Paul,

When the process has worked you should not get a message when playing any disc - it should just play. The message that you are seeing implies that the commands you've issued have not yet succeeding in making the player 'region free' and my first surmise was probably wrong.

The point I was making is that after it has worked, your player's Information menu will still say that it is 'Region 1', and not to worry: you can pop in a region 2 disc and it will play just fine.

I have not got any DVDs that I am sure have RCE checking; on the other hand I have loads of DVDs from the studios that created and promoted RCE and they all play.
