Page 1 of Region switching on Philips DVDR880

Is there any truth in the story that the DVDR880 will "lock" on one region after 25 changes?

I had the same question a few months back and I found in two places on the net (can`t remember where now!) that IT IS TRUE! To solve this just make it region free. But you will need a oneforall remote. All you have to do is configure the remote to work on the DVD player. Press the MAGIC key followed by 085, then when the dashes appear (keep trying if they don`t appear) input the code 121 212 005 255 then press the play button on your DVD remote, turn the power off and HEY PRESTO.......region free. (believe me it works)

hope this helps
