Does this one work?
Press STOP (I think this is optional)
Press PAUSE
Enter code 314159
Enter Region Code (0 for all)
Press PAUSE
Turn power off then on. |

Also, could you tell me if your V181 has an OPTICAL digital output? All specs on the web says it has both optical and coax, but the manual I downloaded for it from LG site shows only having coax. |

Hi,
The LG V181 doesn't have an optical out. The '314159 hack' does work with this model.
I tried it several time before it worked though.
make sure you unplug the power, then power on without a disc in. |

Hi Andrew,
I bought same model dvd/vcr combo than you did. However the hack didnt work on mine and i am sure its because i didnt do it properly. I am not sure at what point boxes open to put the number in or how its supposed to work. Please help. |

Hi,
I figured it by a complete fluke. With the cd tray open, hit 0000 then a screen will come up where u enter the region code - make it 0 then you press pause and it's done!! I found this has worked for one of my other LG dvd players as well. Hope this helps. |

I've since gotten my V181 and tried the 314159 hack on this model (previously only used it on a different model)
With the player in DVD mode, no discs in the player, just:
Press PAUSE on the remote.
Enter code 314159 on the remote.
Should now be on screen asking you which region you want to set (0-6). Press 0 for all regions.
Press PAUSE on remote again.
Thats all it took on mine, after that could play all regions, didn't need to restart player. |

worked well for me too. I just picked one of these up this morning. The only thing I'd add is that for me I had to open the cd door like
