Hope this might help some of you out there. Just bought the Sony RDR-GX3 DVD Recorder, and couldn`t find a multi-region hack from the handset. Tried the Sony dealers who would charge about 40 quid to do it. However I did find www.sonycodes.co.uk who, for £19.99, send a chipped remote to you which takes about 10 seconds to use, and then return the remote to them. Worked fine for me. Its now multi-regional. :)
