dvd player pioneer dv-233(purhased over seas)

[dunpeal]

HI all,

Inquiring on the dvd player-pioneer dv-233 model (gold color). Back of the player says "region 3". It was given to me as a gift. It was purchased from Hong Kong but unfortunately, it cannot play DVD's and has no manual. Living in Canada (which is region 1, I believe), I would like to know if the regions of the DVD player can be changed and as well if there is an online manual.

Would like to know if I can modify the region before I need to purchase another DVD player?

Thank you for help in advance!
