Sony 7700 (Y2K) 17/03/00 Multimod User Instructions Your DVD player is originally hard-coded for a specific geographical region. This means that it normally allows playback of software that is matched to your region only. There are some solutions that patch the player to "region 0", i.e. “region free” to allow playback of other region specific software - we do not recommend this as many new titles can detect this and refuse to play.
