Hacking your Sony without a Palm! Just use us PC/Laptop with a IRDA port :-) http://www.selen.org/sonydvd.html | |||

One thing I forgot to mention: You have to enter the seq. 1-2-3-4-5 twice!!! After the first time "success" will be displayed. After the second time it works ;-) | |||

The hack as mentioned with Sony NS-305 with the use of Omniremote software / palm V worked beautifully on this player also. I've used the sony_dvd_hack.pdb file from http://dev0_2000.tripod.com/ This unit (ns-330) does not have light when in standby mode. I've used the following procedure: dvdplayer in standby (no lights whatsoever) pushed buttons 1,2,3,4,5 on the palm in this order (not twice as stated on the website) player shows "succes" in the display turned player off and on AND SUCCESS!!!! My region 2 player now plays region 1 also! | |||

The PC/Laptop with IrDA setup is not all that obvious. - You'd better use an old laptop with Windows 95 as it has a real DOS mode. W2K or XP will not work. You may need to reinstall the IrDA stack : Go to Microsoft site and look for WIN95IR.EXE download. That's the easiest way to apply the hack. - One alternative : Making a boot diskette with IrDA support, but it is not a simple business, not at all. You may however try and find some hints at www.bootdisk.com - You may have to enter the BIOS setup to activate the IrDA device. it's often disabled to spare the batteries. It worked for me but I am familiar with computers and have easily access to extra (old) resources. | |||

Using the setup of the simple IR-control for serial port on http://home.hccnet.nl/m.majoor/projects__remote_control.htm and the program pronto http://home.hccnet.nl/m.majoor/pronto.zip It worked using the codes from the post of ns305 4th. post these codes: Button name-1 0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01AE Button name-2 0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01F6 Button name-3 0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01F6 Button name-4 0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01C6 Button name-5 0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 020E - Started pronto with the prontocom.bat batch-file - pasted the first buttondata and validated (not sure validation's necessary) sent it twice - did the same for buttons 2 to 5 sending each twice. - The player displays success didn't work when I tried an R1, so I put the player in standby (disc still in) and did it all over again (sending each databutton twice. - The player displayed succes again and began to play the DVD. I build the IR-controller for less than 3EUR/USD / 2GBP including diode, wire and COMconnector. A whole lot cheaper than purchasing a palmtop. | |||

I can confirm that the http://dev0_2000.tripod.com/ region hack did work on my Aiwa XD-AX10 which is a clone of the Sony DVPNS330 (but £30 cheaper at £59.99 side by side at Empire). | |||

Used my Palm M105 with Omniremote software and the sony_dvd_hack.pdb file from http://dev0_2000.tripod.com/ Worked perfectly! The NS-330 unit does not have light when in standby mode. I used the following procedure: DVD player in standby (no lights whatsoever) pushed buttons 1,2,3,4,5 on the palm in this order (NOT twice as stated on the website) player shows "succes" in the display turned player off and on It now plays both region 2 and region 1 disks fine! | |||

This does indeed work as indicated. However, I had to do it twice, and omitted the button 5 with the actual remote control power buttion, as button 5 should turn on the dvd player, but didn't in my case | |||

Hi there, just made my sony DVP-NS333 code free, was code 2. Used my PALM IIIxe and the omniremote software and codes mentioned for the DVP-NS330 and others. Tried the business with putting the player in standby (no lights on) and then buttons 1 through 5 twice. DIDN't work. DID work pressing buttons 1 - 4 twice and then button 5 once. Got the success message and played a code 1 DVD. Maybe this will work for other players where you guys havn't had success. Button 5 just seems to be the on/off! | |||

http://www.selen.org/sonydvd.html It worked on my DVP-NS330! I used my laptop (with IR) and a simple DOS floppy to do the trick. Had to experiment around a bit to find out the IR is on COM3 on my laptop. Tried the Pronto thing with my Ipaq, but had no success with that... | |||

Service Mode entry! Hello! I have discovered the service Menu on this player. You enter it by doing the following: Press Power to start it up with no disc in the player. Press Power to turn it off Press Return Press Clear Now Press Power again and it will start up in Service Mode indicated for a short while with Service Mod in the players Display.You will be presented with a blue service menu. I have dicovered that by selecting System Config hitting 0 and then in the next menu select Region pressing 5 that a menu showing the Players current Region is displayed. I have not yeat detected how to change it or if it is even possible to do so from the service menu. I will continue to experiment and I hope that someone here with more experience on Service menus maybe will find out if it is possible. But be carefull you do not want to mess anything up!. Sincerely Joakim Agren! | |||

To Nemo, I had a problem with the PAL to NTSC too! Is your dvd player currently attached via scart to the back of any other equipment such as a digital reciver if it is connect the dvd player straight to the back of your tv >> it worked for me!!! all the best | |||

I used oneforall 4 in one kameleon(urc-8040) remote to make my ns705 region free. just follow these steps: prepare (this makes sure your remote is configured for your sony DVD player): 1. select dvd device on remote 2. hold magic button until rabbit comes out 3. enter device code 0533 Now we need to program buttons 1..5 (you may want to use the buttons with roman numbers at the bottom of the remote, and use another button for V, which doesn't exist) with the following codes, read below for instructions: 1 - 00189 2 - 00255 3 - 00095 4 - 00221 5 - 00079 This is how you program those numbers: 1. Hold magic button until rabbit comes out. 2. Press 994. 3. Press magic (don't hold). 4. Enter 5 digit code from above. 5. Press button (1..5) where to program it. 6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for all keys. That works, but more information on macros is included in the one4all manual for you particular model. Have a go: 1. Remove disk, put player on standby. 2. Press 1,2,3,4,5 - SUCCESS is displayed and player starts up. 3. Press 1,2,3,4,5 - player shuts down and BINGO! Should work for most of the dvp-ns### players. | |||

Just a quick note to say that URC 7030 (universal remote) hack, for DVP-NS330, listed by Dave, works a treat! It didn't work first time, not quite sure why, but I persevered and SUCCESS was displayed on player. If it doesn't work after a few attempts, as listed by Dave, try the following. (When typing in the no.s 1-5 try 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5 instead of 1,2,3,4,5 repeated twice.) Goo luck! | |||

If anyone is interested, I have a new URC7030 universal remote which is programmed to hack the Sony DVP-NS330 to multiregion status. For a small fee I will mail it to you, on loan, with full instructions.(As long as you are in the UK.) Interested? If so e-mail me at lee.berks@talk21.com | |||

As with many other Sony ns** dvd players you can put in a switch for selection region 1 and region 2. In the NS330 there are 2 resistors, R164 and R169 (on the bottom side of the PCB with the large LSI's, next to the OKI memorychip ) responsible for this. For Region 2 (PAL) R164 needs to be 12K and R169 needs to be 47K (default when one buys a region2 player). For Region 1 (NTSC) both R164 and R169 can simply be left out (NOT 0 ohm!!). R166 isn't used for now. It's only for the selection of the model. A few notes : - Switching needs to be done when the player is turned off or in standby mode. - After selecting a region, the menu will return to it's default settings. All user settings are somehow lost. - When selecting region 1, the player will disable the RGB output on the SCART plug. It is however not possible to turn this on since on US/Japanese players this plugs seems to be missing and the menu will hide this option. Your TV must then be able to handle NTSC-composite-video or NTSC S-Video because the DVd player will only output Video or SVideo from this point. THIS IS MAYBE THE SAME THING A SOME PEOPLE EXPERIENCE AFTER THEY DONE THE REMOTE CONTROL HACK (with their PC or Palm). The good thing of the hardware hack is that if one selects region 2 again, the SCART-output will be enabled again. - Applying this hack takes good soldering skills because the resistors are SMD-types and fairly small. - Macrovision can't be disabled in this way. - As far as I have checked it is not possible to select Region1 in combination with PAL output. - Only replacing R169 (Region selection) doens't do the trick. Also R164 needs to be changed. For more hardware hacks : http://homepage3.nifty.com/~kei_nifty/dvd.html It's Japanese but the pictures and diagrams tell enough. :) | |||

People, simply read the post by "Umar Awan", from January 16 2004. The mans a genius. I tried all that WINSAMP crap which i have to say is way too awkward with WindowsXP even tho i managed to relocate my IRda to COM2, install DOS n all the other s#1t. And it stil didn't work!! When it came down to it the bog-standard sony dvd remote did the job!!!!! Kudos Umar!!!! mer | |||

Bought an argos remote URC7030 (£20) as per Dave for the ns 330 - worked on second time of trying - now plays region 1 & 2 (the only DVDs I have) - message is persevere, you need to get the key presses just right - you will need to use a scart to get colour for non uk region DVDs - (i have a sony tv also) Try it guys - it works | |||

After about a week of trying various methods of hacking my Sony DVP-NS330, I finally got it!!! Laptop IrDA??? Nope..... selen.org's WINSAMP??? Nope..... Palm Pilot??? Nope...... Some programable remote that i nearly paid 40 quid for??? Nope!!! The answer??? My bloody mobile phone!!! Yep, and I'm completely serious. I have a Nokia 7650, which runs on the Symbian OS. Its a Series60 phone, or so I'm told. And a little company out there called PSILOC have developped a universal remote application for said Series60 phones. This can be downloaded here: http://www.psiloc.com/?id=down&kr=1&dz=1 or for those of you who might like a non-evaluation version, from here: http://devnokia.by.ru/soft/software.html (The link is half way down the page) If you are unsure how to install the software check out your phones manual or whatever. The best thing about it is its programable, and it accepts files in Philips Pronto CCF and Linux Lirc formats. Once youve got it installed, set up a user defined device (should be the first item when you go to select a device, and select a layout for the buttons (doesnt matter which, a tv layout is handiest though).

Then simply asign number1 on the layout to the command "Button name-1" etc...... The last and final part of this odyssey is simply pressing the buttons in the order 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5 in close proximity to the dvd player. Phew!!!! All done and dusted!!!!! P.S. this also worked on my friends DVP-NS305, except he doesnt have a 60herz compatible tv so his picture was black and white. Cant win them all!!!! Enjoy | |||

Hi folks, Just thought I should state (even though it seems obvious) to use the above hack, your Series60 phone should have an IrDA port (well d'uh!!!). If your unsure if your phone is a Series60, a list of them can be found somewhere on: http://my-symbian.com/main/index.php And just in case there was any confusion with the Pronto CCF command codes (seeing as WordWrap was enabled on notepad!), it should read as follows: (hopefully this works................)

I used oneforall 6 in one (urc-7562) remote to make my ns330 region free. just follow these steps: prepare (this makes sure your remote is configured for your sony DVD player): 1. select dvd device on remote 2. hold magic button until DVD flashes twice. 3. enter device code 0533 Now we need to program buttons 1..5 with the following codes, read below for instructions: 1 - 189 2 - 255 3 - 095 4 - 221 5 - 079 This is how you program those numbers: 1. Hold magic button until DVD flashes twice. 2. Press 994. 3. Press magic (don't hold). 4. Enter 3 digit code from above. 5. Press button (1..5) where to program it. 6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for all keys. That works, but more information on macros is included in the oneforall manual for your particular model. Have a go: 1. Remove disk, put player on standby. 2. Press 1,2,3,4,5 - SUCCESS is displayed and player starts up. 3. Press 1,2,3,4,5 - player shuts down and BINGO! Should work for most of the dvp-ns### players. | |||

OK, first of all thanks to everyone on this forum. I've managed to reprogram my RDR-GX3 using Psiloc total IR remote on my Sony Ericsson P900 - Free trial download! This program is also available for Nokia Series 60 phones! As this is the same hack as the DVD players (region 2 at least) I thought I'd post it here too. Total IR remote available here: http://www.psiloc.com/?id=prod&nrp=97 I then got a Philips Pronto setup file from Remotecentral.com: http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/fi ... er&fc= Total IR recognises this file - beam it to the phone - open the file, then select to import the codes. Now open Total IR and select any device (I used a Sony TV setting as it has numbers on it). Assign the buttons thus: Tap the menu button in the bottom left corner, then tap Select Command - dismiss the dialog then tap the 1 button on the remote. Press select on the next dialog... Here I ran into a snag - but I worked it out from the fact that I learned on another forum that button 5 should be the power button - but button 1 was power for me. So the codes were backwards! Assign Unnamed 5 by tapping Done. Repeat for buttons 2-5 by assigning 4, 3, 2, 1 respectively. Who knows, maybe for you the codes import the right way around - so if this doesn't work, try assigning code 1 to button 1. When the ir Remote is set up, just do like all the other sony DVD hacks say... With the DVD recorder in standby, press buttons 1-5 in sequence... Recorder beeps and powers on - repeat sequence - recorder beeps and powers down - Ta-daaa... Multiregion enabled. Final important comment: THIS ONLY WORKED WITH THE DVD PLAYER SET TO REMOTE SETTING 1 - if it's set to 2 or 3, change it in the Options menu first, then change it back if you need to. | |||

I have a One For All URC - 7562 and followed the instructions posted by Dave Scott, April 10 2004. It works. If you can't get it to work, you're not programming the macros correctly - the instruction manual for the URC - 7562 describes a different macro setup but use the one posted by Dave Scott. | |||

To all you new people, if you want to make your DVP-NS330 DVD player region free, purchase the URC7030 Universal remote from Amazon.co.uk and program it from the instructions given by Dave listed 19th Jan 2004.(about 1/3 down this list) Good luck!!! | |||

How to hack a Sony Dvpns330 with a One For All 8204 Remote. This hack will set your Sony to multiregion. 1-Press and hold the Magic key (Hat)until the rabbit appears. 2-Now press the key Magic button (bottom half of the remote and to the left). 3-Press the DVD logo near the top of the remote. 4-Press the Magic Button once only (the hat). 5-Enter the number 00189 then press number one. The remote flashes twice and returns you to the screen where you press 'Keymagic' again. Now repeat steps 3 to 4 using the following numbers. 002552 000953 002214 000795 When all thats done and you have returned to the screen where you press 'Keymagic' press ESC. You will have returned to the normal remote screen. Now here's the good bit! Set your DVD into standby-which means no visable words on the players readout. Get the remote control you have just programed,point it at the DVD player and press in a steady fashion the buttons 1-2-3-4-5 Your player will say success! Now press those buttons again and the player will go back into standby. O.K? Cool! Now switch back on stick region 1 or whatever dvd in it and off you go! Sweet yes?! | |||

I've used the remote hack. All worked fine for DVP-NS50, but some regions still doesn't play. Everything is black, white, and running, adn when I hit eject, the picture looks fine, colour is back, but then the disc ejects. What does these IR codes mean? And how many buttons does the NS330 have. I think this works but shifts the play for all regions to eject...! Meaning when you click eject the code executes, which is not what we want here. Let me know, anyone who knows why the ir code (189, etc), or what is presents. | |||

Thanks a lot to "Region code hack posted by SpAwN, March 31 2004:". It worked very vell for me on Sony DVP-NS300. Below are detailed steps for Symbian S60. 1) I used a Nokia S60 phone on which I had instaled the latest version of PSILOC's IrRemote software. 2) on PSILOC's web site, I created a remote command profile having only 5 buttons (play, pause, stop, rewind, and forward) each associated to the numeric sequence given for button_1 to button_5. At the end of the wizard procedure, I associated it to the Sony NS300. Then I downloaded the file to my computer (let us call it dezoner_NS300.ir) and then copied it to a directory on my phone. 3) on my phone, when I clicked on the file dezoner_NS300.ir, it is automatically opened by IrRemote . 4) then I moved the phone in front of the DVD player's display, which is Standy-By mode, and applied the sequence : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. At the end you read OFF and it disappears. Note : you cannot dezone using the original remote command. | |||
