There is currently no known hack for your DVD player. Sorry bro...
As I'm sure you know, DVDs are coded to a region of the world. Here's how it breaks down:
REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 -- China
REGION 7 -- Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
REGION 8 -- Resevered for Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc...
REGION 0,9 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide
So, here in the US, we're Region 1. In the UK, discs are Region 2.
Region 1 discs won't play in region 2 players, and vice versa. Or so I
was told when I first moved here 6 years ago. But that's not true.
Region coding can, in most cases, be removed from your DVD player using
a simple remote-control code that unlocks the player.
Why do we have region codes?
I'm no expert on this, but I turn to a man who knows more than I do. Robert Silva from About.com had this to say about the subject.
"Movies are released in theaters in different parts of the world
at different times throughout the year. That Summer blockbuster in the
U.S. may end up being the Christmas blockbuster overseas. If that
occurs, the DVD version of the movie may be out in the U.S. while it is
still showing in theaters overseas.
In order to preserve the financial integrity of the theatrical
distribution of a particular film, it is not possible (under normal
conditions) to have a friend in the U.S. send a DVD copy of the film to
the country where it is in theatrical release and be able to play the
DVD on a player there."
So, in a word, money. However, since the massive
surge of the Internet, file sharing and release dates in countries
around the world coming closer and closer together, it's fairly
ridiculous to have region coding. In fact, many players are now code
free. But, if yours isn't (and most aren't) you may be able to unlock
it in a matter of seconds...right now.
Enough background...how do I unlock my player?
The site I have used for the last few years is called VideoHelp.com, and they have a section of the site dedicated to DVD HACKS
. It's a simple search engine, just take down the name and model# of
your DVD player and if a hack exists (there are thousands out there)
then just print out the instructions, take your remote control and
program your DVD player. And there you have it. You can now play disks
from Japan, England, Australia, anywhere you want!
Here's the best part.
You don't need an expensive player. In fact, the easiest players to
unlock are at the cheaper end. I bought a Phillips DVD player (DVP642)
for $40 from BestBuy a few years ago, unlocked it in 10 seconds and
watched a bunch of British comedy the same day. Yesterday, I upgraded
that player to a DVD player with HD capability for the impending HDTV
we'll need to buy. I checked out VideoHelp for players on the BestBuy
website that had a remote hack available and found this one - a Samsung Progressive-Scan DVD Player with HD Upconversion - Model: DVD-HD860 . It was $89.99 (on sale from $99.99) and then I used the following region hack:
That was it. A nice new upconvert DVD player that plays any DVD, and it got a great rating on CNET
too. All for less than $100 including tax. So, if you do have a DVD
player that you'd like to convert, you can try it. The site does WARN
that any action you take may invalidate the warranty, so try it at your
own risk. All I can say is that I've never had a problem. Best of luck.

First try simple region hacks for Sharp units, they may not work on this model as this is a re-tagged pioneer.
See: Unlock Sharp DVD players
The unit is a re branded Pioneer DV-410V.
The Pioneer is made region free by installing firmware.
See Pioneer DV-410V region code.
The procedure is not supported by manufacturer and can damage the unit. Do it at your risk.The DVD may not work afterward.

I need to unlock my Sharp DV-SL2200 DVD player to enable it to accept multi-region DVD's. Can anyone help with this?
The model number of my DVD was not listed on the link that you posted. Model number DV-SL2200W.
I haave already purchased this product and it is labled Region 4 and will not play any of the
DVD's that I have labled Region 1. Can you tell me how to unlock this player so that it will play DVD's from all regions?
This site does not have my
DVD player listed.
I have a Sharp DV-SL2200W DEVD player that I want to make multi-region
I feel that I have paid for nothing as I could not get a suitable answer to my question. There appears to be no known hacks for my DVD player, and I have paid good money for nothing.
