inside its a phillips so.........How to change the region setting to a Region 1 compatible machine:

This hack should work on all Philips DVD players as of 06/01/2001 with any firmware version, and other similar models by manufacturers such as Grundig, Marantz and Yamaha.



Send the infra-red code RC6 (aka Codeset 4, Key 235) to your player. You can do this with a OneForAll remote such as the OneForAll 6 (or URC7560) or OneForAll 4 Digital with the following instructions:

Configure the Remote using the setup code 0539

Press the Magic button

Enter the code 085

If you own a Palm Pilot, you may also use Pacific Neo-Tek's OmniRemote software to generate the RC6 code using a downloadable .pdb file.



Download the .pdb file into your Palm Pilot

Press the OmniRemote key marked as 955 Multizone

The onscreen display should show 11 spaces like this: '-----------'

Using the number keys on your DVD player's Remote Control, enter the code 222 222 005 255. Note that this is 12 digits and the last digit will not show on the on-screen display

Press the Play button on the DVD player's Remote

The onscreen display should now show the words No Disc

Power off your DVD player, wait 10 seconds and then power back on

You may also use the following methods for players with firmware 6.2:



Turn your DVD player on

The display will show you no disc

Press Play and then press 1, 5, 9 on the DVD Remote

On DVD display will appear ------ -----

Key in 101 040 000 140 on the Remote when you press the last digit you will see a little point

Press Play

The player will be turned off

Your DVD is ready
