It cannot be done. The Decode is different for each region. USA is falling behind in this technology.

This model is apparently hardwired to play only Region 1 (USA, Canada, Bermuda and US Territories) or All-region disks. (Some of the older players allowed you to change the region up to five times; on the fifth change, the last region selected becomes permanent.) You would need to get a Region 4 player to play Brazilian DVDs. Note: the region refers only to the area where the disks are sold; you can take Region 1 disks to Brazil and play them on this unit so long as you don't have trouble with import laws.

It is theoretically possible to hack the firmware to defeat or change the region code, but you would probably have to change the ROM chip to a custom-programmed ROM to do it. You could probably buy another DVD player for much less than the cost of the equipment needed to do the hack.

NEED TO HAVE REGION 2 ON MY SONY DVD PLAYER DVP-FX810 THAT I BOUGHT IN THE USA ? REGION 1 . THANK YOU .

Sorry, it's not possible. The DVP-FX810 is one of many Sony players where the region coding cannot be hacked without making internal hardware changes. To do so is not cost effective when you can buy perfectly good multi region (or at least hackable players) brand new for £30 including a few Sony models which can be hacked (e.g the excellent DVP5980 with progressive scan, USB input, DivX and HDMI upscaling, still widely available at clearance outlets for under £30).

If you want hackable players avoid Sony and Panasonic unless you have found a model specific hack prior to purchase as many of them have the same limitation.

Sorry there's no fix on this occasion, but I hope that you've found my reply to be of some use. All I ask in return is that you rate my answer.
