Your Sony DVD-RW is most probably a rebadged Liteon. No need to flash firmware, just use this little utility.

You can do it via the web interface. No need to download.

Or get your Sony/Liteon firmware from here.

Get the Sony one that says LED fix for your corresponding drive. This will make you Sony drive LED flash RED while writing like the Liteon.

Also with Omnipatcher (same site) you can custom modify firmware before you flash. The possibilities are endless.

Getting your hardware to be region free is just half the battle won. Software like PowerDVD, WinDVD maintain a seperate count of region changes.
