I bought a Lotte DVD player with the understanding that it was multi region (i.e. would play region 1 dvds).

Long story short, it doesn't. Hi Mart has been evasive about the remote code crack, which clearly exists, but they won't give it to me for legal reasons.

I've searched the 'net but, although there are literally hundreds of cracks for the bigger brand names, there is nothing for Lotte.

Little help?

I found the hacks for my LG with a lot of searching. My best advice is to check if Lotte brand is marketed under another name in different countries (i.e. U.S.) and then search for that brand. For example, LG is sometimes marketed as Zenith in Canada.

Also, look at the hacks that you have found. They are probably all remote control number sequences, right? Try them out on your DVD player for kicks. They might work.

One more thing. If all else fails, call the Lotte service center and ask them for a code. Tell them that you love Lotte but you have a bunch of DVDs you brought from home that you can't play. Maybe they'll be sympathetic and give you the code.

Good luck.
