Grundig Xenaro GDP 6150
Get into the Service Menu
This is not intended for home users, only for service technicians
Therefore you're asked for an access code, it is 8500 for all Xenaro DVD Players
Activate "System Messages" using the Service Menu
Leave the Service Menu and get into the "System Informations" Menu
When you see the System Infos, enter the following code on the remote control
Note that the player will not print the code on the screen, you have to enter it blindly
The code is: 70307192 (This is the one that differs from the 5100 model.)
A system message should appear. It will not appear if you got the code wrong or if you did not activate system
messages in the service menu
Confirm the message with OK on your remote.
Now a window appears in which you can change your region code
Values 1 to 8 and "none" are possible. "none" will disable the internal check of region codes (i.e. makes the player
CodeFree), but RCE titles might not work
This doesn't really matter, as you can change the code as often as you wish to match a specific disc
If you want to, you can disable System Messages again using the Service Menu after you changed the code.
