How to Unlock an Apex DVD Player
- 1). Turn on the TV that the Apex DVD player is connected to. Press the "Power" button on the Apex DVD player's remote control. Press the "Eject" button on the remote to eject the disc tray.
- 2). Press the following keys on the remote in this precise order: "8," "4," "2," "1." The numbers will appear at the upper right corner of the TV screen for a second before disappearing. Wait for the special service menu to appear on the screen--this can take up to three or four minutes.

Press the "Enter" key on the remote to make a number appear in the upper right corner of the screen. Continue pressing the "Enter" key until the all-region code number "0" appears on the upper right corner.
- 4). Press the "Menu" button on the remote to exit the service menu. Press the "Eject" button on the remote to close the disc tray. Press the "Power" button to turn the Apex DVD player off. Turn off the TV.
