Anyone know where I could find the code to release a NEON CH2469F 23.6" Wide screen LCD TV with DVB and DVD.

    NEON IIRC is just a badge not sure who makes the actual DVD bit.

    If you can find that out might then be able to find a hack

    Found this which was not promising

    This is an old hack for a DVD machine made by them

    Turn on
    Open the tray
    Press Setup
    Select Perference menu
    Enter 1379
    Choose your area (O = multiregion)
  • unfortunately I dont have a tray (its a suck it in vertical slot) and the menu doesn't have preferences. I have a country setting showing UK but it is greyed out so I can't change it. I can go to DVD settings where I get TV system (NTSC, PAL or AUTO), a password (4 charas), something called rating which bizarrely lists American ratings, Default (to restore), Video (Interlace-YUV, P-Scan, YPBPR).

    I think maybe I need the password...

    Be carefull applying hacks which are not for the exact model or you don't know if they work or not as you can really stuff the dvd player.

    Would it not be easier to convert the R1 disc to region 0 to play in the Neon?
  • oooh, interesting sounding idea - whats how you do one of them when its at home?
