    Doesn't look very promising, link
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die


  • Get a One-For-All universal remote that has a DVD key and a "magic" key,
    such as the One-For-All-4. (Borrow one from Argos :rolleyes: )
    (http://www.argos.co.uk/ProductDisplayTRK019?partNumber=5344905)

    * Select DVD device on OFA remote
    * Hold magic key until rabbit appears
    * Enter device code 0533

    Now program function code 189 into button 1 of the OFA remote like this:

    1. Hold magic button until rabbit appears
    2. Press 994
    3. Press magic button (don't hold)
    4. Press 189
    5. Press 1 - double flash indicates success

    Advanced OFA remotes such as the Kameleon have five digit function codes,
    in which case, press 00189 for step 4 above.

    Now program function codes into buttons 2-5 like this:

    * Repeat steps 1-3, then 255 2
    * Repeat steps 1-3, then 095 3
    * Repeat steps 1-3, then 221 4
    * Repeat steps 1-3, then 079 5

    Now the actual conversion of the RDR-GX120 DVD recorder to region-free:

    * Put DVD recorder on standby and point OFA remote at it.
    * Press 12345 - "TIMER OK" is displayed, and recorder starts up
    * Pull out the power cable... wait a few seconds, plug it back in.

    Good Luck
