A. Will the following procedure work on a factory-fresh unit?

1. Turn off the unit.
2. While holding the fast-forward button on the unit itself, press the power button.
3. Do you see any options either on the unit itself or on the TV screen regarding Pal, NTSC, or AUTO? I understand this works for European models.
B. Can any of the inexpensive Logitech remotes make it multi-region compatible? Thanks.
