Yes, tried that also. Pretty much at my wits end with these. Thank you all for your help but I'm at a loss. Back to old style DVDs I think:(I seem to remember that they set themselves to the region of the first disc played on them.
Is there a facility to reset to factory settings?
I have gone online, found the manual, changed the parental region to U.K. And it still doesn't play a bloody disc. I wouldn't mind if the movie was something you know, well.......but Muppet Christmas Carol, amongst others! Anyway, checked Sony's website and it's the same old stuff, clean the disc, turn on/off etc. I'll send an email off tomorrow. On earlies tomorrow so it's well passed my bed time. Thanks for your advice tonight, much appreciated.Tried asking Sony UK?
