Sony DAV-S500 region free

Recommended Posts

Hehehehehe!!!

 

When I bought my Sony DAV-S500 I was under the impression that it would only pay region 4 discs (Australian purchase).

 

However I have a region 1 copies of "The Patriot" and "The Green Mile" and decided to give them a go, and good golly miss molly it works without a hitch. Only thing different is that the display on the unit shows "NTSC".

 

A win today for the consumer.

True for DVD drives.

I should have mentioned that this is a home theatre system.

Sorry 'bout that.

hmm, i've seen two of my mates dvd players, offer this choice.

they are the only two with disks from other regions, so i just assumed it was standard to the drive mechanism (or electrics) rather than something just put into a computer drive.

 

but interesting anyway. thanks.
