Hi there,

I just bought a Pioneer A05 SZ and before even playing anything on it, I want to make it region free.

I downloaded the firmware from dvd-digest.com, but it says that in order for the firmware to run properly, the DVD needs to be installed on secondary master. I have istalled it as slave, together with a Hard disk, however I don't know if it's secondary or priary master.

1) Is there away to find it out ?

2) I don't want to re-assemble my PC to install the DVD as secondary master (i don't know how to do that either !!!). Is there a way to make it region-free ?

3) The DVD allows me to change the region for five times and then it locks up. Can I do it region-free after it has locked up or should I perform the firware upgrade before the DVD locks ?

Thx in advance.

Someone who has actually managed to do his A05SZ region-free would really help here but of course, every other person's opinion is really appreciated.

Thx again.
