Unlock region code on Sony CD/DVD Player DVP-NS57P

All Sony NS series DVD players are supposed to be region free. You can take your player to a Sony Authorized repair center and they can set it to 4 (EU) or universal region free.

You can however, try this. Its a bit confusing in reading but I read many success efforts, just don't freak when the disc tray starts opening and closing, repeat steps 3 and 4 and it will stop.

1 - Take any DVDs out of the player and turn it off.



2 - In the remote control Press the following buttons, one by one,
in the following order: Display, Top Menu, Clear, Power. A service menu
should appear on screen.



3 - Slect option 2 (Drive Manual Operation), then option 4 (Tray
Aging Mode). The screen will now show two input lines, each with 5 digits
(the first one is Input Count, and the second is Current Count).



4 - Use the code 12450 in the first line, press enter, than use 00000 (five zeros) for the second line and press enter again.



5 - Here is where the Disc-Loader start to open and close. Let it happen at will.



6 - All you have to do here is to repeat steps 3 and 4 with the codes 00000 and 00000 for the first and second lines.

You should be region free now.
Let me know how this works out for you in addition to rating it fixed. I'd like to know if there were any nuances you encountered that could make this procedure more clear.

Thanks,
