I bought a dvd that is a region 2 dvd. All of my players say they only play region 1 discs. Is there a way to make it work? If I burn a copy of this disc, will it play it then?

I bought a Cyberhome 300 DVD player that said on the ad, "plays any dvd regardless of region and format." When I got it yesterday it has Region 1 stamped on the back, and the manual don't show any way to make it play a region 2 disc. Has anybody had any experience with this player? Or did I get screwed on it?
