Pretty much all Sony DVD and Blu-ray Players can be unlocked to play DVDs from any region. You just need a ONE FOR ALL remote control and these instructions...
I used the ONE FOR ALL remote (URC-7562)
Use the Key Magic instructions on last page of the remote manual.
1)Put SONY DVD player in standby mode with red light on
2)Type DVD Key on the One for all remote
3)Type and hold Magic Key until two blinks then type 994
4)type Magic key
5)Then type 189 and 1 on the remote (to assign function 189 to the "1" Key)you see two blinks
6)repeat steps 3 and 4
7)Then type 255 and 2 on the remote (to assign function 255 to the "2" Key)you see two blinks
8)repeat steps 3 and 4
9)Then type 095 and 3 on the remote (to assign function 095 to the "3" Key)you see two blinks
10)repeat steps 3 and 4
11)Then type 221 and 4 on the remote (to assign function 221 to the "4" Key)you see two blinks
12)repeat steps 3 and 4
13)Then type 079 and 5 on the remote (to assign function 079 to the "5" Key) you see two blinks
NOW COMES THE FUN PART
With your player in standby mode, use the One for all remote
Type keys 1 2 3 4 5 in sequence
Player displays TIMER OK
