After searching through over 50 websites looking for the Philips DVD 612S DVD player at the cheapest price I found it at Amazon. This is a great basic DVD player does all of the sound output formats, has a great and clear menu system, and can be used as a region free player using a code entered from the remote. Not only that but it also has some other tricks up its sleve which it doesn't you about in the manual.
It is compatible with MP3 CD playback, despite what it says in the manual... (read more)

I`ve read the review on the Philips 612 and would like to know if it played VCD`s as it is stated because i have the 622 and it does not although it is supposed to. It`s been tried on a separate 622 as well as my player only to find the same fault, so i would be very interested to know of any findings of this nature on the 612 and the 622.

<br> Thanks Very Much......T.Harvey

I have a 622, it does play VCDs & SVCDs as long as they are on CDs no larger than 80 minute. It has some trouble with NTSC VCDs, but PAL is OK.

Top rated, inexpensive DVD player, it does all the things stated in the review and It lives up to its billing as a multi region player, with the aid of a simple set up.
<br>I very interested in the tricks it still has up it's sleeve, is someone going to give us a clue ?

I too would like to have the codes for this machine. I have found numerous codes on the internet that allow me to change to region 1. It works a little ie: it plays some cds but not all. Recently purchase Buffy from Amazon.com Region 1, but it doesnt play these discs.
<br>
<br>And now i think i have locked my machine forever.
<br>
<br>Anyone know how to restore to factory settings.

My problem is that I picked up a One for all 6 remote to hack my 612s player and somehow inadvertantly keyed in wrong codes and now the (TV) screen is black and white and very pixilated. Does anyone know how to restore factory settings so I can start again with the correct hack? Any assistance will deserve a beer or two. (I eventually did the RC6 code 222 222 005 255 PLAY Hack but it didn't sort it out)

I bought a Philips 612s 10 months ago. I used Smart Ripper and DVD X to encode (backup) one of my own bought DVD's to mpeg 1 (VCD) to try out their VCD claim. Having read in the Player manual before I bought the 612S that it played VCD and SVCD. Not so, now my teen age kids are doing their very best to use my DVD's as coffee coasters and play frisbies with my very expensive DVD's when i'm out. I would rather they used the backups I could have made of them all (useing inexpensive 80 minute CD-R's, more CD's for them to play with as well).The VCD's play great in the computer. HELP. I need those Philip's 612s tricks. If it say's in the manual that it'll play VCD's why doesn't it?

I too have a Philips 622 and have been trying to find the codes to convert to watch region 1 films. Could someone please let me have the codes + information on how to entry them. If I have a problem is there also a code to reset to factory settings?
