Onkyo BD-SP809 region free - Onkyo BD-SP809 Internet-ready 3D Blu-ray player

No. Blu-rays cannot make region free.

From the users manual:

Region code (BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO only)
Your player has a region code printed on the
rear of the unit and will only play BD-ROMs/
DVD VIDEOs labeled with identical region
codes.

Nothing was said in the manual about changing the region code.

Try the official Samsung support site. There are software upgrades available, as well as manuals, etc.:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-F5700/ZA

Howver, the F5700 is "officially" only a Region 1 player. If you bought it from an odd seller that advertised it otherwise, they either lied to you or have attempted to hack the player themselves (possibly illegally).

SOME manufacturers allow a ONE-time region change (legally).

or general suggestions on changing the region on players:

I do not condone any of the above methods, whether they are legal or not. Most Blu-Ray discs are already region-free, and I don't hack my electronics.

You may get a region free code from these WEB sites.

If you wantto play DVDs from any region you maybe able to upgrade the firmware to make itregion free BUT if you make a mistake or installed the wrong firmware theplayer will be a piece of junk.
The best solution to make the player region free is to install a piece ofsoftware (Passkey for DVD) that allows you to play DVDs from any region andPasskey for Blu-ray that allows you to play Blu-rays from any region. There areseveral available on the Internet but my favourite is DVD-Region Free From: -

None of these suggestions work for the BD-C6800

BD media does have region codes. But, unlike current DVD players, the region codes for BD media use letters instead of numbers to indicate a particular zone or region where the discs can be played.

The BD region codes are as follows:

• Region A: North America, South America, U.S. Territories, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia
• Region B: Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
• Region C: Asia (except for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia)

There are a couple sites I found that offer the codes for that player and the BD-P1000. I am not sure if I am allowed to post the links for those sites but the link to the site zimcloud posted is one of the places I saw it listed. You can google the model and region code and a list of sites come up.
