You'll have to get real lucky to find anyone here with that information.
Traditionally, Sony locks the code in hardware, not software or firmware.
Most Sony devices need to be "chipped": meaning a component (usually an IC) needs to be added to the circuitry.
Just call me Zaphod (or Steve) --- I never should have started using numbers in a screen name but I just can't stop now.

There is a remote hack for changing the region of the unit, you can use a one4all and several other remotes to do it. Look in here
