LOSE.

I went out with kastra today to look for used, cheap goods for my apartment. I found a nice DVD player in a recycle shop, and I bought it with the idea that I could find the hack code and unlock it to make it multi-region. Well there isn't a code, least not one I can find. And I don't have a Tsutaya or a Geo near me, so no Japanese rental DVDs for me. Boo...now I have a useless DVD player.

Anyone know how to hack a Sony DVP-NS53P Japanese DVD player? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There should be a way! I'll look in to it... try using the remote, opening the dvd tray and press 0 five times. I think you then press 5 and it should be multi-region.

That's for the LG players we have, but I'm sure something similar is in place for sony. Ooh, a challenge!

;__; It didn't work.

Challenge! *eye glint*

My bad, you can't hack it with the remote provided. Closest I got:

Which probably doesn't help, because you can use google just as well as me. ;3

Sadness! I don't even know where I'd get an All-in-One remote!

Sounds crazy! :( Why'd sony have to be so complicated?!

I'll keep looking into it... we might even have all-in-one's at work, you never know. ;3

If so, I will pay for it. I just wanna watch DVDs is all! Is that too much to ask for?!!

[sarahofcroydon.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'd just get you to cover shipping. ;3 I don't want to get your hopes up, but I'll ask the guys as well, they're usually pretty good. :)

Good god. Might be worth a shot if you're bored (and still have an A drive, lol)

Ah, I have no A-drive. I read that site over and over again trying to figure out if I could get past the A-drive thing, but it looks like I can't. >__>;;

I think I need some alcohol to drown my troubles...
