Must be a tough question

As far as I know none of the Samsung Blu-ray players can be hacked.

I've just done it !!!!

Yes it actually works.

Theres a hack out there for the other players which involves turning it off for 30 secs then punching a code which opens and closes the tray. But this did not work.

So out of frustration i opened the tray manually then hit the code and enter, the tray closed and now its region free.

So....

Open tray

Press 8,4,2,6,9,enter and its region free

Dunno whether its a soft hack and if you unplug it it wipes, i dare not switch it off now i have it working !!!

Hope this helps any other users

If anyone else has one of these, does anyone know of a way to make the ipod player play random tracks ?
As it is now it converts all playlists to play them in alphabetical order.
so you can end up with 5-6 tracks all by the same artist.
annoying

Not true.
I hacked my BD1600.
