 Region code hack posted by psykix, October 29 2003: | |||
I successfully hacked my DAV-SC8 using a variation on the DAV-S550 hack and a laptop with an IRDA port.. Details (cut and pasted and modified from the DAV-S550 thread, thanks to Stepht, Peter Buscher, Karsten Thomsen :-- 1. Download Winsamp here: http://www.veg.nildram.co.uk/remote13.zip This program will emulate an IR remote on your laptop 2. Extract the package onto a bootable DOS floppy disk. (this step is very important, I tried to use the software directly out of Windows before, but without success) 3. Download this IR code file and place it in the same directory as the package above. This file holds the five necessary IR codes converted to the format used by winsamp.exe. http://www.selen.org/files/REMOTE.TXT 4. Boot up your PC from the floppy disk and run winsamp.exe. If your IRDA port doesn't appear as COM2 you may override this by using an appropriate command line switch. For example, use COM1 by running 'winsamp C1'. 5. Press the 'r' key to load up the codes into winsamp. 6. Turn on the Player. 7. Hold down "EJECT" and "PREV" and and while keeping them pressed press VOLUME +, this should get you into the service menu. 8. Make sure your DVD player is in "Service IN" mode and your IRDA port is within range. 9. Run the IR codes from 1 to 5 by pressing Enter on each corresponding button. 10. Your DVD player should now display "DATA RESET". 11. Press the power button on the player remote. 12. Plug it out for 5-10 seconds. 13. Start it again, and play your region 1 ect. discs !! | |||

After some searching I found this that works, you need a oneforall Kameleon or Mosaic (I used a Mosaic) 1. Add a DVD Device with device code 0533 2. Using key magic feature prog buttons 1-5 with the following codes: 1 - 189 2 - 255 3 - 095 4 - 221 5 - 079 3. Turn player on then press 'EJECT' & 'PREV' buttons together, whilst holding them depressed press 'VOLUME +'. This will take into service in mode. 4. Press the progged buttons on your one for all in order 1 through to 5. 5. Your player should now display 'DATA RESET'. 6. Press the power button on the player. 7. Unplug the power for 5-10 seconds. 8. Plug it back in & enjoy multi region. Got the info here http://www.regionfreedvd.net/player/sony.html | |||
