okay, i located the remote, my competitor down the road had one and he says he's never been able to figure out how to use it. It's a GGF1381. Hunted some more on google with that model no. and came up with this,
formatting link
the page's in german but has a section in english ; Power ON Confirmation of the CPRM ID No. as follows: press ESC then STEREO on the service remote, take a note of the 9 digit number, you will need it later( same No. is on the back of recorder), Exit this mode by pressing CLEAR. Deletion of the CPRM ID No.: press ESC + STEREO, input the same number as the ID number and press STOP. Input of the CPRM ID No. and ID data: press ESC+STEREO, input 9-digit ID number then press SEARCH to register ID, after this recorder's display indicates "INSERT ID", open drawer with recorder's OPEN/CLOSE button and insert ID disc, close. After recorder's display indicates "ID DATA OK" press CLEAR button. Power down then up, go to recorder's menu and initialize disc.
I pressed the "esc" button on it and pressed 3 and then enter , and the region ini disappeared ...hooray i crossed 1 hurdle. Then i tried the above mentioned procedure, found a paper sticker with a 9 digit number at the back of the unit and keyed it in. Now it wants me to insert an "id disc" which again, only pioneer service centres have... Any 1 know where i can download this disc? I tried learning the ir codes of the GGF1381 to winlirc but somethings not quite right ....doesnt work. Not giving up yet though...will share them if successful.
