    Stand-alone is Sony NS725P which is region free (supports 1-6). DVD when input, comes up with error that Playback prohibited due to area restrictions. DVD Decryptor shows DVD says it supports regions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Could that 7 & 8 be causing the problem? How can I recode the DVD to modify the region, if so?

    Thanks.

    Region 7&8 are not used in commercial DVDs.

    7 is reserved, and 8 is for special venues like on airplanes for in-flight movies, concerts, cruise ships, etc... Basically used when the manufacturer wants to show the film in public, but does not want the disk used by individuals.
