Skyworth 3650 DVD DivX is multi region capable from the box

I bought this machine in the UK in WH Smiths, and the manual says the player is region 2 locked, but I was able to play region 1 discs on my machine straight from the box with no need for codes or hacks, I tried it on several discs, and also used dvd decrypter to check the region coding of the discs (in case they were all-region). So just try a region 1, it should work, or maybe I just got lucky? BTW, I have only tried regions 1 and 2, not sure if the player will play region 3, 4 or 5.
