TSDVDREG-2001-9629735-R0
2. Save the file as "CREGIN.TXT" (without the quotation marks).
3. Burn this single file to a CD-R using ISO 9660 Mode 1 format (not Joliet).
4. Insert the CD into the DVE-611 - note this is not a firmware flash, merely accessing a factory setting.

handling RCE discs.
If you prefer you can make your player play just one Region, by substituting the figure after the "R" at the end of the
text stream:
TSDVDREG-2001-9629735-R1 for just Region 1 playback.
TSDVDREG-2001-9629735-R2 for just Region 2 playback.
