convert this player to Multi-Region playback
1. Press the Pause button on your remote control
2. Using your remote control enter the code 3, 1, 4, 1, 5 and 9 Note: If your unit does not enter the following mode which enables you to enter a region code, repeat steps 1 and 2. You may need to enter these codes in a shorter time span for them to work.
3. Press the 0 button on your remote control for Region free, 1 for Region 1 or 2 for Region 2.
4. Press the Pause button on your remote control
5. Power off your player and wait a few seconds
6. Power on your player


just got my us imports working!! YEAH!

I have an LG RC6821DVD/Video Combo. Has anyone found a way to get it to make a DVD( back up )copy of a copy protected video. My machine will generally copy them but about 1 in 4 are refused permission to dub by the Combo machine because of copy protection built into Video. I am a collector and only want to make one DVD copy.
Thanks

I have been trying to find an unlock code to for my LG HDD/DVD Recorder Receiver System model LH-RH9509TA, to no avail. I utilised the unlock code as suggested by Cooper1423(Ryan) Setup, down to padlock screen and then pressing 0 seven times. To my excitable surprise, it worked. I have a hundred or so region 1 & 2's I can now play through my home theatre and not my cheaper DVD system. Thanks muchly Ryan.
