I need the unlock code for a sanyo dx405. it won't play any of my region one stufff unless i unlock it.

You need to change the region code in the user menu under dvd settings.

hmmm..well...let's see what we're up to here..do you have the user manual, or do you need that?

1. Leave eject tray open
2. Enter 1369 (default password) and screen will show XXXX
3. Enter 0 for multi-region or what ever region number you wish.

Note: if you take to long to enter code, X's will disappear, but still continue to enter rest of number.

Hi,

You would not be able to Play Region 2 DVD unless you could unlock it.

Let me know, if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Your instruction manual for the Sony system will tell you what region DVDs it will play.  Also the back of the receiver unit will have a number that says what region it will play.  Look on the back of the DVD cases and they will have a region number.  Your player needs to match these numbers in order to play, unless the DVD is region 0, which means it can play on any DVD player. You can buy region free players on e-bay, which means the IT folks have tinkered around inside the DVD players to turn off the region coding.

Short answer...yes, would you like to invest what would likely be days learning the process? There may be a mod ship out there somewhere, but unless you are willing to modify the PS3 in someway that would likely void any warranties, then you're going to have to find a DVD for your region. A mod without a chip would involve installing linux in addition to the OS that the playstation comes with. I'm sure the process has gotten easier since I last checked, but I found it too painstaking.

TO UNLOCK NEC NDT-44A

1. Press EJECT

4. Press PAUSE

(I feel like I just won the lottery!)

1.) Turn on the player and open the drive tray
2.) Enter 8286* (* being the region you want to switch to, 0 for region-free)
3.) A message should appear on the screen saying "Change to region *" the * being the region entered in step 2
4.) Close the tray, enjoy
