After several attempts, I finally got through to someone at Sony.

Hint: It would have been nice if you had disclosed the maker and

I was told to reset the player, by pressing Stop and Power (on the unit)
simultaneously for 10 seconds. Lo and behold, the movie then played.

Hmmm... I couldn't find any reference to that using Google. Must be
an inside secret. Don't tell anyone.

I was also told this would reset the player to factory defaults, but it
didn't. Everything was as I had left it.

My guess(tm) is that it resets the region code.

Yep. I gave up reading Dilbert since I started losing hair in the
middle and looking (and acting) like Pointy Hair Boss.
