How to reset/set the region code of a dvd player to zero

[dynamota]

Hi All,

I have Sony DVD RW DRU-710A. I recently bought a Japanese anime dvd. I am able to play the dvd on my friends comp, but I cant do it on my home pc(Vista).

The firmware version is BYX3.

Can somebody point me to a solution/patch or hack?

Tx in advance

Have you tried changing the region code via Device Manager? The only other thing that I can come up with is to rip the DVD.
