Apex DVD region fix

Hi all,

I said I would post this. If you don't have any idea what this is about, just skip this message. If you're thinking about buying the Apex DVD player from, say, ebay, and you're wondering how hard the region fix is, or if you have to get it done in the hardware, etc., I'll let you know now.

The fix is done by the remote, only. Just have the player on, and do the following:

• Press "Setup"
• Select "Preferences"
• Press "Step"
• Press the back chapter button
• Press the forward chapter button

This will bring up the secrets menu. You can disable macrovision, disable region checking, and change the output to PAL/NTSC/or either.

I hope this helps. BTW, I haven't checked CC's new players, but they have two new Apex's. I guess you can get onto www.deja.com and search for Apex player.

I was just at Circuit City's website, and they have three different DVD players. There's AD703, AD600A, and AD500A. Will the codes you provided work for any of these?

Thanks, Vishal. *All* DVD players can do this, but for many of them the Secrets Menu has been kept secret. The manufactures do not want to make different models for each region, and macrovision has to be disabled for testing purposes by their engineers.
