to make the Sony BDP- S5100 region free:

1. Use the Sony remote that came with the player to bring the player out of standby and make sure there isn't a disc in it.
2. Make sure you have a clear line of sight with the S5100. Press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the OneForAll remote, one after each other, firmly and with a slight delay between the numbers. There is nothing to indicate that it has worked at this stage. The Sony DVD player should briefly display "OK"
3. Put the player back into standby with the Sony remote. (OFF).
4. Hard reboot machine by unplugging it completely from the power, after a few seconds plug it back in
5. Next time you turn on the player it should be region free for DVD playback.

There is a region free hack but it only works for DVDs, not Blu-Rays.
