I am only now trying to get into the world of region free movies, so I hope you will excuse my ignorance of the subject. I recently bought the Pioneer model #DV578A, and was told of a few sites where I could go to find codes that could be entered into certain players to make them region free. But I am confused in this case because I have found no codes, but I have found several sites that say this player is ALREADY region free, and a few other sites that say it is not. Does anyone have this model, or the ability to tell me if it would play DVD's from other regions? I have no DVD's yet from other regions to test it, and would hate t buy something only to find it will not play. I'm dying to get that UK hellraiser Puzzle Box set, but I was under the impression that any store bought American player would only play R1. Any help would be appreciated.

It appears to need to be "chipped" to be a region free player.
