I knowthat the DVP-S7000 is a rather old player,but only recently was made aware of the fact tht certain units had a "switch" on the main board to allow it to play more than region-1 dvds.I have several region-2 dvd's that will probably never be released on R-1 so really would like to obtain one of these players.I have seen several on Ebay.I have always loved the Sony players.
My question,does anyone know the production year or years that had the "switches"as it seems not all 7000's had them?
Another question that is off topic but I was wondering about,many Sony dvd players can be put in a "service" mode when off by pressing the following on the remote...TITLE..CLEAR...POWER.Its kind of neat to do this to check the play hours for both DVD and CD,but This doesn't seem to work on a DVP-S3000.Is there a code for the early sony's to check their play hours?
Many thanks for any help you can provide.
