'fish, Can you pull your strings/lines and update the RoW webpage at Boots and Tracks to include the RoW IV winners? Much obliged in advance. Sincerely Charl

In fact, according to KingFish, this makes you not just a player, but a "very important" player! Much obliged Mike!

Lars, It seems prudent I suppose to get a Sony unit that can play all zones, not just zone 1 and 0. But if that fails, I'll be happy to take a Zone 1/0 unit. Moraine has moved the discussion here. He seems to be on the trail of some adapter that can change the unit to an all-zone playability. [ November 22, 2004, 09:17 AM: Message edited by: WineCape ]

If it can only be purchased from the UK, no problem, I have a buddy there that can forward it for me. I'll await word on this adapter thingy majingy. Seems interesting. NB: Regarding the word "multi-region" in UK website referenced above: Mmmm... does it mean it plays ALL ZONES, or just 2 or 3 different ones? Found here at this UK site. "Multi region upgrades are performed on demand; We modify the product, at your request, from it's original region coding to bypass region code management. The upgrade will be compatible with most DVD titles currently sold (discs form Region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. including discs which are classed as Region Code Enhanced (RCE) ). New release of software in the future may be incompatible; in which case a subsequent upgrade may be required. There will be an additional charge for this. This does not affect any other statutory rights you may have." But close to $1,100 not much of a saving compared to the SA versions ($1,200 the cheapest here), nor beating the USA online websites going below $799. If a UK retailer can change the unit to multi-zone, surely some USA retailer can do the same? Eternal hope springs to the fore. Will check here again in 14 hours time. Have to officiate a pro football match first, then some clear-headed sleep. Back soon and again, much appreciated so far for the calls! [ November 22, 2004, 09:49 AM: Message edited by: WineCape ]

Obviously, if you can buy the Zone 0 unit I'll be thrilled. If not, I prefer a reputable electronics shop in the USA (SA workmanship regarding this I don't trust, akin to car hack shops here!) to change it to a Zone 0, if that's possible. SONY SA let slip here it can be changed from a Zone 1 (USA) to any other zone, so it seems possible. More they won't say, only that they will not do it here for you. Say a tourist in New York wants to buy the Sony DVD recorder there and carry it back to South Africa, surely the retailer in NY will make certain that the specific unit is able to play SA and/or other region DVD's outside the USA? The RDR-HX900 is a relatively new unit, so I suppose only the big Sony retailers in the big cities will carry it first. Many thanks for the effort so far
