change the region code.
Got A 5700 and an extra PC DVD drive lying around??? Open up that 5700, what will you see...hmmmm... how about a
sandard IDE cable/connector and PC Power cable plugged into the units dvd drive. Through in your dvd player and now this
drive supports DVD-rw, DVD+R/+RW (If the pc dvd drive supports them) Works great and is a very easy mod to add
functionality (Or replace a bad laser) to the 5700. The only thing you need to make sure of, is that the PC drive is set as
Master. Cable select, or slave will cause the Daewoo to not respond untill you change it to master. It is also possible to use a
plain PC CD Rom drive, but , of course, you lose dvd playback.
DVD-5800
To change the region code:
1. Open Disc Tray
2. Push "Setup" on remote control.
3. Push "93010"
("9" is the region code for all regions. You can substitute your region for 9 if you prefer.)
4. Push "Step," "Shuffle," and then "Next"
5. Close the Disc Tray.
to verify that the hack has worked:
1. Open Disc Tray
2. Push "Setup" on remote control.
3. Push "Shuffle," "Step, " and then "Next"
This takes you to the secret setup menu.
4. Scroll down to the "debug" setting and verify that the region you selected is selected here. Note that making changes
directly to the menu here WILL NOT WORK!
5. Close the disc tray
Note: There are some interesting settings in the secret setup menu that can be useful. When playing certain PAL discs on an
NTSC TV (SouthPark vol. 12-15 for example), you will notice certain distortions caused by the drawing method. You can
alleviate this problem by changing the "picture mode" in the secret menu until you find a setting that works.
Daewoo 5800 3 weeks ago at Sam's club and ran the firmware patch posted on this web-page:
www.nerd-out.com/darrenk/Daewoo_DVD5800/DVD-800patch.htm
It was a very smooth upgrade.
I do have a multi-norm TV set and ran the following tests with "Attack of the Clones" and "Pearl Harbor":
- PAL Region 2 DVD on PAL TV
- PAL Region 2 DVD on NTSC TV
- NTSC Region 1 DVD on PAL TV
- NTSC Region 1 DVD on NTSC TV
There was no noticable distortion, noise or anything in either one of the settings. Didn't try the Macrovision disabling as I
don't copy DVD's to tape! If you have this player and would like to playback other formats, this is THE ONE fix you need!
Turn the DVD player and TV on.
Leave the disc tray open.
press set up button on remote
press numbers 93010 on remote and
press step, shuffle and next buttons on remote in order.
press set up again to exit menu
Now put the disc and play.

Sorry, mistake above.
The correct code is 1 3 7 9 8 8 8 8
The correct code is 1 3 7 9 8 8 8 8
Just turn on the player, press setup, enter the code above, then a new part in the menu appears called version, and from in
there you can set which region you want, i find 0 (multi-region to be best) the only time you`ll need to change is if you want
to play a region enhanced disc.
yeh the 1 3 6 9 8 8 8 8 code worked perfect on my 9000s

Unfortunately, even though you see a MACROVISION selector in the hidden menu, selecting the "OFF" position has no
effect. The exception is if you were lucky enough to have purchased a version with the alternate video chip, labeled as "AVS
AV3169" (as opposed to "AVS AV3168") - in this case, Macrovision is already turned off from the factory (selecting
"AUTO" in the hidden menu if you have this alternate chip may distort your picture, so leave the selector on "OFF"!)

the button with the two arrows pointing backward with a line in front of them, for those of you that don't read manuals) then
press ONE CHAPTER NEXT (You guessed it! the one with two arrows pointing forward with a line in front of them).
The factory control page should appear on your TV screen. Move down to REGION ID and then move down to the region
ID that you want or move down to BYPASS to make it play all regions (Region Free)
Press the PLAY button then turn the POWER off.
The next time you turn this DVD player on it will play whatever region you chose or it will be region free if you chose

The hack mentioned below worked fine for me. Great instructions. Bought the 5000N on Ebay, and then discovered the
bonehead who sold it to me didn't hack the machine. So using the info at this link:

You might as well try the Daewoo 5000N firmware on the 6000D. The front panel buttons will become disabled (probably),
but the digital display will still work - or at least it should, since the two players use the same type of display.
Also the 5000D and 6000N remotes are the same, so you shouldn't lose any remote functions by trying this.

DAEWOO DVG-9000N
This page explains how to make your Daewoo DVG-9000N region-free and Macrovision-free. It is also possible to increase
the maximum volume level, by applying the firmware available on this page.
You would want to make your player region-free so that you can play DVDs bought from anywhere in the world -- not just
those in your "region".
You would want to make your player Macrovision-free if you have to hook it up through a VCR
(or a projector) and the picture constantly fades in and out.
This upgrade gets rid of the fading.
If you just need to switch the region setting of the Daewoo DVG-9000N to a single region (i.e., NOT the region-free
"BYPASS" option), this can be done with the remote control.
See SECTION 1 below.

27

However, if you would like to change the region setting to "BYPASS", or if you would like to disable Macrovision, or if
you would like to increase the maximum volume level, you will need to upgrade the player's firmware via CD-R or CD-RW.
See SECTION 2 below.
SECTION 1: Changing the region setting with the remote control
1. Make sure that there is no disc inside the player.
2. Push the following buttons on the remote control:
SETUP
Fast Forward >>
|<< (Skip Back)
>>| (Skip Forward)
If this does nothing, try the following instead:
SETUP
Stop
|<< (Skip Back)
>>| (Skip Forward)
If this does nothing, try the following instead:
SETUP
|| (Pause/Still)
|<< (Skip Back)
>>| (Skip Forward)

This should reveal the "FACTORY CONTROL PAGE", pictured below:


Change the region setting as needed.
SECTION 2: Upgrading the firmware to gain a "BYPASS" region option, to disable Macrovision, and to increase the
maximum volume level
1. Download the patched firmware by clicking HERE.
2. Unzip the files -- BANK30.ROM and TEST20MB.TXT
3. Open your CD burning program. Perform the steps necessary to set up the process of creating a new data CD.
4. Burn BANK30.ROM and TEST20MB.TXT to a blank CD-R/CD-RW. Be sure to apply these specifications before
burning the disc: Data CD, ISO9660, Mode 1, "Close"/"Finalize" disc session.
(Note: you may wish to place the ROM file inside of a subfolder on the disc. This prevents the upgrade from starting
automatically.)
(If you need help with burning the disc, you might want to check out this excellent article put
together by the guys at Area 450. The article references Sampo firmware, but the burning specifications are basically the
same. Note that the article does NOT make any mention about creating a subfolder, or closing/finalizing the disc, so you
will need to figure out those steps on your own.)
5. After the disc is burned, view the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer/My
Computer/whatever. Right-click on the BANK30.ROM file that's burned on the disc and select "Properties" (or do whatever

28

is necessary to view the Properties.) Make sure that the file size is
EXACTLY 524,288 bytes. If the file size is NOT 524,288 bytes, DO NOT CONTINUE!
6. Read the disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DO NOT OWN THISPLAYER SO I CANNOT TRY THIS CDR
UPGRADE MYSELF. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT TO YOUR
PLAYER. PERFORMING THE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED HERE WILL SURELY VOID THE WARRANTY OF
YOUR PLAYER!
7. Eject the disc tray on the DVD player.
8. Push SETUP. Enter the PREFERENCES menu. Scroll down to the DEFAULTS option. Select the RESET option and
push PLAY. Then push SETUP to exit the menu.
9. Put the CD-R/CD-RW, data side down, on the tray.
10. Close the disc tray.
11. The upgrade process will now begin.
(Note: If you placed the .ROM file inside a subfolder, the file browser menu will appear - use the arrow keys on the remote
to select the folder and then push ENTER or PLAY.)
IF YOU SEE THE MESSAGE "WRITE FAIL" at this point, scroll down to the "WRITE FAIL error" section towards the
bottom of this page!
You should see the following screens, in this order:
DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. LET THE UPGRADE PROCEED.
DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. LET THE UPGRADE PROCEED.
"WRITING" (which comes on and off about 3 times) and "BANK30.ROM" appear on your TV screen
(sorry, no picture available)
DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. LET THE UPGRADE PROCEED.
**DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER YET!!!**
12. A few seconds after seeing the screen above, the picture will go blank (it may turn blue if you have the unit hooked up
through a VCR) and the characters on the player's front display will also go blank (the green light above the disc tray will
remain on, however.)
13. Wait at least 5 minutes. Then, turn OFF the power using the MAIN POWER SWITCH (on the back of the player) -NOT the remote control or front panel power button.
14. Wait at least 30 seconds. Then, turn ON the power using the main power switch. As soon as you see the words "DISC
LOADING" on the screen, eject and remove the disc IMMEDIATELY! If you wait too long, the player will begin reupgrading itself...DO NOT PANIC AND DO NOT EJECT THE DISC IF THE PLAYER IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
UPGRADE. Let the player re-upgrade - then repeat Steps 12-14.
15. Push SETUP. Enter the PREFERENCES menu. Scroll down to the DEFAULTS option. Select the RESET option and
push PLAY. Then push SETUP to exit the menu.

29

16. The firmware upgrade is now complete.


To change the region setting to "BYPASS", perform Step #2 in Section 1. The BYPASS option will now be listed at the
bottom of the REGION ID menu:
NOTE: "RCE"-coded DVDs may not play if the REGION ID is set to BYPASS; if you find that this is the case, then set the
REGION ID to match the region coding of the RCE disc.
Macrovision should be automatically disabled.
However, you may find that it is enabled until you insert a DVD.
To increase the maximum volume level:
Push SETUP
Go into the DOLBY DIGITAL SETUP menu
Go into the OP MODE menu
Select the RF REMOD option
(this option was not available before the firmware upgrade)
Exit the SETUP menu.
Note: This may not have any effect on the volume level of DTS DVD's.
RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL (FACTORY) FIRMWARE
Download the original (factory) firmware by clicking HERE.
Repeat steps 2 through 16 in Section 2, above.
WRITE FAIL error
While performing the firmware upgrade, if you see the message "WRITE FAIL" on the screen, you will need to replace the
firmware chip inside the player.
Details on ordering a replacement chip are available HERE.
You can also order a firmware chip at a very reasonable price from chipdlx@yahoo.com
Regardless of who you contact to get the chip, specify that you need an "AMD 29f040 or compatible" 32-pin DIP chip,
programmed with the firmware located HERE.
Once you receive the replacement firmware chip, you can visit THIS PAGE for instructions on how to properly pop out the
old chip and put in the new one. The chip that you'll be replacing will look similar to the one outlined by the red box in the
picture below:

Daewoo DVN-3100N
I found this code playing around
with the tray open press 1,3,7,9 then choose 1-6 or "0" for region free.
now if someone could find a macrovision remover that would be nice :-)

30

I have an older widescreen TV that only uses a 75ohm coax


NO RCA inputs at all
so to connect the DVD to my TV I have to put it through a VCR and only 1/2 of my movies play all the rest the picture is
screwed up light to dark/ light to dark really annoying at first I thought my TV was finally giving out.
Daewoo DVN 3100N.
This region code worked for me. With the tray open using the remote control press one number at a time: 1,3,7,9 then
choose 1-6 or "0" for region free place a dvd on the tray, close the tray and play to enjoy. unfortunately the macrovision is
still on.
Indeed it would be nice to find a macrovision hack for this player. Hopefully someone will find the solution in no time.
DVN-8100N
The hack for the 3100N works for the 8100N also. I bought one today from Sears ($39.00 with a $10.00 mail in rebate). I
bought it because it is suppose to play VCD's and SVCD's also. Hooked it up and tried the Region Free hack posted for the
3100N. Worked fine. To summarize....

DAEWOO SD-9500P
I have just bought a Daewoo SD-8500p which i cannot even find on the Daewoo site :(
The closest match i can find is a SD-9500p... This looks identical to mine from front view but as far as i can gather is mine
(8500p) has x2 scarts + video & LR Audio out + your usual sound & RF Out... Where as the (9500p) has, SVHS + is it? Y
Pr & Pb with phono plug style video/audio IN & OUT as well.... But I think internally all components will be the same....
The reason i'm writing this is the shop that sold me mine had at least another 100 in the pile and for there price they get
snatched quickly...but if they try and get the region hack they'll not get anything listed for the 8500p just like i didn't ....
Anyway the region free hack for the SD-8500p is the same as the rest of the SD-xxxx range
WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL :
Press : ON (set VCR/DVD option to DVD)
Press : Open (disc tray ejects)
Press : 0 5 2 0 ( zero five two zero )
Press : Up Down Left Right
(^) (v) (<) (>)
(cursors surrounding setup button)
Region free message appears in top left corner
In order to set region code again repeat this sequence. Region Locked appears in top left corner. Don't worry the hack
unlocks it again.

DAEWOO DVD-5700
This page explains how to make the Daewoo DVD-5700 region-free, RCE-immune, and Macrovision-free. It also explains
how to add a PAL output option.
You would want to make your player region-free so that you can play DVDs bought from anywhere in the world -- not just
those in your "region".
"RCE immune" means that the firmware will play "RCE" DVD's even though the firmware is region-free.
You would want to make your player Macrovision-free if you have to hook it up through a VCR (or a projector) and the
picture constantly fades in and out. This upgrade gets rid of the fading.
You would want to add the PAL output option so that you can connect the player to a PAL-system TV.
If you just need to switch the region setting of the player, this can be done with the remote control.
See SECTION 1 below.
However, if you would like to disable Macrovision and/or you would like to gain the PAL output option, you will need to
upgrade the player's firmware via CD-R or CD-RW.
See SECTION 2 below.
SECTION 1: Changing the region setting with the remote control
1. Open the disc tray:

35

2. Push SETUP on the remote control. You will see a screen resembling the following:
3. On the remote control, push the following buttons:
X 3 0 1 0 (where X = your choice of Regions 1 through 9; Region 9 = BYPASS/REGION-FREE)
STEP
SHUFFLE
NEXT
4. There will be nothing shown on the screen as you perform Step 3.
The only way to verify that the region actually was changed is to do the following:
a) Open the disc tray
b) Push the following buttons on the remote control:
SETUP
SHUFFLE
STEP >|<
NEXT >>|
This will reveal the following "secret menu" screen:
5. Push the down-pointing arrow on the remote until the DEBUG menu appears:
6. If the check-mark on the right column matches the number you chose for "X" in Step 3
(your desired region choice), then you are done!
In the example illustrated above, "9" (Region 9) was chosen for "X" in Step 3.
THE DEBUG MENU DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE REGION SETTING. IT ONLY LETS YOU CHECK
THE REGION SETTING. YOU MUST PERFORM STEP #3 ABOVE IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE REGION
SETTING.
NOTE: The firmware is "RCE-proof", so selecting Region 9 should play ALL DVDs without problems, including RCEencoded discs.
SECTION 2: Upgrading the firmware to disable Macrovision and to gain a "PAL" option in the TV TYPE sub-menu
(NOTE: You can still change the region with the remote, as described in Section 1 above, even if you upgrade the firmware
to disable Macrovision & gain the PAL option.)
1. On the remote control, push the following buttons:
SETUP
VOLUME +
2. You should now see a screen which resembles the following:
IF THE FIRST LINE DOES NOT MATCH WHAT YOU SEE ABOVE, DO NOT CONTINUE. Instead, go to the Daewoo
forum on Nerd-Out.com (the link is at the bottom of this page) and ask for assistance.
3. Download THIS file.

36

4. The .zip file you downloaded in the section above contains three files:
TDVD-000.ROM
TDVD-001.ROM
TEST20MB.TXT
Unzip all of these files.
5. Open your CD burning program. Perform the steps necessary to set up
the process of creating a new data CD.
6. Burn TDVD-000.ROM, TDVD-001.ROM, and TEST20MB.TXT to a blank CD-R/CD-RW.
Be sure to apply these specifications before burning the disc:
Data CD, ISO9660, Mode 1, "Close"/"Finalize" disc session.
(If you need help with burning the disc, you might want to check out this excellent article put together by the guys at Area
450. The article references Sampo firmware, but the burning specifications are basically the same. Note that the article does
NOT make any mention about creating a subfolder, or closing/finalizing the disc, so you will need to figure
out those steps on your own.)
7. After the disc is burned, view the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer/My Computer/whatever. Right-click on each
of the .ROM files that are burned on the disc and select "Properties" (or do whatever is necessary to view the Properties.)
Make sure that the size of each file is EXACTLY 524,288 bytes.
If the file size is NOT 524,288 bytes, DO NOT CONTINUE!
8. Read the disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DO NOT OWN THIS PLAYER SO I CANNOT TRY THIS UPGRADE
MYSELF. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT TO YOUR PLAYER.
PERFORMING THE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED HERE MAY
VOID THE WARRANTY OF YOUR PLAYER!
9. Eject the disc tray on the DVD player.
10. Put the CD-R/CD-RW, data side down, on the tray.
11. Close the disc tray.
12. The upgrade process will now begin. You should see a screen which resembles the following.
It may say either TDVD-001.ROM (as shown below) OR TDVD-000.ROM.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE DISC TRAY HAS AUTOMATICALLY EJECTED.
The VFD (front display) will display "LOAD" for the duration of the upgrade.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE DISC TRAY HAS AUTOMATICALLY EJECTED.
Once the upgrade is complete, the disc tray will automatically eject. Remove the disc.
The VFD will either continue to display "LOAD", or it will show a bunch of symbols and "garbage" characters, or it will go
entirely blank.
13. Push the ON/STANDBY button on the front of the player. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN FOR AT LEAST THREE
SECONDS, SO DO NOT PANIC. After at least three seconds, the screen shown above will disappear. The red standby light
on the player will come on.

37

14. Wait at least another 10 seconds, and then push ON/STANDBY again.
The disc tray will automatically close.
Macrovision is now disabled.

ALTERNATE FIRMWARE

A player which is very similar to the Daewoo DVD-5700 is the Grundig 133S. This model is sold only in parts of
South America. However, its firmware is 100% compatible with the
Daewoo DVD-5700. There are both original and patched versions of this firmware available. The patched version
has the same modifications as the patched DVD-5700 firmware, but it goes a step further by disabling UOP. By
disabling UOP, it is possible to skip past the screens at the beginning of a DVD, by pushing the NEXT >>| button
on the remote control or front panel.
The firmware also contains three different types of PAL output options
(in addition to the NTSC option):
PAL_M
PAL_N
PAL
This is useful if you plan to use the DVD-5700 in a country that uses the PAL_M or PAL_N system, as opposed to
the standard PAL (or NTSC) system.
Note, however, that the Grundig firmware does NOT contain the MULTI option, which is desirable if you want to
connect the player to a multi-system TV.
Note, however, that the Grundig firmware does NOT contain the MULTI option, which is desirable if you want to
connect the player to a multi-system TV.
IMPORTANT: The Grundig 133S firmware defaults to the PAL_N system. This means that if you have a NTSC
TV, and you load this firmware, your picture will be black and white (and possibly scrolling vertically) after the
upgrade is complete. In addition, the default on-screen display language will be Spanish.
To change the output to NTSC, push the following buttons on the remote control:
SETUP
Right Arrow 1 time
Down Arrow 3 times
Right Arrow 1 time
Down Arrow 3 times
SEL
SETUP
To change the on-screen language from SPANISH to to ENGLISH:
Push SETUP on the remote control
Enter the VIDEO menu
Select the OSD sub-menu
Select ENGLISH
Push SEL on the remote control

It is also possible to use Daewoo DVD-5800 firmware on the DVD-5700. The advantages of doing this are unclear;
you may wish to search the Daewoo forum (linked below) for further clarification. One possible disadvantage is
that there are 5 extra steps involved in Section 2; the DVD-5800 page has all the details.

If you are interested in loading either of these firmwares on the DVD-5700, go back to the main page and look for links to
the the pages dedicated to these players.

HEARING "POPPING" NOISES?


Some people have reported hearing "popping" noises after upgrading the firmware.
If this is the case for you:
1. Push SETUP on the remote control.
2. You should automatically be taken to the AUDIO menu. Push the down-pointing
arrow on the remote to select the DIGITAL OUT option.
3. Change the DIGITAL OUT setting from OFF to BITSTREAM or PCM. (Even if you are not using the digital audio out
connection.)
4. Push SETUP to exit the menu.
ORIGINAL (FACTORY) FIRMWARE
Repeat the steps in SECTION 2, substituting the following for Step 3:
