Just in case I ever need to region-hack a DVD player. Where else does a body keep this kind of information?

This hack should also work on the Goodmans GDVD-134
To change this players Region:

Turn On the player and Eject the disc tray
On the remote press 2, 8, 1, 2 followed by Enter
This gets you to the engineers menu
Press Down until you reach COUNTRY CODE and press Enter
The current region code will change to four dashes (----)
Input one number (0=Region Free, 1=USA 2=Europe, etc) and press Enter again
The new region code will now be displayed. You can exit by just pressing the Eject button once more
Enabling VCD playback:

Turn On the player and place a VCD on the open tray
Using the front panel press Close quickly followed by Menu and 5 on the remote
This should load and play the disc. If the disc fails to play then press 0, 0, 0, 1 and the disc should then play
