Daewoo DVR06

I own a Daewoo DVR06 DVD player, it’s pretty cool, it plays and records most formats of DVD ( eg. DVD+-RW, ) also it appears to be region free, at least I can play both US and European DVDs without issue, well almost ….

Today I attempted to play a new DVD that I had bought locally, and when I attempted to play it all I got was a message saying “This Disc Is Not Formatted to Play In This Region.”

I was quite confused as the player, as I have said, can play multiple regions without issue. I also had no problem playing said DVD on my computer that only plays US and region-free discs.

The trick appears to be to restore back to the default factory settings, this is in the initial setup screen.

UPDATE :

Forget what I said about the DVR06 being region-free, after restoring factory defaults it locked into region 1, however I was able to find an article on t’internet that tells you how to change regions.


On the system information screen type in 1, 1, 0, 1
This should bring up the hidden option for the region selection
Hit 0 to make it multi-region or 1-6 to set to a specific region

This should work for the following models

DF-4100
DF-4150
DF-7100
DF-7150
DF-8100
DF-8150
DH-6105
DH-6100P
DR2100P
DRX-1105
DVR-06
DVR-S05
