Apex AD-1110W
There is no known way to make the AD-1010W or AD-1110W truly "region-free"
or "VCR-friendly".
However, it may be possible to "force" your player to be region-free. More details below.
And, in the case of the AD-1010W, some units come with VCD support
disabled from the factory. VCD-enabled firmware from the AD-1110W (yes, 1110W, not 1010W) is available, and can be loaded on the VCD-disabled AD-1010W units,
in order to gain VCD support. See below.
"FORCING" YOUR PLAYER TO BE "REGION-FREE"
There is no "true" way to make this player region-free. There is a workaround method which "forces" the player to read discs from other regions.
However, there are a LOT of limitations involved.
Before doing anything, go into the PREFERENCE SETUP menu and change the various options (i.e. AUDIO, SUBTITLE, etc.) to the settings that you desire. You won't be able to change these options once the disc starts playing.
The "force" method is as follows:
1. Open the disc tray
2. Place your DVD on the tray.
3. Close the disc tray.
4. While you see the words "LOADING" on the screen, try pushing ONE of the following buttons repeatedly, very quickly:
TITLE
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
5. If the trick works - and there's no guarantee that it will - the DVD will start playing, with the word WRONG REGION in the upper left corner.
If the button you pushed does not work, repeat the
process trying one of the other buttons on the list.
To get rid of the WRONG REGION message, push the P/N button on the remote 3 times. (You will probably see the "Stop" symbol in the upper right corner after doing this - there's no known way to get rid of this symbol, but it's more bearable than WRONG REGION.)
Besides P/N, the only other buttons that will function while the DVD is playing are:
POWER
Open/Close
SETUP
Arrow keys/ENTER (only when inside the setup menu)
VOL+
VOL-
MUTE

In order to stop the DVD, you must push EJECT or turn off the Power.
