RE: Philips 580m

Hi,

I just posted this;

Folks,

Just found a successful Philips 580HC or 580M remote hack. It was posted on the 30-Dec-2002 by Thotan of the Philips Syndicate. I bought the player several months ago and tried everything, including buying the oneForAll (Infra red RC6 code) remote etc etc

Here it is;

Press EJECT on the player

Press PROGRAM 1, 3, 5, 6, X (Using the ordinary 580 remote)
(Note, enter X as a number from 0-6 i.e. the region code, 0 will be Region Free)

Press STOP 5 times

I had the TV switched on and tuned into the DVD player when doing this.
After typing "Program 1,3,5,6" then "REGION CODE XXXX" appeared, so you will know you are heading in the right direction.

Good Luck,

J.

Philips DVD580HC Review (But where do I find a region hack?)

Recently bought this Philips all in one cinema package. For the price, I am absolutely delighted with it`s performance. Great picture quality when used with my Philps Flat screen through the RGB scart (Why oh why do the magazines push the Sonys etc, when people can only hook them up to their TVs using S-video, a much more inferior quality).
Anyway, the sound is superb, no problems filling my 15x10 feet room with good thumping bass (even though the speakers are very small and dainty, must be a good sub-woofer), also the sound detail is very surprising, previous DVD player never picked some of this detail out. Overall very enjoyable, and unless you are real audiophile (which 95% of us aren`t) then would recommend this system for great cinema experience. (also has Dolby Digital & DTS decoders)

Note the magazines have not reviewed this system yet, I wonder why?

Anyway, my only worry is that I have not yet managed to find a multiregion remote hack. I have tried the Philips Universal remote hack (i.e. bought the recommended 1 for all remote from Argos) but no luck.

Does anybody out there know?
