I just bought one too and I`m very impressed.
The Region Hack
1) switch on dvd player
2) press eject on the remote
3) press 8, 4, 2, 1
4) press "Enter" and the region number on screen will change.
5) keep pressing "Enter" till it gets to "ALL"
6) press close button.
Done! And it stays multi region for ever. <g>
