   "skip" buttoms.
7. When the display shows  A:05 and D:00 or 01 or 02 (itīs up to you) be sure to memorize the new settings by pressing the "Pause" buttom.

is exposed on the TV-screen when you re-program the player. As I have

player in "normal" modes if you by mistake change a another code than
"A" and "B".

(The following trick play method will only work if your player's MIC2 EPROM has the "old microcontroller code, the new one/s have a problem with player Region 1 DVDs that have macrovision, how do you tell....ummmm the method below)

1. Play any Region 0 NTSC DVD with Multiple Soundtracks
2. Scroll thru the soundtracks to make certain they are present on selected title.
3. Eject it then insert desired NTSC region 1 title.  
4. As soon as "READING" appears on your TV keep pressing  the PLAY Button on the remote control until counter on the DVD front display stops reading Disc.
5.  The disc will then start playing in about 5 seconds. 

(On selected titles you may not be able to change the audio track (if present) until the actual movie begins, most BVista and Universal Titles don't let you scroll thru the audio tracks via the remote, if you stop the disc, when you hit PLAY it'll start from the beginning of the disc) 

PLEASE NOTE: this method results in VERY LIMITED Functionality of region 1 Titles and WILL NOT play the second layer of a 2 layered disc..but hey it plays most of them, a bummer if you want T2.

ALSO you may use a PAL DVD in place of a region 0 titles  BUT you must then goto the OSD and Turn ON Quasi-PAL then turn the sucker back OFF (assuming you want the true NTSC signal for playback)..otherwise the disc is played as a PAL title and the image stutters..
