hi all, stumbled on the multi region hack for this player/recorder. thought someone might find it usefull.
1. power up machine on dvd ply mode
2. open tray
3. type 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0 for region free
4. close tray
if you did not see a message on the screen stating the region start at number 2 again.
this should work as i have tried it a couple of times on my own machine. have tried a region 1 film and it works.
