I have a 32" Tosh picture frame - one of the best TV's money can buy. I also have a SD210 DVD (next model up). The region unlock is a software unlock and should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing !, I've had mine done by an ex Tosh employee. The best place to start is the web do a search for multi region DVD's and results will give you not only people who sell them but who do the mod also. Costs about £30 ish. but it's money well spent. It obviously invalidates any warranty, but means you only have to pay about £9 for your DVD's. They are both really good players and I'm sure you'll be really happy with them. (I know I am).

You have to chip Toshiba's.

Have a look at www.upgradeheaven.co.uk for DIY chips.

I'm getting this unit fot nothing so I'm not bothered about warranty issues. I'll give my local electrical NON chain store a ring and see if they can help first.
