yeah.. that seems very strange... like they would really DO
that.. a simple code...

however, I think I'll try it...

most dvd players are built zone free, they code them after
depending on where it is gonna be sold. i found the code
for mine on the net... usualy a simple operation to do with
the remote.

yeah... I've also found some info about a firmware-upgrade
that should make it region-free, but I'm not sure... if that
code you posted doesn't work, and I try installing the
firmware-upgrade, and that fucks it up, I'll be in trouble,
'cause the shop can't be held responsible for what I've
downloaded and put in my dvd-player...

I had to do some weird stuff, like opening the dvd-loader,
pressing left-arrow and right-arrow at the same time, etc.

furny.

just for general info. I just went down to the store where I
bought it and asked if it was possible. They said: "yeah..
if you bought it here, it already is zone-free.. we
make them all zone-free before we sell them...", and he also
said that they use the patch from apache.org or something,
so that should work for you if you own a dvd25, and it isn't
alreay zone-free...
