How do I unblock a DVD Player?

Lucy_Lastic

I have a BUSH 2053 DVD player and need to unblock it so that I can play DVDs from other regions.
Can anyone help?

I have ALREADY searched the forums, there is nothing for this particular model. I have also Googled it and found nothing - even on Videohelp.com.

If you cannot be helpful then please don't bother posting.

There are a few codes here:

Thanks Goldeneye, but I had also tried that website and found that someone has asked the same question about a Bush 2053, but unfortunately no one has come up with a reply.

Any more suggestions?

Here's another link. I bet you have tried this one too!

Looks like you are out of luck... It could be one of the few that is not able to be unlocked.. A lot of the cheap ones just dont have the feature installed where as more expensive ones just have it disabled..There isnt even a code for the 2051 either so maybe the whole 205* series wont be able to be unlocked..

I have had a look and I cannot find any codes. Sorry Lucy.

Goldeneye - Yes I had looked at that site and two other people have the same problem. Someone has given a solution, but unfortunately it does not work. However, I have registered onto their forum now, I live in hope!

Sco0ter - You may be right, it was quite cheap.

Thanks for trying.

Its more of a cost cutting thing.... Under rules for the film industry (need to see if I can dig the article out) the manufacturers were getting charged more for selling Multi region players than with single region players. Thats why manufacturers started locking the regions.. however when the codes started being posted on the net they would only cut down the amount they charged them if they made them with only 1 region instead of just locking.. Thats why cheaper DVD's usually only come capable of 1 region so they keep thier costs to a minimum.

imho

Maybe your dvd player is "badged " under a different name.It might be a Alba or some other make
