RE: Philips MX5800SA hack (very sneaky one!)

Hello mate if this system is new and you havn`t done anything to it i`d say it was bust.
Send it back for a replacement cause it sounds like the nvromchip`s gone nuts!.

RE: Everyone Read This Please!!

OK gonna reply to all this when i get a spare 1/2 hour.

RE: Everyone Read This Please!!

There`s loads i could write here on the points you`ve raised but i didn`t want to go deep into dvd`s on here cause most people just want the hack and to hell with everything else.;)
All i was trying to get accross is no dvd player is unhackable,with the right equip and knowhow all can be rendered region free.I have just bought a Philips MX5800SA and it is now region free thanks to the trusty remote supplied and the hack:)

Everyone Read This Please!!

Hello all, i`ve read quite a few of the hack requests on here and have realised that alot of the complaints of hacks not working stems from lack of experience with dvd systems.
I have worked for several dvd system manufacturers and you might say i have a personal axe to grind.So because i`m in a good mood i`ll let you in on a few secrets that i`ve aquired along the way.

1. There are currently 3 types of "Region testing" (hacks) these include the responsive, the denial command and the non response error. They sound complicated but their not.
The "resonse hack" displays numbers and symbols on the tv screen as you press the various buttons on the remote to access the RT menu (hack screen,secret menu,alladins cave) call it wot you like! this is where you can re-asign the region.This is the earliest example of region protection when dvd players first arrived and is very rarely seen in most new models.

The "denial command" is when you go through the motions of your hack but the player seems unresponsive and when you press the buttons on the remote a hand (the hand of denial) appears on screen.It`s purpose is to make you think that wot you are doing or trying to do is having no affect on you system but as most of you have found out it does!!
So as i`ve read on here so many times when the hand comes up it doesn`t mean that your being denied anything just carry on with the hack and you`ll be rewarded!!

The latest region protection is the much talked about (by boaring bigwigs in suits) The "non response error".This is when you get nothing at all from the tv display (not even a hand or an X) and nothing from your dvd system except the little light that flashes when your dvd player receives any signal from your remote.Once again if all else fails and this seems to be happening to you when you press the codes etc..,carry on with the hack as described and you will get what you want! This region protection is now becoming the norm because of it affectiveness to confuse people in the hope that they will give up and just play the dvd`s that the system was intended to play.

A couple of other things to note are>>>You do not need to buy a programmable remote to hack a dvd player that is hackable.If a dvd system can be hacked (and 99% can be) it can be done with the remote supplied, it`s just a matter of finding the hack online or elsewhere.How do you think the region is set when they leave the factory???? it`s not with an "all for one"!!
If you mess up the dvd firmware by getting the hack wrong, it is impossible for the manufacturer to identify if you messed with it or it messed it`s self up,just don`t tell the engineer anything!!

Anyways thats enough info for now i`m gonna play with my newly hacked dvd system!

REGION CODING IS A PRICE FIXING RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: bushDVDAV11K

Have you tried this one>>>>

For region select open tray and press 33088 on remote followed by 1 for region 1, 2 for region 2 and so on. Follow with 0 for multiregion. Bottom left of screen will display region chosen.

For vcd/svcd playback. Open tray and press 83119 on remote. You will see HAVE VCD displayed in bottom left of screen. Press enter on remote to load CD. All vcd/svcds will now play. Code remains active until power removed from unit.

This is the hack for the DVDAV7 but it may work on yours.

Philips MX5800SA hack (very sneaky one!)

Hi all i`ve just discovered the hack for the MX5800SA system and what a sneaky one it is to!!!
It`s basicaly a modified version of the MX5500 hack.Anyways here it is...

1.Turn on dvd with no disc
2.Press disc/media on remote (display should show "no disc 1").
3.press disc/menu on remote.
4.Enter 1 5 9 Slowly...(this is where it gets sneaky,the display will not show anything except an X for 2 secs when you input each number).
5.Enter 222222005255 on the remote,(the screen will not show ANYTHING but the numbers are registering!!)
6.Press disc/menu
7.Press standby
8.Restart and press disc/menu.
The player is now Region Free it will play any disc!

When entering the 222... number please make sure it is registering on the dvd display because nothing except the normal no disc info appears on the screen when you are doing this!!

Philips MX5800SA

Hi guys i guess this is a new system from philips because i can`t find a hack for it nowhere. It`s a 5 stack dvd/cd etc.. surround system and none of the other hacks like the one for the MX3600 work because when you press play in the dvd mode it just starts reading the empty disk trays.
Any ideas cause i got alot of region 1 dvd`s???

Thanks.
