Default Region limitation with DX-5 DSD

I bought a used DX-5 DSD from a fellow in Beverly Hills which is only about 90 miles from Montecito, so it's not from some distant region. I love it, especially for sending files from Roon to the USB port, but I've gotten the message that a region C player can't play region A discs, and I gotten the message several times that the player can't play an out of region disc. I've had to resort to my Oppo 105D, which in each case played the disc without a problem, as did the Oppo 205. If the 105D and 205 can play the discs why can't the DX-5 DSD?

Is this is a software fix, or does the player need to be returned to Ayre for a fix?

Odd that your player is acting like a region C. Either it’s a SW glitch or a grey market player. Did you ask the seller. Do you have original box

Here are the regions

Region A: North America, Central America, South America, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Region B: Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Region C: India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mainland China, Pakistan, Russia, Central and South Asia.

I can contact the seller and I have the original box. I can also make a more comprehensive inventory of discs that don't play. So far, it's been two Acorn discs that might have been recorded in the UK, and one other that I don't recall. I'll try a disc likely to be US to test the region designation.

Hi db,

If you can, give me a call at Ayre. Hit 0 when the system picks up and it will ring all the phones. Ask for me and they'll track me down; I should be able to help with this.
