Sorry ,my mistake... its "Region" in BD... read this

IN TV : You should go to SERVICE MENU-> CONTROL->SUB OPTION and then use only "down arrow" to "REGION" and select by "left-right" NORDIG or PANEURO or closest region to your country

This is an issue also found in E-series Blu Rays ...
Solution was to enter in Service Menu and change Channel Table from PANEURO to NORDIG or viceversa ...then reboot select country ,then EPG will work ok.

To input numbers you should dismount your device , find serial port connections on the electronic board ,solder TxD, Rxd and Gnd wires to a serial cable connect them to a Pc and open port via Putty or Telnet...
Thats it

Nice...
Don't forget to post some pictures of electronic board !!! Especialy SATA connector area.
Thanks

from 1003 firmware to higher versions (i stopped at 1006)i did not see any improvment of functionality... just blocked options...
Probably Samsung want to convice us to buy E-series BD-s...

That sequenz work on D6900,d8200,d8500,d8900 up to 1006 firmware but i don't know if work also on other models...or higher firmware's

I think yes , can be changed BUT , better FIRST make some photo of mainboard ,Hdd label and connector on the board to see if is a standard SATA interface (pins and chip model )

This will help other users of similar models (including me) to install internal HDD

Today i just read about the new line of BlueRay E-series FullBrowser with standard keyb and mouse, dvd ripping, wifi-direct, HDMI input !!! (BD E6500) just check on section NEWS on Samsung site... on UK site they put fewer info and nothing about DVD ripping but on romanian site full details... edit:...

Samsung's page here

"BD-ES6000 will offer a full web browser, which can be controlled with a conventional USB mouse and keyboard."
also new wifi direct feature
HDMI input !!! probably will feature PIP...(BD-E6500 )
Also on romanian site mentioned about dvd ripping but not on uk site

You shoud ask before change-it. Emitrasca reported same problem when change from XU to ZF ...but he manage to change-it back after a cold start (pull out plug and leave-it 1 minute) So DON'T DO THAT !!! It seems are hardware differences. If the reason was time zone and country settings go and change...
