How to Make Region Free DVD Players
If you have a DVD player which is coded for any specific region and you want to play a DVD which is designed for another region, then you may have to decode your DVD player. The manufacturers of the DVDs and DVD players set specific codes while developing their products, in order to make them region specific. For Instance, U.S and Canada fall in region 1 and China falls in region 6. So, if you have a DVD player which is coded for region 1 and you want to play a DVD which is coded for region 6, then you will have to find the unlocking code for your DVD player, in order to play that DVD.

Purchase a DVD, which is specially designed to be played for another region, non-playable for your own region. You can also borrow such DVDs from your friends, who might have purchased it from outside the country. If you do not have imported DVDs, then there is no need to unlock the code in your DVD player.

Check your DVD player’s brand name, along with its model number. You can easily see its brand name and model number from its box. If you have lost the box or you are finding it difficult to find the model number, then you should check the back or bottom of the DVD player. You can easily find the model number, mentioned against its brand name.
