Review on Sony Multi Region 3D Blu Ray DVD Player with Dual Voltage – Upgraded Version, Including 6 Feet HDMI Cable by Michael Vargas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great player and great customer service

First, DO NOT do any firmware updates unless specifically directed to do so by the company that made this multi-region player. The player worked as advertised. Plays both Region B and Region 2 discs. Make sure you find the little cheat sheet included in the box to change the region. I updated the firmware which caused the player to completely lose the SD multi-region feature. Blu-ray Region B is still playing. I contacted the company listed below on their cheat sheet and they responded very quickly asking for my name and Revain order number to ensure I am who I say I am. After verification they sent me a PDF with a link to download the zipped custom firmware file. I extracted the files according to the PDF instructions, burned them onto a CD-R and loaded them into the Sony S5100 player. It recognized the firmware file and prompted me to upgrade. After the update was completed, the player started supporting multiple regions again.

Pros
  • Handy stuff
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
