Page 1 of SONY D-V7000 WON`T PLAY!!

A friend of mine brought back this bargain from India; it`s a small DVD player that looks standard. But so far he can`t get it to play anything from Blockbuster or any of my Region 1 or 2 DVDs, now that he is back in this country. Any ideas?

Sounds like its probably set to region 3 or 4 which covers that
part of the world.

OK so now someone tells me it could be set to Region 3 or 4 (India?!); I didn`t know there was aRegion 3 and 4 - is this a wind up!!

If not then can someone tell me how to hack a Region 3 or 4 DVD.

HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!

i think you may find this is only a video cd player not a dvd player...hence it wont play any dvd`s only vcd`s that are a popular format in the far east.

I have 1 of these and know this for a fact. check the instructions...no mention of dvd`s and no dvd logos
