Hello everybody,
this question comes as a derivated
of my last post on this forum (about
updating the Philips DVD)..
here in Tijuana(Mexico), there is
a thing with DVD Players,
I´ve seen that some DVDs only play movies
that are rated on a ¨Region¨, for example,
´A DVD that only plays ¨Region 4¨ movies,´
Ok, that´s what worries me,
cus Im going to buy my Philips DVD (DVP642)
right accros the border, on WalMart(SanDiegoCa, US).
So, If somebody could tell me what ¨Region¨
it plays...
Thank you,
for this and all the other times
you have helped me! ;)

Region code and Macrovision hack posted by divuer, April 20 2004:
- Open the tray.
- On your remote press '0000'.
- Press '0' to make it region free or whichever zone you want to set it to.
- The newly selected region will appear on the top left corner of the screen.
- Close the tray.
BTW the player appears to be macrovision free out of the box!
*** and some folks want to charge $120 for this! LOL ***
*** Buy this unit for $70 and do it yourself!!! ***

but it really doesn't matter if you make it region free ;)

Hello!
To make your player Multiregion use the following hack:
1. Turn on the player.
2. Open the tray.
3. Press the following sequence on the remote:
7 8 9 OK 0
4. The number 0 will appear on the lower left side of your screen.
5. Your player is now region free! Put in a DVD and enjoy! :)
NOTE: The 0 in the sequence above represents the region code. 0 = region free. If you want to change your player to just a specific region code, replace the 0 with the region number you want.

Hello!
That hack does not work for DVP642!

Of cours,
What was I thinking?...
Ok, but, is there risk that I might ruin it?
and end up with nothing in the end?

Hello!
Yes one of them will!
The one I posted seems to be the one that works for most people and it is also on your link!
