How to Make a Blu-ray Player Region Free?

Make Blu-ray Player Region Free

Q & A

Q: Why can't my LG Blu-ray player play the disc I brought back from the United States? The player is new, and the disc is new too. How can I make my LG Blu-ray player region-free?

A: The reason is that Blu-ray discs cannot be played freely across all regions. Regional restrictions are the most common cause of playback issues. To make your Blu-ray movies playable from other countries or regions, you can make your Blu-ray player region-free. But how? Let me explain.

How do you make your Blu-ray player region-free? Blu-ray region codes restrict playback because the codes on discs and players vary around the world. For example, if you travel to the US and bring back an original Blu-ray disc to Europe, the region code on the disc won't match your Blu-ray player, and a "Wrong Region" message will appear on your screen.

No worries – the good news is that you can still watch your region-locked Blu-rays in different areas. One of the best ways is to unlock your Blu-ray player's region code. It's not too difficult for beginners. So let's go through the instructions for the unlocking process.

Part 1: Blu-ray Region Codes Explained

First, let's learn more about Blu-ray region codes. Blu-ray discs have region codes, but unlike DVD players, the region codes for Blu-ray disc media use letters instead of numbers to indicate the zone or region where the discs can be played.

The Blu-ray Disc region codes are as follows:

  1. Region A: North America, South America, U.S. Territories, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia

  2. Region B: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand

  3. Region C: Asia (except Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia)

  4. Region FREE: This is not an official setting, but discs with the Region FREE symbol either have no flag set or have all region flags (A, B, and C) set.

NOTE:The region codes for commercial Blu-ray disc movies can be found on the back of the Blu-ray disc case.

(A color-coded region map for Blu-rays would be placed here.)

Part 2: How to Remove Regional Lock on Your Blu-ray Player for Free

The following unlocking guide will show you how to make your Blu-ray player region-free. You can search the VideoHelp site and choose a model from its massive database – then the Blu-ray region code can be easily hacked. There are two different hacking methods for making your Blu-ray player region-free.

  7. Power the Blu-ray player OFF (wait 30 seconds)
