Hi - Does anyone know how I can make this machine multi-region? Thanks

[kdx]

I can confirm that the method linked below for the Sony RDR-GXD360 worked on mine. In that I can now play region 1 and 2. Haven't tested for other regions because I don't believe I have any other disc types. I am pretty sure it is region free though from reading the threads here.

Sony RDR - HX510 Region Free Hack

As said somewhere else the REMOTE.TXT file mustn't contain spaces in the numbers, no word wrapping and there should be a carrage return ie [enter] after the last line (line 5) in the file. I have uploaded the file that worked for me.

I'd also like to point out that it was after step 9 that I got the "TIMER OK" message.

Hope this helps anyone interested.

Thanks goes to the useful people here.


@ Admin, Mods- I thought I saw a library type thread somewhere listing all the different models region decoding was available for. For some reason I can't find that now, so please update/move/edit this post as you see fit.

Thanks again.

I have recently moved to the UK from the US and purchased a GXD360. I am trying to play my US DVDs. I did the infrared download of the file and recieved the "Timer OK" message. However, when I try to play a US DVD I still get the message "Playback prohibited by region code". What else do I need to do?

I did make several attempts to get to the point of "Timer OK" ... you did run the codes through twice as per instructions? (can't remember what I did exactly now). Sorry, no help really.

Go to any SONY shop and they'll make it REGION free, like my SONY recorder. They charged £10 and it takes approx 2 mins. You can't do it yourself with the remote supplied

Unplug it from the mains to store the new settings! Otherwise it won`t work.

I was recently given this from a mate, which for me is fine, as it's multi region for playing, but when recording from an NTSC VHS, it displays a grey screen and a black bar.

Is there a hack that can make it multi region recordable? Any help is appreciated.
