DVD zones and DVD players in phnom penh
- Login to post comments
silly me ... all my DVDs are zone 2 (france, uk, japan) with some undertagged D1, D4, etc. (uk of course...) and so far, the two local DVD players i was given don't work.
any tip as to where i can buy a DVD player second hand that takes zone 2 D1 to D4 or ... better yet... where i can dezone a DVD player or buy a DVD player for all zones?
thanks in advance

No, but can I add to this - my friends bought a Wii for their kids from Oz and it will only play Region4 (or whatever it is) games, so they want to get it 'de-zoned'.
hopefully somebody knows a place that does this for all kinds of players...!
You can take the Wii to soriya or sovanna and go to the store that sells Wii's. They can put in the chip that lets you play pirated games (around $5 each instead of $50). I seem to remember the cost to install the chip was somewhere around $40
Google the brand and model number with terms like "crack" and "region crack," etc. Many of them are crackable in various ways. See here for some examples: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/
Another way, if you're desperate, is to play them on your laptop and hook the laptop up to your TV. (Computers usually let you switch zones seven or eight times before locking into one zone). For the TV hookup, you need a special cord, and can run the TV as an alternate monitor. Quality can vary, however.
thanks, i thought of googling the model for a crack... i'll do just that, as quality with a laptop on tv is not all that good... plus i like to work on the laptop and play some silly chick flick on tv at the same time
