    Hi, I've just purchased a Sony S5XP (called S580 in the US I think) and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for unlocking the DVD drive (Mat****a UJ-832D) ? I've done some searching and have had no luck finding a conclusive answer so far.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    I'm trying to figure that out too, but I've been unsuccessful so far. I installed DVDRegionFree ( http://www.dvdidle.com/) but it doesn't work with this drive.
