 Region code hack posted by cr1100, January 31 2007: | |||
THIS WORKED on my RDR-HXD860s, region 2 unit. It is necessary to use a "one for all" or similar programmable remote control with a DVD or Aux button in addition to TV, to carry out this hack. Note: my old "Cinema 7" OFA Remote Controller (URC-7201) has a “Setup” button in place of a “Magic” button. >>>>>>>>> FIRST of all, set the DVD recorder command mode to "DVD1":=> * Switch on SONY DVD recorder and point its remote at it * System-Menu -> Setup -> Options -> Command-Mode * Select DVD1 * Press and hold both the ENTER and number “1” buttons for more then 3 secs * Close, then exit * Put DVD recorder on standby To set the DVD button’s code in the URC-7201 OFA remote for SONY DVDs:=> * Press the DVD device key on OFA remote * Press & Hold the SETup key until the LED flashes twice * Enter 0533 (device code for Sony DVDs) and the LED flashes twice. * Verify that recorder can be controlled by both remotes (Power on, play, etc) * Power off (standby) the DVD recorder Now program function code 189 into number key "1" of the OFA remote:=> Press “DVD” device button on the OFA remote 1. Hold SETup button until the LED flashes twice 2. Press 994 (code to reassign number-keys’ codes) 3. Press SETup button (don't hold) > To assign function 189 to the number "1" Key) 4. Press 189 1 - LED’s double flash indicates success Now program function codes into number keys “2” – “5”, repeating steps 1-4 above for each number key:=> 1. Hold SETup button until the LED flashes twice 2. Press 994 (code to reassign number-keys’ codes) 3. Press SETup button (don't hold) 4. Use the following to set codes for number keys “2” – “5”, in each repetition of steps 1-4; > 255 2 for the number “2” key > 095 3 for the number “3” key > 221 4 for the number “4” key > 079 5 for the number “5” key The OFA is now ready to send the special codes via its number "1" - "5" keys, to the SONY DVD recorder. Actual conversion of the DVD recorder to region-free:=> * Remove mains cable from DVD recorder for 10 seconds, then replace * Power on and then OFF, with DVD remote not the switch on the DVD recorder * Point OFA remote at the recorder. * Press keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - "WELCOME" is displayed, and recorder starts up * Power off and then on with DVD remote * Press keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - recorder goes back to standby - "TIMER ON" is displayed The RDR-HXD860 DVD recorder is now multi-region. Clear the OFA RC's re-coded keys by removing its batteries for a while. Note:- If the codes do not load into the OFA controller (correct loading is indicated by the controller LED flashing twice), place 00 in front of them i.e. 00189 1; 00255 2 etc. and try again. | |||
