  Do you have any specific suggestions about the Pioneer players? I'm going to Tokyo next week and I was thinking of buying the new dvd/dvd-a/sacd (all in one) player. The only hesitation is that it is Japanese marketed in Japan so, presumably, it will be region 2 only. I'm planning on bringing it back to the US for use but this suggests that I'm stuck on using it as a regular dvd player.

  Any ideas?

    Vtec sell a kit called i-mod which can be used to modify Pioneer DVD players. I'm trying to get hold of one, but they cost $500 each, and subsequent 'credits' to modify each player cost $20. The credits are simply software licenses. I wish to modify my AX10, which is the big brother of the 747 you're talking about. It is stated on the vtec website that this is possible.

    Because the 747 is new, the website doesn't mention that it's hackable with the same kit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

    However $500 for the kit is ridiculous, unless you get a group of friends to do the same thing.

    You're probably better off waiting for the US release, or trying to get one from HK where region coding is less strictly enforced.
