region free DVD player hack

The portable DVD player we’ve been using on the upstairs TV hasn’t been dealing with the heat lately, it kept locking up and it has been having trouble reading discs with my other player reads without problems. We decided to replace it with some of our remaining Target gift cards. I found a small (but not portable, next time I want a portable DVD player, I’m getting a new laptop.) cheap (right around $30) player at Target from Trutech. Model number T-600D ( I can’t find a link on target.com…) One neat little “feature” was a hack to make the player region free. There are a number of possible hacks for this model on that page, but the one that works for me was this:
1. Press SETUP
2. Press 8, 8, 8, 8
3. Press NEXT CHAPTER (4 times)
4. Current RC should be displayed , upper right
5. Select RC with LEFT/RIGHT (255= codefree)
6. Press SETUP
7. Turn the player off
