Sony DVD players can not be remote hacked by the public.
However for newer players like yours there is a hack which uses a special engineers remote (as it required something like 500+ characters to work). These can be hired for £20 to £50

One place which hires them is www.dvdchips.co.uk
They are expensive but it works as a colleague at work used them.

It is usually better to buy a player with this hack already done.
If you go to an independent retailer (not Dixons, Comet etc) they will usually do it for a small fee (upto £20) or free when you buy it as they make a profit on selling you the player.
