Hello,

Ive just purchased a Sony bdve880 5.1 all in one surround sound system. Is there anyway that it can be multiregional?

Thanks!
 
Try. The generic Sony one for all hack should work for DVDs only.
 
I have copied this from another thread can't link or quote using the ipad app or at least I don't know how to



I unlocked my EU BDP-S580 with URC-3940.
This should work for different SONY blu-ray/DVD players.
I followed carefully all the instructions above and tried all codes:
0533, 00533, 000533. Same for the other 5 codes but nothing seemed to work.

Here I have outlined the basic requirements to complete this task successfully.
It's for those like me who've found this old post and have spent a good day figuring out
how to work around it with a different One-For-All URC model.

1. You need a universal remote control "One For All" brand with the "DVD" and "Magic" buttons.
I found some: URC-3440, URC-3940, URC-7040, URC-7140, URC-7562, URC-7710, URC-7950
but any OFA RC model with those two buttons should work just fine.

2. If your remote is not one of those mentioned in the post you need to have the manual for that
particular model, or find it in the manufacturer's website. It can be downloaded as a PDF.
Your remote may use 4, 5, or 6 digit codes (see your manual).
Go under DVD codes/Sony and find the one that looks closest to 0533.
Mine was 20533.

3.Programming of the One-For-All remote is done with your SONY device plugged in the power outlet and turned off (Standby mode).

4. Other (SONY) devices connected to the player may interfere with the hack so leave just the TV connected or you can disconnect it as well.
All indications needed for the task are found on the player's display.

5. This hack doesn't work for USA (NTSC) machines.
Possible hardware incompatibility.

(Again this is for the non US BDP-S580 with URC-3940 remote)

1. Now to make your player region free use the SONY remote that came with the player to bring it out of standby (turn on) and wait while HOME is displayed
2. Make sure there isn't a disc in the machine.
3. Now on the One-For-All remote press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (You'll see OK displayed and the blue 24p light on the player will start flashing)
4. Put the player back into standby (turn off) with the SONY remote
5. The next time you turn on the player it will be region free for DVD playback
If the blue 24p light doesn’t flash then it hasn’t worked, try a new set of batteries and start a fresh.
