While searching for this SAMPO DVD PLAYER I found something I had never heard
of.
DVD HACKS. There is a whole network of web sites devoted to giving precise
info on
how to convert most any DVD player to play any region's DVDs.
All you have to do is search on "DVD HACKS" and you get tons of hits. I
found several
sites that have extensive lists of many different makes and models of DVD
players along
with instruction on how to convert them to any region. Very interesting.
One bad thing for me.
My DVD player is a Sony. I searched for quite awhile but every list I found
had no Sony DVD
players. I finally found an obscure listing where you can actually send in
help questions.
Someone had made an inquiry about a Sony player and the replies were that
there is no HACK
for Sony players. Bummer. Now I'm just going to have to buy this SAMPO.
Looks pretty good.
Oh well. Have fun. Art
