I hope that this is a very simple request which has a simple answer.   My BV 7-40 Mk VI's DVD player  is showing Region 2 for Blu-Ray in its module.  I need to set this to Region 0, or at least set to Region 1 and then back to Region 2.

Does anyone know a  fool-proof method of achieving this?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciate.

 

Many thanks

I have found a detailed paper issued by Keith Saunders which lists the steps on setting a Beovision 7 to Region Free.  There is, however, reference to a "Special Beo4 remote.  Can anyone help on this, for example, is it one of the "Hotel" remotes?  If so, does any one know where I could get one?

Many thanks,

Villarsch

It’s a dealer remote only. Note that it only applies to DVD not to Blu-Ray. Changing the Blu-Ray zone can only be done with the Service Tool by a B&O technician and I must emphasize that unlike DVD, free Blu-Ray zone is not possible.
