A few points on the above.
The simple permanent hack described first in this thread does not work on older firmware versions of some of the players particularly the Hitachi 305 (a Sammy 611 clone).
The so called AIWA hacks do work but cannot be made permanent as they could be on the Sammy 709. The Macrovision is not disabled on players other then the 709.
I hack my 305 using a OneForAll remote. I simply programmed the sequences onto the macro function - all I do now is simply press one button and it turns the player on, and switches it to multi-region. No problems.
