The unit is actually in region free mode which means it can play any region in the world. Some DVD have something on them that stops them from being played.
Turn the DVD on. Press the open button with the DVD remote, then press "9735" or ?5168?. When the region code comes up go over and change it back to Region 1, when region 1 is highlighted, press enter, then press the set-up button on the DVD remote. Once this is done you should be fine.
this dvd player sucks, it doesnt play any dvds made by 20 century fox and all these post about pressing a certin code to make it work dont work at all i tried em all, people say open the tray and press this code and a menu will pop up and change it to 1, i do this and nothing happens, lets face it this player belongs in the garbage i dont know why wal-mart or any store would sell a piece of crap like this and all these people who say these codes work probably have a different dvd player that these code work on, thanks for nothing.

THANK YOU so much.
Tried and tried with "9735" and it wasn't working...
Just opened the door and pressed in "5168" and the menu popped right up. :D
("invalid key" appeared while punching in the numbers but menu appeared nonetheless)
It's a good, cheap player for my needs and now it's only real flaw (not playing some of my DVDs) is solved, thanks.
