Walmart DVD players
 
I know Walmart are cheap and I am trying to save a few $, but has anyone ever bought a DVD player from walmart and got their UK DVDs to play on it.
In other words do they sale Region/Code free DVD players there?
Been on their site (Walmart and can't get any tech info about the DVD players they sell):confused:

Can you not put the make and model and 'region 0' into google and see what comes up.

Its a Phillips, but can't make out what model it is. No model info on Walmart site.:)

Making Canadian DVD Players Multi-Region
 
Hi,

Here's a link to the website that offers the process for changing your DVD player into a multi-region one.

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/rca-drc233n/5037

Our cheapo RCA machine came from Walmart, and I just had to follow their instructions and punch in a sequence of keys into the remote control.

You can type in the make/model of the machine you're interested in.

yes we got one a couple of months ago, a really cheap one. Found a code on the internet and 5 mins later were playing UK DVD's, really easy!

My Walmart RCA player still works fine after 2 years. I hacked it using videohelp website. It has the worst remote control in the land though. The buttons are tiny even with my small hands! Ask to see the remote control of any player you buy :)

Recently brought a Phillips DVP3980 from Wallymart for $49. Does 1080p upconversion over HDMI.

Took three key presses to make it Region Free!!! Works a treat:thumbup:

Hi

Don't bother with Walmart go to Canadian Tire. I bought a a Digitron model DV 029 for CD$39 and it plays all regions. There are no code to press in, no keys sequence just plug and play. It is HMDI and works a treat. It does not say anything about multi region on the box but does on the inside literature. :thumbup:

Regards

Winston

We bought ours from Canadian Tire ($29) and just found the code to hack into it on one of the above websites.
