Does anyone know any kind of code or mod chip available to enable the region free setting's?If a region 1 (its a region 2 player) is inserted the movie will play but will be in balck and white. Is there anything i can do about this?
Cheers

I wouldn't claim to be an expert in this, but if your region 1 DVD disk is playing in a region 2 DVD player, then your player must have been made region free (or perhaps set to region 1). The region coding restrictions are designed to stop disks being played, i.e. you should just see a screen telling you that the disk will not play in your machine.The problem with the disk playing only in black and white (assuming that it is a colour film) is due to interface problems between your DVD player and television. Are you using a scart lead between the two? Does your television support NTSC playback? Does your television have a scart socket that is RGB compatable? Have you set the DVD player to Auto or Pal50 or (better) Pal60 conversion?
Hi GraemeI had a similar problem, but in the opposite direction. I have a Pioneer region 1 DVD player (and an NTSC TV, but using component video). By accident I rented a region 2 disc, and put it in. I expected to to get an error saying that this region is not supported (as my friend got). However, it played, but there was garbage on screen. I took one of my multi-system TV's and got a perfect picture.
I also have a problem similar to yours with my cabe box. It has 2 settings (PAL and RGB). When it's connected to my NTSC TV (via composite -- not component -- video and set to RGB, I get a black and white picture.
I always thought that composite video was independent of NTSC/PAL (as I have a US video that works fine with a PAL TV when connected with the yellow composite video cable.
I'd dearly like to get the cable box working in color with by widescreen TV, so if you figure it out, drop me a line.
