I picked up this player (JVC XV-S502SL) a few weeks ago, and it's damn near perfect (Converts PAL to NTSC, plays SVCD, Progressive Scan, etc.) and was wondering if there was a hack to make it region free.

I'm familiar with the JVC "unplug from socket and press a button on front of player while plugging back in" method of accessing the service menu, but I have no idea what to do in there. None of the other JVC hacks apply here.

If anybody knows of a hack, please post one.

The player also goes under XV-S500BK (The black model)

Thanks,
