Sony S6500

[Ruby81]

Hi guys. I bought Sony S6500 from USA and seller send me region A instead of region free. Is there any way hack region lock? ‫I saw one post that is saying I need one for all remote control with magic key. Is there another way?
Thanks

Even most of the "magic key, all for one remote" hacks are bullshit.

You mean that it is not working?

The very first one posted was reported as not working.....PLUS you are asking about Region A (actually Zone A). That means you are looking for a Blu Ray "hack".....not gonna happen at home.....especially on a Sony.

Possible to do that only to DVDs?

Blu Ray hacks require hardware modification.

OK but I am gonna use DVD disks only. I read somebody did hack DVD region lock.

You are just banging your head against the wall on this.....especially with a Sony.
Decades ago Sony used to make CD players that refused to accept/play CD-Rs(home-made CDs).

Think about it:

Buyers must shop carefully when purchasing a Blu-ray player in the U.S.A. Region-free Blu-ray players sold in the U.S.A. are often only region-free for DVD.

If region-free for Blu-ray is available, it is usually as an option for which the store charges an extra fee. Making a Blu-ray player region free seems to require hardware modifications (chip replacement) and possibly custom firmware. It is not something that an ordinary person can do at home.
