does anyone know how to play region 2 discs in a region 1 player. I have a pioneer dv-505. it's a really recent version so it's not codefree. thanks

Sure. Push the buttons REALLY hard.

Seriously, there is no way, without modifying your player. Sorry.

You have to put a region 1 disc in at the same time to "trick" the player. The disc tray might not close properly, so you've really got to shove hard to get it to close, otherwise it won't play.

If you have a DVD Rom drive, you might want to check out www.dvdutils.com , but without modifying your player (unless it's an APEX) you aren't going to be able to do it.

Moving to DVD Hardware forum.
