You need a OneforAll Universal remote. This is the full procedure copied from another source:

Full procedure for a oneforall remote:

1. Press DVD
2. Hold the magic/set button until the DVD button flashes twice.
3. Press 0533

4. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
5. Press 994
6. Press Magic/Set Key (don`t hold)
7. Press 00189 (if your oneforall remote uses 4 digit or 3 digit codes, use less leading zeros)
8. Press 1 ( this sets it to key 1 - it flashes twice )

9. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
10. Press 994
11. Press Magic/Set Key (don`t hold)
12. Press 00255
13. Press 2 ( this sets it to key 2 - it flashes twice )

14. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
15. Press 994
16. Press Magic/Set Key (don`t hold)
17. Press 00095
18. Press 3 ( this sets it to key 3 - it flashes twice )

19. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
20. Press 994
21. Press Magic/Set Key (don`t hold)
22. Press 00221
23. Press 4 ( this sets it to key 4 - it flashes twice )

24. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
25. Press 994
26. Press Magic/Set Key (don`t hold)
27. Press 00079
28. Press 5 ( this sets it to key 5 - it flashes twice )

The remote is now programmed and ready to use, to make the BDP-S550 region free:

1. Use the remote that came with the player to bring the player out of standby, make sure there isn`t a disc in it. It should read "HOME" on the front panel.
2. Press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the oneforall remote. The blue 24p light will start flashing on the front panel
3. Put the player back into standby with the Sony remote
4. Next time you turn on the player it will be region free for DVD playback

Hi,

Thanks a lot

I`m trying this when I buy the remote.

Other question :

Do you have a solution to read Divx for the same one.

It works. I`ve used it on my S550... 8)

No DivX hack.

I have a question - why don`t you buy a multiregion DivX compatible player instead of buying something that does neither then asking online if someone knows how to hack it?
