This hack works for a lot of Samsung-Players ( unfortunately not for my BD-C500-XAA, A/1)
Another way could be to set the Buyers-Region described in the Service-Manual of the HT-C5200:

The second image shows the pinheader for the serial console. You could attach a serial TTL-Coupler to it to see the output. Would be interesting...
I would suppose the Software of these devices have more in common with the Samsung TV-Sets than with the Samsung Blueray-Series.

Broadcom based).
Regarding access to service menu, you will probably gain the information if you add serial console.
