I had the same problem, I got into the menu but couldn't set the
region. Searching a little on the www I found the following guide to
hacking the region:
http://www.firmware-flash.com/ ~hijacker/kiss/ I used the "Method 1" flashing of the dvd drive, and after rebooting
the dvd player (power off/on) I was able to set the region in the menu
you get by the method above.
However after flashing the dvd drive the DVR-50 started behaving funny
(opening drawer, changing radio station, adjusting volume on its own).
I've tried to install the original firmware that you also can find at
this web site, but haven't yet found out wether this has cured the
problem.
Good Luck !
