This is for macrovision, but should allow you to change region at will:
Introduction
The DVD Upgrade is an advanced modification to your DVD player, which adds extra features and enables you to get more from your machine. The upgrade supplements the DVD player and in no way harms the playback quality or removes any performance features of the machine.
Players Supported
The following DVD players are supported by this version of the DVD Upgrade:
Sony DAV-C700
Sony DAV-S400
Sony DAV-S500
Sony DAV-S800
Sony CMT-S9D
Macrovision & CGMS disable
All DVD players have a system called Macrovision built in to the player, which is designed to stop the copying of DVD discs to video. However, this system can have adverse affects on some projectors. For this reason the DVD MOD Upgrade disables Macrovision to solve any problems.
