Thank You! This worked for me in the U.S. on my UK Arrow Hellraiser Blu-Ray Set! It took a few tries. it works best once you first see the screen pop after hitting the home button then smash that Top Menu Button repeatedly.

It's nice to always get nice people to try and help with region locks but expectations should always be low. These hacks or workarounds depend on the firmware version you are on and many will update their players. Also, newer encoders of disks know of the hacks and plug them up. This is why many mention criteria and arrow as greater success over shout factory and others. So thanks, but hopefully, you're not branded. Click bate as the workaround works but mostly on older firmware or older disks.

Ok Paulie, this is very misleading and not entirely accurate. The only region A discs I am able to play are from Arrow and Criterion. You only have to press stop and then Top Menu once or twice. I also have a ub820 but not with the remote you have. Nothing else will play as any button press is forbidden. I have tried your method (posted by someone else) on Scream/Shout Factory and Vinegar Syndrome and it doesn't work. The Last Starfighter works in both methods so you need to try other discs (not Arrow or Criterion) and then do a follow up video. Cheers. Gaz.
