Can you link to the thread discussing this? I can’t find it.
I think it was this thread Stoobie was refering to

This is news to me. Some Beo4s can do this and some cant?

I performed the region change on a DVD2 a few years ago with the Beo4 that I was just using at the time on a daily basis. I suppose the good news here is that I still have this Beo4 (I think!).

Do the instructions above for the 7-32/7-40 also work on 7-55 mk1? I will have to perform the region change myself soon.

The so called "Special Remote" is not so special it just adds a REG1 & REG2 command as you will see in the attachment.

You don't need the special remote" to make the DVD2 region free. That is done with a standard Beo4 so maybe your remote is not the "special" one :( Stoobie

Thanks for the feedback Keith, but I've found the standard BEO4 won't display REG 1 or Reg 2,let alone "shift"as per step 10.

I programmed region free on my DVD1 awhile ago using the standard BEO4.

Thanks to all concerned for the input - much appreciated.

It looks like Mr 10% might have solved my problem- he has

a special remote that I can have.

I'll keep you posted on whether it's been successful or not .

 
This only deals with region free for DVD. What else can the special remote do? (if anything)
Hi all,

Has anyone got a Beo4 with "Special Command 2" on it please?

I assume Keith has one, because his "Region Free" instructions require the

use of one .

Has anyone got one ?- Even just for a loan ( and I pay shipping each way- I'm in Australia)

Thanks

Noel.
