Page 1 of Remote Control hacks for various Sony players

I found this on a forum. I have not tried on my machine (DVP-S536D) because I don`t have a non - R2 disc to test. Please try it out if you have one of the machines listed and reply.Thanks.

HOW DO I MAKE MY SONY DVP536 MULTI-REGION?The Ultimate DVD Upgrade S735M

The DVD Upgrade is an advanced modification to your DVD player, which adds extra features and enables you to get more from your machine. The upgrade supplements the DVD player and in no way harms the playback quality or removes any performance features of the machine.

Players Supported

The following DVD players are supported by this version of the DVD Upgrade:

Sony DVP-S335
Sony DVP-S336
Sony DVP-S345
Sony DVP-S360
Sony DVP-S435
Sony DVP-S535D
Sony DVP-S536D
Sony DVP-S560D
Sony DVP-S570D
Sony DVP-S735D
Macrovision & CGMS disable

All DVD players have a system called Macrovision built in to the player, which is designed to stop the copying of DVD discs to video. However, this system can have adverse affects on some projectors. For this reason the DVD MOD Upgrade disables Macrovision to solve any problems.

After inserting the disk, the player will display on the front panel all region codes allowed by the disk and the region code selected by the modification. A region 2 disc would show -2- - - - - - 2.
