    RDV-985 region loss

    Ever since I bought my out-of-the-box region free RDV-985 DVD player it's been regularly loosing its region setting, so I've had to send it over to Rotel. Anybody knows a way to reset it to region 0 ? There's a technical note on Rotel's site to set it to region 1, but nothing else.

    I have never heard of the RDV-985 being "region free", or any Rotel DVD player for that matter. Where did you buy this? What does the region code say on the back of the unit, or on the box? How do you know that it was a region free player? I am just curious how you got your hands on this.

      I owned a RDV-985 as well. It is codefree, even for RCE discs.

      Mine had the same problem once, and forgot its regioncode as well.

      I had to send it to Rotel to reset its values. I unfortunately do not know what they did, because it only happend once to me. Rotel fixed it and that was it...

        I own a RDV1060 and it came regionfree out-of-the-box and it works without any problem (I buy most of my DVD's in the States).

          Denon 2200 and 2900 Region Free?
          by theMaximus
          I saw a while back a guy in U.K. selling some type of factory service CD that makes Denon 2200 and 2900 region free. He claimed it's completely safe and won't void warranty. Has anyone heard or tried something like this? I made my cheap Samsung DVD player for my bedroom region free with some remote...

          by venturi
          Since there is no law against this.

          How do I add regions or open it up wide to 'all' on my region 1 DVD 1060????

          Rotel has 'all' enabled dvd players in other countries. I asked tech support (rotel)and they said that even though there is no law against selling region free...
