I know that there is a "manual switchover" solder modification I can do on my Pioneer DV414.
It`s a small job if you know what two joints to solder together.
My player is out of warr. btw, and I would like to have a manual region select anyway.
If you have a photo or description of where on the underside of the main circuit board I need to solder, please let me know. I have seen blow up photos and detailed description of the mod for this model on the internet and at a hifi store, so they do exsist.
Many thanks
