DVD Regions - Any Workaround?


Hi. I was wondering whether it would be possible to tweak my DVD player so that it can play DVDs from Europe. I live in California and I own a Pioneer Elite DV09 DVD player. I find that there are a number of British titles (mainly British TV shows) that I'd like to have, but they aren't available in the US. I can source the titles from Amazon.co.uk, but I need to be able to play them. I'd value any advice on any fix anyone is aware of to get around the region restriction. Thanks!!
John.

I have run into a similar problem. A good friend of mine is married to a German lady and they now live together in the US. He is trying to find DVD titles that have German as an optional language. It seems like all of the alternate languages here in Region one is Spanish, French and sometimes Portugese. All of the titles that have German as an optional language are Region 2. He is leary of converting the player to "all-region" for fear of voiding the warranty. Anyone know where you can pick up some titles where German is an optional language in Region 1? Or some other suggestion? Thanks.
