Bought Sony HDD DVD Recorder from Amazon - how can I make it multi region (i.e. play Region 1 DVDs) ?

Question

Hi everyone, Amazon stated the Sony RXR HXD 870 was multi region when I bought it but it is infact only Region 2. Rather than have the hassle of returning it to Amazon and searching for another one, does anyone know how this machine can be coded to play Region 1 discs? I remember hearing All4One remotes can do this but how? Cheers!

Good luck!

Answer 2

Your best bet is to search the net for a hack to make it multi region, Ive done this a few times over the years to make DVD players multi region and all have worked. There is a downside in that it can in some cases knacker your machine so if your player is new and described inaccurately when you bought it i would not risk it, send it back and exchange for a multi region better that than trying a hack and ending up with a useless machine.
