Sony DAV-S500 region free
This is a discussion about Sony DAV-S500 region free in the Slack Space category; 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.

A win today for the consumer.

err, like doesnt it take the drive something 5 different regions before it will lock down onto what is the then currently being played region ?
OP
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.
