Please note:- People have being reporting that these Sony hacks don't work. These instructions come from a sheet supplied by vendors that sell pre-chipped players. They then add these extra features to the firmware. A plain unmodified player will not respond to these button press combinations.

For more information try Norway based company www.tronika.co.no. If you go to the Sony DVD player section you can either buy a pre-modded player or DIY kit. The only way to make your player multi-region is to either modify the player yourself (not recommended if you are not handy with a soldering iron) or get your hands on a Sony DVD service remote which you may be able to rent for about £40.
