    Hello

    I have a Pioneer DV-410V DVD player. It's set to region 2, and I want to make it region-free.

    My motherboard does not have an irda connector, and I don't have a laptop or palm.

    I found this product
    http://www.ciao.com/ST_Lab_USB_IRDA_infrared_adapter__15354426
    but I don't know whether it will work on my Windows 98SE system with its 1.1 usb port. They say it will, but I'd like to be more sure before I buy it, since I've had false promises told me before.

    But even if the product will work on my computer, I don't understand what to do once I get it. Someone posted instructions on the internet that show how to modify the firmware to make the DVD player region-free, but the instructions don't tell me how I'm supposed to modify the ini files - how do I find them on the DVD player?

    I am posting below the instructions I'm referring to. Thank you
    ========

    First you have to modify some ini files:

    1) Remove the following strings from netirsir.inf:

    %*PNP0510.DevDesc% = PNP, *PNP0510
    %*PNP0511.DevDesc% = PNP, *PNP0511

    and replace

    ExcludeFromSelect=*PNP0510,*PNP0511,*IBM0002,*IBM0 034,*IBM0020

    to

    ExcludeFromSelect=*IBM0002,*IBM0034,*IBM0020

    2) Add to msports.inf to section [Std]:

    %*PNP0510.DeviceDesc% = ComPort, *PNP0510, *PNP0511 ; Communications Port
    %*PNP0511.DeviceDesc% = ComPort, *PNP0511, *PNP0510 ; Communications Port

    to section [Strings]:

    *PNP0510.DeviceDesc = "Generic Ir Serial Port"
    *PNP0511.DeviceDesc = "Generic Ir Serial Port"

    add

    ExcludeFromSelect=*PNP0510,*PNP0511

    to section [ControlFlags]

    When you do this windows will recognise irda port as : Generic Ir Serial Port
    If you modified the ini files and windows didn't recognise your irda port as Generic Ir Serial Port then remove the irda port and restart your pc. Windows will now find a new hardware (Generic Ir Serial Port) and install it.

    Then type the following in a text file:

    576
    end RAW_codes

    end remote

    # END END END END END END END

    Save this text file under the name pioneer.conf

    Then download Winlirc from http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/
    Put the following settings in winlirc:
    Reciever type: RX
    Virtual Pulse: 300
    Speed: 115200
    Transmitter Settings: Unselect hardware carrier and select TX
    Config: Choose the pioneer.conf file

    When you do all these, close the settings page. Choose Pioneer remote and then click: "Send Code"

    Thanks, but there are two firmwares listed there:

    * YJB8223B
    * YJB8507B

    Which one do I use? I live in Israel, and it's a region 2 player I bought here.

    Thank you
