Try this:

Press Setup. Press "9210" in quick succession. A new window will appear. Press "0". Press Setup to exit.

Hello Guys. I am new to this Forum.

Just wanted to say I also recently got a 983 and it gives absolutely wonderful video. In the same DVD that I have viewed before with a Pioneer 585 player, I heard and saw new items that I dod not know were there in the movie.

I actually have taken the precaution of having two DVD Players. The Oppo 983 to play original DVDs, and a Pioneer DV400 to play DVDs I am not very sure about in terms of quality. I have also tried the 983 for some music and it is very very good. I also plan to get a Oppo 980 some time this month.

Do you buy those locally or get it from outside. If you are buying here, what is the price you get?

I buy these on my trips to the US and bring them back as personal baggage.

Thanks, when you say try this does it mean it will def work or it may work.
Have any of you done it on your oppo 983??

Thanks for the review audiodelic. Though i've yet to use my oppo, it seems i made atleast a decent choice by not get getting the PS3 or the
panasonic BD-30 esp since audio was my main concern.
Cheers

I don't have this Oppo but a friend does and he says this is how he did it. A quick google search also confrims it. Don't think anything can go wrong.. so try it, SETUP - 9210 apparently presents you with the region menu with '0' being all regions..

I have a 983 and I have made it region free with the steps mentioned above. It DOES work.

Cheers.

I have an Oppo 981 ( was the latest model when it was brot in from US in June 07), & the regionfree hack mentioned appears to be standard one across all their models.
It IS a great Universal player & great VFM.
Wish it was available locally too but Oppo does'nt operate that way, it seems.
