    Hey Im trying to unlock my sisters Sony DAV-SC5 dvd player but the only unlock code I can find on the web is this which I cant understand, I am fairly shíte with computers, can you help explain this or tell me an easier way to unlock it?

    1. Download Winsamp here: http://www.veg.nildram.co.uk/remote13.zip
    This program will emulate an IR remote on your laptop

    2. Extract the package onto a bootable DOS floppy disk. (this step is very important, I tried to use the software directly out of Windows before, but without success)

    3. Download this IR code file and place it in the same directory as the package above. This file holds the five necessary IR codes converted to the format used by winsamp.exe. http://www.selen.org/files/REMOTE.TXT 4. Boot up your PC from the floppy disk and run winsamp.exe. If your IRDA port doesn't appear as COM2 you may override this by using an appropriate command line switch. For example, use COM1 by running 'winsamp C1'.

    5. Press the 'r' key to load up the codes into winsamp.

    6. Turn on the Player.

    7. Hold down "EJECT" and "PREV" and and while keeping them pressed press VOLUME +, this should get you into the service menu.

    8. Make sure your DVD player is in "Service IN" mode and your IRDA port is within range.

    9. Run the IR codes from 1 to 5 by pressing Enter on each corresponding button.

    10. Your DVD player should now display "DATA RESET".

    11. Press the power button on the player remote.

    12. Plug it out for 5-10 seconds.

    13. Start it again, and play your region 1 ect. discs !!
