You can mod this for multiregion, but there are no "free" methods, you`ll need to pay!
As you have not bought this yet, theres no reason not to buy it pre-modded via a specialist dealer, theres plenty out there, either a pricerunner search, or check the sponsors of the forums for more info.

Yeap you`ll usually get a full warranty that was with a new "modded" unit also.

That's a good price.
I just saw it in the Argos sale bulletin today, special offer of £350!
Bargain, not !

I taped Coronation Street tonight for the missus.
When I went to the 'programme selection' screen it names it automatically which is quite cool, but where does it get the info from?

Thinking about it I do not think I got a region free one so any ideas where I can get a hack for this player.
I'm going to be retiring my Sony DVP-S735D DVD player that is currently multi-region. The main use for this recorder will be for recording from my Sky digibox. I've got a media center PC that I use for playing back my DVD's in 720p on my Sony LCD TV.
There may well be times when I want to playback a non region 2 DVD and not bother with the PC and I really do not see the point in having 2 stand alone DVD playback devices & a PC hooked up.
Thanks in advance
Grant

I phoned the company up that I ordered the recorder from and they are sorting it out for me £20 extra on top of the unit price. I did find a website called http://www.multi-region.co.uk
They rent special programmed remotes that will make most DVD players multi-region.
