Help: Yamaha DVD-S510 Firmware+Codefree

[LPacor]

Hello everybody,

I own a Yamaha DVD-S510 DVD player and I'd have a copuple of questions about it.

First of all I would like to update the firmware: how do I find out which version of firmware I have on my Yamaha DVD-S510, where can I find the latest version and what do I have to do (I have read something somewhere on the Net but I can not remember ...)?

Then I would like to unlock it, that means: make it region free (it is a region 2 unit at the moment). I have tried with <PLAY> 159 222 222 005 255 <PLAY> but it did not work: I had to remove the power cord to switch it off!!
I have read that the unit can be hacked using a one for all 6 remote with the code URC-7560: is it the only way? I would not like to buy a remote I only have to use once ...

Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance.


All the best
LP
