My XA2 now plays multi region NTSC and PAL DVD. This is how I did it. I started with XA2 2.8 firmware but with capability to play multi region NTSC DVD as modified by XE1 2.5.0.1 fw.
1. Back date to XA2 1.3 fw - hex change for fw version is required
2. Up date to XE1 2.5.0.1 fw - hex change for model no. is required
3. Up date to XA2 2.7 fw - as 2.8 fw gives occasional black out
Credits are due to AVS members who shared with us in this forum which enable me to achieve this. I would like to thank Bud-man for sharing how he hacked his A2 to achieve NTSC and PAL capability, Nikeajax and The Doctor for showing us how to back date firmware and change hex. Also to Pitou for directing me to the site to download XA2 1.3 firmware.
Edit: CAUTION - Read post #76 before you proceed !!!!!
