For those people with an F8000 (or any other model which come bundled with an IR blaster), switching the local_set to your desired region is pretty straightforward.
1. Download the .WAV files from here, as listed on the SamyGo Wiki:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/samygo/ ... p/download
2. Import FACTORY+3SPEED_inv.wav into iTunes (or any other music app). Create a playlist with just this file in it, ensure that the loop function is switched off so the file will only play once. In the file properties within iTunes, turn the Volume Adjustment setting up to 100% (on a Mac, this is done via right-click -> Get Info -> Options). Turn the volume on your PC to maximum.
3. Plug the IR blaster (which Samsung conveniently ship with the TV) into your PC headphone socket. Align the IR blaster with the bottom right corner of the TV.
4. Open the Service Menu on the TV using the standard remote control - put the TV on stand-by, press Info then Menu then Mute - switch the TV on.
5. Play the FACTORY+3SPEED_inv.wav file in iTunes. The TV screen should blink and you'll be terrified you've just bricked it.
6. Switch the TV into Stand-by mode, press Info then Menu then Mute on the remote and then switch the TV back on. The local_set field should now be editable.
It took 2 attempts for me to achieve this, on the first attempt the screen blinked but nothing happened to the Service Menu. After a slight adjustment of the IR Blaster I ran it a 2nd time and everything worked just fine.
I'm running 1110.2 software.

Re: change region
Big thanks to this forums!!
I recently bought a UE40F6500 from Pixmania which was a German model XZG.
The firmware is 1112.2 and I was able to change the region to EU UK after going into the service menu.
No IR blaster or anything required.

Hi all,klarya wrote:why don't you use the correct code for service menue?
i also have an ue55f6500.
use normal remote, that comes with tv.
turn off tv
press info -> menu -> mute -> power on tv
then under option is a point locat set
mine is eu_ger
I bougth last Oktober 19th. a 55f6500 german model with softwareversion 1112.2 I tried the method quoted above and also can easily change the local set this way in many countrys including ...BeNeLux..which i need (Ne=Netherlands) just using the remotecontrol. But i am a litlle sceptic, because this way is so easy according to all other methods descriped on this forum. Will this work if i can enter the servicemenu end change the region code as i can now?
Can anyone please confirm if this method really works and how can i check this?
Greetings
Re: change region
I have a UE46F6800. It was bought in Spain from Pixmania and the only country options were Belgium and Holland. I have been reading various forums about how to change the region to get the Freesat EPG but have been nervous about some of the options.
I have just tried the above suggestion:
turn off tv
press info -> menu -> mute -> power on tv
and got straight into the service menu. I have changed the region to UK and rescannned the channels and now have the full Freesat EPG.
Only downside is that it has reset all my picture settings so will have to recalibrate, but I guess that it is a price worth paying.
Thanks to those on this forum that suggested it.

Re: change region
beware - samsung tv in europe manufactured from about 39 week 2013 and later use IP geo-blocking if you change region in service menu - its block video from integrated tuner and on screen floating warning , info not verified but it is information from samsung service
