dvd code to multi region my sony dvp-ns39

[fcooper]

Can anyone help me please? I want to change my dvd so I can play dvd's sent to us from America. I was told you can obtain a code to change it to multi region so they will play. Thanks in advance

Some DVD and BluRay players can NEVER be made region free.

Sony and Samsung make the most difficult to unlock players at this time. If you can't find a code for your player, it may be because there isn't one. If you lived in North America I'd tell you that as far as I know Sony doesn't make even one player right now for sale there that can be unlocked, but since you live in the UK your chance of unlocking this is maybe 5% instead of 0%.

Are these American DVDs commercially-produced movies, or home recorded discs? If it is the latter, homemade DVD R discs are region free already. If they are commercial releases, you have the option of making DVD backup copies that are region free, if you have a DVD burner on your computer. A software tool like DVDFab can accomplish that.

So, you have alternatives to trying to hack your player.

You cannot unlock a Sony DVP-NS39 with the standard remote. You MIGHT be able to do it with a Sony factory service remote, or a One For All programmable remote, or a laptop with an IRDA port to enter specific codes. Or you could buy a purpose built remote from a specialist shop to do the job (about £20)
