Unzoning Sony bluray/dvd player

[erzane]

Hi,
Pls, how can I unzone those two bluray/dvd players: BDP-S1500 & BDP-S1700?
I bought them in Switzerland and when I'm trying to read US BRs or DVDs, only a few works, but with most of them the message is the following: ''this disc is inteded for playback in region A only''.
Thanks!

Sony dvd / bluray players are the most difficult players to make region free.
your best bet is to buy one that is already region free - https://www.220-electronics.com/region-free-dvd-players.html

I'd like but all my stuffs is Sony, so it's easier for me to use the remote. You say it's difficult, but possible?

Buy a special remote control off eBay.

look on ebay for a Sony Blu-ray Player Multiregion hack remote.
it may only work for the DVD side of the player
your best bet is to buy one pre chiped

Btw, they says the S1700 is region free but mine don't play zone 1 US
