Sony DAVS500 Region Free?

[tannersarms]

Hi,
I just found out my parents have bought one of these systems from the local Fenwicks (too late for me to see if they could have got it cheaper elsewhere) but I noticed the techtronics sell a model that is region free, so I presume there's a hack or other method of getting it to play other regions. I did a search on here and on google but didn't come up with anything, so any advice?

I think its chip only.

DVDChips (blue banner down there) have a no solder mod available for it though

Yes .. leaves no ( visible) trace

I'll try and get him to go for one of those then (and thanks KCXDEV, for once again being the first to help me out, I think this is 3 in a row!).
That said, he reckons he can patch it using a CD, from my understandings, that'll only work with earlier versions of this model, and we'll need to open the machine up to find out which chip it has in, right?

I think it's safe to say that this is nonsense
