My Pioneer DVR 110D?

Question

My Pioneer DVR110d has not worked since i bought it off some guy who advertised it in the Classifieds. He reckoned he bought it but never used it. When im looking at its region in Device Manager i see its encoded to region 2. I live in Australia, which im pretty sure is region 4. Is this the reason why discs arent being recognised? The actual drive appears in my computer and is installed instantly, but whenever i click on it just says, "insert disc".

Answer 1

You are usually allowed to change the region 4 times after originally setting it. You do this in device manager (assuming Windows XP)

Alternatively, download region-free firmware here:
