webbo3 - The model number is correct - I have the owner's manual in front of me as I type. Unfortunately, I have to use a library computer and it has limited access to hacking sites, hence my lack of success with Google. Thanks for your reply though. I shall try some of those suggested in your first link when I get home.

Most Toshibas don't have a hack - they need a mod-chip hardware modification but the following might give you some hope:-

I tried the following :-

Power On
Open Tray
Press 98790 (the "0" stands for multi-region, for specific regions replace with 1 - 6 accordingly)

when I got home and it was successful.

Thanks for your assistance - very grateful.
