First things first, setup the PC so that it’s ready to communicate with the Dbox

1. Open the Control Panel then go into Network Connections
2. You may have a few different connections so disable all of them with the exception of the
connection that you are going to use to communicate with the dbox.
3. Right click on the connection to be used and select “Properties”
4a. If using Windows XP turn off the firewall by clicking on the “Advanced” tab, click “Settings”
under “windows firewall” then select “Off” then click “Ok” then click on the “general” tab

4b. If you are using another firewall then be sure to disable it or you won’t be able to connect to
the Dbox. If you don’t know how then stop here.
5. Double click on “internet protocol” to take you into the IP settings

6. Click “Use the following IP addess”
7. Type in 192.168.0.101 into the “IP address box
8. Type in 255.255.255.0 into the “Subnet mask” box if it is not automatically put in
9. Type in 192.168.0.1 into the “Default gateway” box
10. Click “OK” then “OK” again to save the settings

That’s the computer ready now its time to setup the DBox

1. If not already turned on, turn on the Dbox. If there is no image on the box or if “Kein System” is
showing on the display then move onto the IFA tutorial.
2. Once booted up press the “Dbox” button on the remote which on mine is 2 below the power
button
3. Select “Settings” from the menu that pops up on the screen (should be 4 from the bottom)
4. Select “Network” from the new menu (should be 6 from the top)
5. Select “IP Address” (should be 7 from top) and change it to 192.168.0.100 then press “OK” on
the remote
6. Select “Default Gateway” (3 below IP Address) and change it to 192.168.0.1 then press “OK
on the remote
7. The “Subnet Mask” (Below “IP Address”) should be 255.255.255.0, if it is not change it
accordingly
8. Select “Start/Restart Network Now” (5th from top)
9. Select “Show Active Network Settings” (4th from top)
10. Go “Back” then click “Save Settings” to save everything.

Now that everything is set up its time to communicate with your dbox

1. Connect your Dbox to your PC via the crossover cable.
2. Open your “Network Connections” from the “Control Panel” of your PC
3. Right click on the connection you are using to communicate with your DBox and select Repair
(this simply refreshes the connection)
4. Open up Internet Explorer or Flash FXP or whatever program you are using to connect to the
DBox
5a. If using Internet explorer simply type FTP://192.168.0.100 into it. If asked, the username is
“root” and the password is meant to be “Dbox2″ but it can be absolutely anything.
5b. If using Flash FXP click on the lightning flash then quick connect then type 192.168.0.100 into
the “Server or URL” box type in “root” as the username and “dbox2″ as the password then click “Connect”

OK, so you can see the list of folders?
1. double click the folder Tuxbox
2. Now look for the folder Config, double click it
3. Double click zappit, This is where you transfer your service.xml and boquet.xml files.

I recently purchased one of these DVD players and could not find a region hack for it. So after trying a few codes which belonged to other models I found one which works on this model too.

To set your Toshiba SD-170E to multi region follow these instructions:

Power On
Open Tray
Press 9879 0

(0 [at the end] stands for multi-region, you may press buttons 1 to 6 to choose specific regions [see the manual that came with the player//see below])

A Message appears stating that “The Reg.No was changed to: 0

Below are specific regional codes for SD-170EKB / SD-170EKE

0 - Unlocked - all
1 - USA & Canada regions
2 - UK & Europe regions
3 - Asia Pacific, Taiwan & Korea
4 - Australia, New Zealand & Latin America
5 - Russia & India regions
6 - China, Calcos Islands, Walls & Futuna Islands
