	The hack described here does NOT work on either the SP500 or S555!!!!! This hack only works if you have a mod chip inside your player from this site: http://www.tronika.no/dvdmod/dvdmod.html Check this .doc file: http://www.tronika.no/dvdmod/onkyo555user.doc It says the exact same thing as the hack described above. To make this player regionfree, you'll have to buy a modchip from the site mentioned above or check this site: www.jvb.nl, this page to be exact : http://www.jvb.nl/pages/1smpbtneOnkyo.htm The chip is about 70 euro (without shipping costs) There is no remote hack available for the Onkyo SP500/S555, that's why I bought the chip. It works great. It switched region automatically and it works great with RCE disks. You can also lock the player on a specific region. If you need info about the hack, don't hesitate to e-mail me.
