Changing the region code of DVD-Drive

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Yes, most are.  Search the Internet with google, there's many websites
that have patched firmware that locks out the region coding.  One of the
first things I do when buying a new DVD is to flash it with patched
firmware
that disables region codes.
