Hi everyone.

Does anyone out there know how to make a Pioneer DVR-645H-S DVD Recorder region free.
I've got one sitting in my lounge, but it's a little frustrating that I can only use it for region 4 DVD's!

Cheers

Hopefully not in breach of anything...

Bit of google-foo found this. But the most hits were 'too bad, can't' So don't expect too much (nor blame me if it breaks something)

Turn On unit and remove any disc in the tray

Press the Setup button on the remote control.

Move over to General using the arrow keys

Select Basic

Press Display - this will display your region and firmware version.

Press Condition/Memory (nothing is displayed or changed on the screen)

Press the Region # required (i.e. 2 for Region 2, 0 for multi etc)

Press Menu to store

Its also listed here as working with the generic Pioneer changing IR codeset. For that, you on your own.
