Turn on player with no disc inserted and wait for the main menu to appear. Press 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 - The blue light will start flashing on the front panel. Turn player to standby with the sony remote and then turn it on again. It should now be region free.

Hi Dasa:I'm having trouble with your advice on how to change to region 0. I've followed your instructions but end up at the password screen. The region code doesn't appear. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that this region hack doesn't work anymore?LAR

The phone has a region lock on it. You have two options (a) root the phone and use regionlockaway which voids the warranty, (b) get a phone that will work in the region you are going to (not on the blacklist on the customer.xml file). Be very careful. The vendor I bought from (Mercate) shipped a box with the European model with the region restriction label peeled off. These phones are region locked and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

I don't have an answer for you, but I have done some Google searches on this model and noted two things about it. First, there don't seem to be any professional product reviews for it in any publications; only user reviews (like on Amazon.com) are available. Second, some of what I read indicated that the model would be available in the spring, or even the summer of 2010. Clearly, it became available for sale before that. Perhaps it's not "officially" available in some way? One final thought: this model essentially replaces the BDP-N460, which is still on the market and costs more money. I've been surprised that prices have not been slashed on those models. Perhaps Sony does not want to encourage sales of the BDP-S370 until its inventory of N460s is depleted.

I have a OPPO BDP 80 player which has been modified to be region-free for DVD's and Blu-Ray discs. The modification works for DVD's allowing one to play Region 2 DVD's with no problem. However, there is a problem playing Blu-Ray discs other than Region A. For example, the modified player cannot play Region B Blu-Ray discs, even after carefully following the instructions for changing from Region A to Region B. Am posting this comment to know if other owners of region-free modified OPPO BDP 80 players (modified either with a kit or by a third-party source) have had issues playing Blu-Ray discs other than Region A.

Apparently this unit can't be made region-free.I bought the Philips DCP951/37 (saving some bucks), which, like with any Philips DVD player, can be made region-free by punching a few codes (a once in its lifetime operation). The code is easily searchable.Life's too short to deal with the region-lock BS.

I haven't heard anything else regarding unlocking the player anywhere. It's too bad, because it's supposed to have one of the better screens, and the price is low. Meanwhile, I'm living in Korea and watching movies on a crappy old tube television. If I heard of a decent all-region player (10-1/2" +) anywhere that was as good as the LG, I'd snap it up. I guess downloading these files from the internet is always a little risky (and costly!). I ended up having to throw my player out, since it wouldn't play discs anymore, and I was never able to remove the software once I installed it.

If you buy any Sony blu-ray player in the U.S. it will be Region locked - for blu-ray Region A, and for DVD region 1. You can unlock the DVD to play DVD's from other regions, BUT it is pointless with a US player as Sony have NOT include a PAL decoder in any Sony blu-ray player for sale in the U.S. market. An easy way out of the problem, is to buy a region free DVD player (look on ebay) and be satisfied with region A locked blu-ray player - as you can still play blu-ray discs from Europe/UK, if the blu-ray discs themselves are Region Free, (eg. Zulu blu-ray, available amazon.co.uk UK! A lot of blu-ray discs are region free - just check before you buy, Google is your friend...

There is an after market hardware mod that will successfully make it region free. It is user installable externally; but would require a tech to install it permanently internally. I paid $29 for the hardware (it's a small circuit board), & it plugs in externally to 2 ports (1 USB port & if I remember right) also the e-sata port.It works perfectly on dvd, I haven't purchased any Blu-rays that aren't region A yet.

Region A only, however you can buy an adapter on eBay that will make it region free.
