Buying the right One For All Remote

[El_Scorcho]

Hi

I was wanting to follow the instructions to hack my Sony BDP-S480 Blu Ray player using the instructions listed here:

I realise I need to buy a One For All remote to do the hack but I was just wondering if someone could tell me the right model of remote to buy?
Will any remote work or is it a specific model?

Cheers

Please note that IF this hack works at all for you, it will NOT make your player region for BluRay playback. It will ONLY make it region free for DVD playback. You may be perfectly fine with that, but I just want to be sure you understand that this is in no way a hack for region free BluRay playback.

Hopefully someone with experience will respond. We've had old threads on the subject here and if I remember correctly you do have to buy specific models and you cannot just buy any One For All model. Apparently Sony requires some special key that some of the One For All models lack and the hack will absolutely fail for you without that key. I'm not saying that this is likely, but do understand that this hack"is not 100% guaranteed to work. Even if you get the right model of remote, there is still some small chance that you'll never get the hack to work for you.

Please consider this for the future - if you want region free players of any kind, do NOT buy Sony or Samsung. Period.

Yeah I understand that I will only be able to play multi region DVDs and not Blu Rays but Im fine with that
