... so common here that few if any machines are sold without multi zone capability. Some time ago most added on about the equivalent $USD50 to cover the conversion but it is relatively simple so may be done at no charge these days. Sorry I have no details about how to do it. A really dumb idea from manufacturers to restrict software sales to one region.

Caution: some zones like ours use the PAL system and your H-K may not be able to read that if it is a USA only machine and USA TV may not be able to handle it either. Sony's and most TV brands sold here handle both PAL & NTSC.
