3 out of 5 stars Alright if I were French   October 10, 2008
G. S. Leighton
I just got my dvd player today and it's spot on. took me no more than a minute from taking out the box to having it set up on my TV (including switching it to multi-region). it was easy to set up which is a good thing considering all the instructions i got with it were in French and even the dvd player itself is set in French.

This is where i'm hoping somebody might be able to help me, am I able to switch the dvd play to english so i can understand the menus?

plus on a side note and this isn't really anything against the dvd player. when it was delivered today the packaging was shocking. it was all ripped to bits. If it wasn't for the fact that none of the holes in the bag were big enough to fit the dvd player though i would of said it looked like somebody had switched them.

The DVD and VCR that this replaced (from 6-10 years old) cost four times as much and yet this is superior to them both. I can't beleive that some expected a DVD Recorder was included at this price...give it a few more years at least, however the descriptions for the v6800 do vary depending which site is visited. The VCR definately has 6 heads and not 4. The DVD can become multi-region with the hack descibed by others on Amazon. If like me your TV only accepts Progressive Scan in NTSC format the DVD player won't output a PAL disc in NTSC format. NTSC encoded disks work fine. I didn't have any issue with the remote either although the dubious unbranded batteries could have caused that issue.

Easy setup, plays my videos, plays all my DVDs, no complaints. VHS picture looks a bit soft, but that's probably the best it can be. I have a thing for tacky 80's b-movies that never made it past the rental market, so they've all been well used!

Found this code on a forum for another player and it works, make sure you don't have a disk in.

1. Turn on player with no disc in the tray. "No disk" appears on screen.
2. Press the "Repeat" key on the remote.
3. Press "57538" on the remote. A number should appear on screen, indicating your player's current region (e.g. "2").
4. Press the number for your required region (e.g. "1") or "9" for region-free/all-regions. The number will appear on screen, replacing the previous number (from step 3).
5. Press "Open/Close Tray" and leave the tray open for a few seconds.
6. Press "Power On/Off". The tray closes automatically and the player turns off. Next time you turn it on, it is region free (or whatever Region you selected in step 4).
