Try This Hack...although I think the Hack is for a Player Purchased in Region 2 ...The Codes in Step 3 may need to be different if you Player has been Purchased in another Region.
1 Without Disk , Press '0' (Zero) 4 ~ 5 Times.
2 Press 'Repeat' Button on Remote Control (Do NOT confuse yourself with the "Repeat A-B" Button)
3 Press 3,8,7,6,7
4 After that you can see current Region Code in Upper Left Side Of Screen.
5 Press '9' and The Current Region Code will be changed into 9 ( Region Free)
6 Press 'Open' 'Close'
N.B In Step 1 you will need to Press the '0' (Zero) Key a Second or Two apart to get it to work first time...the Current Region Code and 9 will only flash on screen for a couple of Seconds
As you have not stated which is the Region of your Player to start with, here are the Codes for the others ...you may have to substitute the code in step 3 with one of these if your player is Not Region 2 Purchased.
RC 1: 2, 9, 3, 3, 4
RC 2: 3, 8, 7, 6, 7 (or 5,7,5,3,8 )
RC 3: 5, 6, 7, 3, 2
RC 4: 7, 6, 8, 8, 4
RC 5: 5, 3, 8, 1, 4
RC 6: 2, 4, 4, 6, 2
Let the Forum Know if it works ...or not
Happy Hacking
