SAMSUNG D5500 BLU RAY PLAYER CODE HACK POSTED

Samsung D5500 Blu Ray Player Code Hack Posted

Ensure that there is no disk in the tray. Thanks to whoever discovered it first: 1. I followed the following steps. Region code hack posted by ali_khan, May 24 2011:Just managed to unlock my player, I can now play DVDs from all the regions. The deck delivers excellent images from Blu-ray discs, be they 2D or 3D, and loads Java-rich discs in around 45 seconds, which is a tolerable wait.Blu-ray movies look exceptionally sharp and textured, with no evidence of jagged edges, mosquito noise or other artefacts, while colours look deep and dazzling and also show no signs of banding or imbalance. Dark scenes are comfortable to watch thanks to the deck's solid contrast levels.We can't fault 3D performance either вЂ“ the BD-D5500 passes stereoscopic pictures to a TV without any problems, resulting in a believably layered and utterly absorbing picture.When it comes to DVDs, the deck's upscaling is decent enough although the image tends to be a little smudgy in places, and with music, the thin sound betrays its budget price tag вЂ“ but these are the only blots on an otherwise peachy landscape.

(The button is between the 'Power' and 'TV Power' buttons at the top of the controller.) 5. Press the eject button to open the tray. Wait until the main menu page appears and the player stops doing anything. This is necessary to clean-boot the firmware.

Enter a '9' to make the player region free. The region code '4' should appear at the top left corner of the screen.(this just flashed on then off, so keep an eye on the screen) 11. Enter 76884 on the number pad. Press the REPEAT button вЂ“ just above the TV channel selector at the bottom right of the controller. As soon as the 'No Disk' message appears at the top left corner do the following. Wait while the player searches for a disk.

Don't bash away like crazy, just do it smoothly and briskly. The entry gets timed out so you can't stop in the middle and restart. All six keys must be entered smoothly as 'REPEAT 57538'. Secondly, the REPEAT key is part of the code. = Firstly, you must start entering the code just after the 'No Disk' message is shown and before the message disappears. Play a foreign DVD to verify the change.

Samsung seems to take this crazy region bastardry very seriously for some reason. I also can't guarantee that this will work with all released firmware. I can't guarantee that this player does not have a region change counter so I would be a bit careful about changing regions back and forth. It took me about a dozen tries before I got it to work.

I think that the hack should work for all Samsung BD-D-models. The actual region set appears in the right corner again and then you can enter the region which you want. 9 (region free) if you use the desciption above and then the same number code for your former region (as it is pre-set, for Europe 2).

How this differs from the opening post is no need to open and close the disc tray. Turn off and on and your BD-5500 is now region free.

The UK remote works fine in every other respect with my Canadian player. I was very patient and tried many times but nothing happened. This was the 1018 release. I then downloaded the UK firmware and installed on the unit. American firmware 1015 did not work.

I got the Samsung BD-D5500 (3D 'Smart')a few weeks ago, it came with the remote AK59-00125A which does include the button 'REPEAT' and the 1016.2. Cheers, HowardBRegion code hack posted by lestheraol, November 13 2011:I've tried the two possible roads here but none worked. American players lack a built in PAL to NTSC converter so nothing will work.
