Page 1 of Aiwa XD - DV170

I`m thinking of buying one of these machines in Hong Kong and all the website info I can find on it claims that it is multi-region: that it plays all 9 region zones.

Is this true? I want to be able to play Hong Kong DVDs and VCDs, but then also be able to play UK DVDs on it when I bring it home. Do I need to get it modified in the shop where I buy it or will it already play UK Region DVDs?

Also, does anyone have any comments on this machine?

This machine is not all-region. I own the Japanese version however. I bought mine in November 2000 when it was relatively new in Japan. Cannot find a hack code or any way around this .. Maybe the one being sold in Hong Kong is a newer version but the one I have only plays R2.

AIWA DV 170 CAN BE MADE REGION FREE TOLD TO ME BY THE SERVICE POINT IN MY COUNTRY --- BUT THE SU***** WOUDN`T TEL ME HOW TO DO IT.
I was there for an outher problem and asked if making it region free would help. His answer was: Its possIble but I can`t tell you how because ....!!!!!!!

duhhhh


KEEP ON HOPING FOR THE SOLUTION
