My Sony Blu-ray BWU-100A is set to region 4 (Australia)
I'm using Vista Media Centre
The player is Cyberlink's
I cannot play any DVDs (not BDs) with regions different that 4. I have tried various movies with regions 1 and 2 and they all fail with the following message from AnyDVD (before the player starts). I have removed all memory resident programs incliding Cyberlink Instant Burn.
"Failed to read DVD!
This could have several reasons:
1. – DVD media is dirty, you can try to clean it.
2. – DVD Media is damaged, you have to replace it.
3. – Your drive is region locked RPC2 drive, which doesn’t allow reading of scrambled sectors from a different region and you try to read a DVD from a different region. Known drives having this problem are RICOH/PHILIPS DVD Writers and Matshita/Panasonic DVD readers and writers. You can try to find a RPC1 patch firmware at http://www.rpc1.com
4. – Your drive is an RPC2 drive that has not yet been assigned a Region. Try to assign one, or try to find a RPC1 patched firmware at http://www.rpc1.com"
Can you help?
Kind regards
