How to remove the region code in a Sony HXD970?

[bernardb]

I tried the the one below using a Philips Universal SBC RU 545 (where the magic button would be "1" and "3" pressed at the same time) but the process described below did not work. Anyone an idea on how to remove the region code on that one?

I used same procedure as freaky-deek in this post: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/sony-rdr-hx725/6879

The remote was a One For All Robusto 3 (URC-3435)

If you get tempted you could also try my HDD upgrade which is also featured at the same site

When you say after "have it a go":

remove disk

Do you mean remove the hard drive of the device or any DVD inside the device?

It means just any DVD. You do understand that the hack won't work with your remote, only a UEI remote (one-for-all, etc.), right? HERE's the whole list of remotes that will likely work.
