Can`t be done.
Can be hacked at a cost but in my view you`re better off buying a new region-free unit for the same or less money.

It can`t be done because most big brand DVD players are single region only.

You have to actually change the hardware within the machine to make it multi region. This means either buying a kit and soldering it yourself (risky without the experience) or sending your player off to be modified.

I haven`t been in the market for such things for a while now, so don`t really know where the best places are to get it modded. Multi-region magic and Techtronics are two names I remember, but I`m not sure how reliable they are or how expensive.

Most fools think they are only ignorant
