Sharp Blu-Ray model BD-HP20X locked to region 4 how to unlock ?

First, you need to let us know what region you are in before we give you a code. In the U.S. we are region 1. Foreign countries have different codes.

No region hack code to Blu-Ray players.

You maybe able to get a region free code from one of these WEB sites.

Check the DVD code written at the back of the player ( 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 ) and see if your disc code matches if not it will not play once you update the firmware. You see many of the players sold in the market have the DVD codes unlocked, but once you update the firmware it automatically goes back to its native region.

You could try >Menu >settings >parental control> "set a 4 digit password" then change the region code to your country.

Unless you have my problem and updated the firmware incorrectly and nothing changes it...

I had the exact same problem as you did... I bought the Sharp Aquos 42D85X which came with Sharp BD-HP21X Blu-ray Disc player. could not get brand new blu-ray movies to play and i found it froze everytime after 10 secs. I phoned sharp who basically were no help watsoever! I then went and returned my blu-ray movies back to the store thinking it was a problem with the discs.. The people there were extremely nice and since they had a display model of the BD-HP21X instore they offered to test the movie on it to veroify whether it was the blu-ray player was the problem or not. Turns out its a fault with all of the BD-HP21X models. So we then ended up returning it back to the store we bought it and exchanged it with the older model (BD-HP20X). I now have no problems playing blu-ray movies. Although another suggestion is to perhaps download the lastest firmware update & see if that resolves your issues.

If you contact Sharp via the website, you can order a firmware update cd from them, or download one from the website (CD or usb version) Follow the instructions and within 5 minutes your firmware will be updated.
Worked on mine :)
