RE: philips 711 problem

the whole problem started when the thing went back to philips. The guy @ currys couldn`t fix it so he sent it to philips & they told him p*** off cause they knew we`d tampered with it since they`ve got a thing that can bring up the last x amount of dvds we`d watched & their region.

One of ur codes may have fixed the audio but to be honest that`s really the least of our worries, really we`d like the osd menu fixed & accessible & the lcd display going again. Is there a chance that the guy @ currys or philips or whereever actually modified the player itself not just the software ? That`s wot im starting to believe.

One last thing, currys may be liable & wot not but it all seems like far to much effort to go through legal preceedings when a mod chip or code could get it back to normal. & @ the end of the day it still plays dvds in all regions which is really wot i bought it 4.

thanx all the same

RE: philips 711 problem

i`ve already d/l the firmware & burnt it to a disk & that didn`t work, & none of ur codes worked either which is a tradegy.
The fact is Allan that although the fact that my plaer is annoying its not so bad that i want to start a full on legal battle with currys only to be proven wrong cause there was one line in the warranty giving them the right to scramble it if needs be.

philips 711 problem

Hi,
i locked up my 711 using the 25 count region code & stupidly sent it back to the shop to try & wangle a new one. Instead the told me to go f**k & scrambled the player.

Since then ive bought a one-for-all remote & got the player going again all regions however the scrambling has left the front lcd display lookin like something off predator, the on screen display all bodged & has locked me out of the screen menu. The sound is also knackered since it only works when u rig the player up to an amp so u dont get any sound comin out of the tv.

I tried writin in b4 but no1 had a clue, i was wondering if any1 had any new ideas, thanx

Philips 711 scrambling problem

Hello,
To cut a long story short i changed the region on my 711 using the "play 159" crack & i stupidly forgot to count & locked up my player in region 1. I then made the next stupid descision of taking the player back to currys where i bought it to have em sort it out & after a few weeks they gave the player back saying that i breached the warranty & they weren`t gonna fix it.

Anyway, instead of just giving it back they seem to have put it in some scrambled mode where the front display panel is all messed up & just displays triangles, the dvd only plays sound though an amp, not through the tv & the on screen display is all crappy & just one colour & 1/2 the menu options have bin disabled.

Since getting it back i got an all 4 one remote & got the player going all regions again so i can still watch dvds but its still completely scrambled & id like to get it back to how it was b4. Any help would be much appreciated !!

P.S. Ive tried burning a flash disk & entering in a few codes on the remote but neither of those did any good
