How to Unlock a Sansui DVD HDMI
Like most DVD players, The Sansui DVD HDMI player will only play DVDs that share the same "region code" as that imprinted into the player. DVD region codes are locked into players to protect the interests of the movie industry. For example, a DVD player manufactured for the U.S. market will not play a DVD made for the Japanese market, where movies may be released on a different schedule. The region code restriction imprinted into the Sansui DVD HDMI player may be unlocked using its remote and a menu command that the company does not publicize. The procedure can also be reversed should you be concerned about warranty issues, which vary from one manufacturer to the next.

Tips & Warnings
Some DVD manufacturers make region-free DVD players which do not require any modification in order to play a DVD from a different region--examples of these DVD players are available from JVC, Toshiba and Pioneer, among others. You can change the region of the DVD player to a specific region so a specific DVD can be played.
Computer users are provided with a region code-changing utility built into the operating system that allows the DVD drive to be changed from one region to another.
