I have just purchased a Sony Home Theatre System and unlike the previous Sony DVDs I have purchased this one is not region-free. Would love to know how /whether this blu ray system can be made region-free. Would be great if I could play a sizeable number of the DVD I have bought on trips to Europe.
Thanks!

Not likely. Almost no BluRay players can be made region free. Add to that the fact that Sony players of all types are among the most difficult in the world to make region free and that combo systems like DVD/VHS and home theater systems almost never can be made region free, well, it's not likely that you will be able to unlock this player.
Note that if you somehow beat these incredible odds and someone has a code to unlock your player for DVD playback, that in no way removes BluRay region restrictions. -
Disappointing new, but really appreciate the feedback jman98

Just an update with regard to my new Sony Blu-ray Home Theatre System... I was recently able to confirm that it is illegal in my country for such devices to be made region-specific and as such Sony have kindly made it region-free! Great news!

I dropped it in the next morning and had it back the same night!
