chiefie: I can find region hack for unlocking DVD for BDP-S350 but not BDP-3500. Can you check if the model is correct?

andrew027: I don't know if Sony produce DVD region-free blu-ray players, but I bought mine directly from the Sony store in Wellington a few years ago (can't remember the model number off the top of my head) and the guy in the store said that Sony sets them to region-free for DVDs when they arrive in the country, and mine certainly has been since I got it as I have played Region 1 and 2 DVDs on it without any hacking.

broonie27: Does anyone know of a Blu-Ray player (preferably Sony) which is DVD region free. I bought a Sony BDP-S3100 from Harvey Norman in July 2014 which was DVD region free but it was faulty so I took it back. Harvey Norman sent it off to Sony who then called me to say they would replace it with a BDP-3500 but they said the replacement unit was not region free. I told them the one I had was region free but they said to me they don't (and never have ) produced region free DVD players - which clearly isn't the case. Very frustrating as 90% of my DVDs are region 2.
scuwp: I thought by law they were not able to sell region-free devices. Most if not all have a simple process (normally found on-line, or at one shop they gave me a separate instruction sheet) using a combination of buttons on the remote to unlock the region block. Perhaps times have changed, haven't purchased a DVD player in a couple of years.

All the Sony DVD players and recorders I've purchase in NZ were Region Free when purchased. My Panasonic ones weren't but I had them converted to region free by Panasonic Service Agent free of charge on production of purchase receipt. Blu Ray region free is a whole different problem and I haven't needed region free Blu- Ray anyway.

That's interesting. I asked Harvey Norman if they had any other Sony DVD players that were region-free and they said no. I think what I'll do is just take a region 2 disc into the shop before I buy the player.
Incidentally, Sony offered me a 90% refund because they couldn't provide me with a similar device which was quite decent of them as the my player was 1 month out of warranty.

A region 1 disk would be better test..
