Hi,
i want to share with all of you my experience for changing the "region code" (Local Set).
My TV is a Samsung UE22H5600AKXXU the firmware installed is the last [Version : 2116.1]
First try :
pressing on remote : INFO+MENU+MUTE+POWER (from stand by), it goes into service menu but the "LocalSet" is not visible
Second try :
download "ruSamsungTVCommunicator" unzip, disable firewall on my Win7 Ultim 64 bit, run ... nothing, the program refuse to work
Third try :
Build my own IR transmitter (http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Remote ... m_IR_codes)
... 2 IR leds, Jack, patience .... OK
download the wave files and try ... very difficult to see working, sometimes yes and sometimes no,
seems there are problems with IR receiver on TV set, used the IR extender that comes with the TV, better results,
info is working, mute is working, but unable to use "INFO_FACTORY_inv.wav",
after many times triyng to see working, an idea comes in my brain:
press INFO on remote then immediatly play "FACTORY_from_REMOTE_inv.wav" : WORKS !
i was able to change the Local Set to my zone !
some more hints:
- use WinMediaPlayer, i try VLC, not working
- use max volume on WinMediaPlayer
- use max volume on PC
- Start TV in normal mode
- IR leds of the transmitter pointed to the external IR
- distance between IR Leds and external IR : circa 10cm
- press INFO on remote pointing the IR of the TV
- after changing the local set press power on the remote to shut down the TV
Probably the file "INFO_FACTORY_inv.wav" is too speedy, or the two commands "info" and "factory" are too near eachother.
Hope this will be useful for someone ... in trouble as i was ....
Many thanks to all the people that provided the various programs, waves, etc !
