DVD region hack for Sony DVP SR160

Hi. I'm hoping someone here has an idea. I've found a hack for this DVD player that goes as follows:

1) Turn your DVD off. 2) Use the remote control and press:
- Display
- Top Menu
- Clear
- Power
This should power the device into Service Mode.
3) Choose option 2 and then choose option 4.
4) There should be two fields: Input Code and Current Code, each one with 5 chars long.
Type: 12450
Then push zero on all the 5 places of the first and the second field.
Push ENTER.
5) There should be a zero on the device display, meaning that all regions are free.
6) Press POWER to turn it off and you're done.

Unfortunately I've an RMT-D197P remote, which doesn't have a "top menu" button. Any ideas or another hack?

Check out http://www.videohelp.com/. They have all sorts of info about how to hack different players to remove region codes. If anyplace has info about your player, I'd bet they will. If the posted method doesn't work for you, check out their forum, lots of very knowledgeable people there.

The site is also a good source for info about various brands of blank discs.
