PLEASE NOTE - The REOC A5 DVD Player was advertised and
purchased from Safeway as a Region 2 Player ONLY. Changing the DVD
player to region free is done at your own discretion and entirely at
your own risk. The information on this page has been checked by our
engineers. Whilst we try to ensure that the information is factually
correct, we cannot be held liable for any problems that may occur or
damage that might result. Please make sure you read this
DISCLAIMER which covers this and all
other pages on this site.
You do not need to change the region settings of the Reoc A5 DVD
Player if you just want to play Region 2 DVD's purchased in the
UK and Europe.

Unfortunately upgrading the A5 to region free is a little bit more
complex than the A3. A short file needs to be created on a CD.
You will need at least the following in order to do this yourself:
- A reasonable spec PC capable of burning CD-R or CD-RW
- A CD burner
- 1 Blank CD-R or CD-RW
- Software For Burning Your CD-R or CD-RW
Alternatively, if you do not have the facilities to burn your own CD we
can supply a CD-R with the file for £4-99 including postage, packaging and VAT,
ORDER HERE.
Procedure
- Either:
Open a simple text editor and start with a new blank page.
Type the exactly the following TSDVDREG-2001-8608201-R0
Save as a file called CREGIN.TXT.
OR
Alternatively download this file
CREGIN.TXT
(25 bytes)
- Using your chosen burning software, burn this file to a CD-R or
CD-RW.
- After powering down the A5 by removing the mains plug, and then
powering the unit back up, insert the freshly made disc into the
player and after a short while "R0" will appear on the player's
title screen on the TV.
Your A5 is now region free and will play films from any region.
Please Note: -Although your player is now
region free, we cannot
guarantee that it will play films that are region specific. (i.e.
RCE protected discs). These discs will
not play in region free players
and must be played in either a player that is designed for that region
or a player that will let you select the region code manually (or
automatically chooses the right region.)
