Page 1 of CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH A HACK FOR PHILLIPS 701?????

Tried the hacks on this site doesn`t work please help me

what exactly have you tried.....I know that the oneforall works for the 701...........

let me know what you`ve tried..

I have tried the Phillips hack
1. Play, 2, 7 and 4 on remote control to enter the code screen
2. The onscreen display should look like this: `-----------`
3. Using the number keys on your DVD player`s remote control, enter the code 222 222 005 255
4. Press the Play button on your DVD player`s remote control.

Did the above with My Phillips 701 remote nothing happened after play was pressed.
I have now bought a Oneforall 6. Works a treat!! (must ensure that DVD is selected before pressing `magic` then `085` , got there in the end!)
Big question now is:
Will I need this remote for any reason in the future? or will my machine be multiregional for good?? (I have a Bang & Olufson tv which needs a different oneforall!!!)

where did you get the info that PLAY 247 works with 222 222 005 255??????????????

that is totally incorrect........oh and why can`t you use the oneforall 6 with your TV?......did you know that this remote is upgradable?.....

you can add new codes to it by calling the helpline and having the operator program your remote.............

but...if you want to take it back or whatever!.....you wont need to inject a code again

Alan the play 2,7,4 is listed at the end of point 1. After OR you *may* be able to press the buttons ............
This is how I read it, and by looking at the other messages I`m not the only one. Perhaps it should be written more clearly.

As for your point about the oneforall..... yes I am aware that this unit is upgradable and so are oneforall as it was them who told me that it will not operate my B&O TV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, thanks for asking anyway.

ps, Like your hacking abilities, don`t think much of your attitude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok.....i have just realised that the Region Hacks page as been updated with incorrect info in regards to my ONEFORALL hack......below is a copy of the e-mail I have sent to this websites administrators to get this info removed......

Hi…..just realised that you had changed the information on the Philips Remote Hack…….and I need to put a you right on a couple of points……(you are causing great confusion with this info…and it is responsible for many newcomers locking their machines….)

1. YOU CANNOT ENTER THE MULT-REGION CODE USING THE SUPPLIED REMOTE (IT USES A DIFFERENT INFRA RED COMAND)
2. USING PLAY 274 HAS A DETREMENTAL EFFECTS ON PHILIPS PLAYERS…..THESE CODES ARE FOR LOWE AND GRUNDIG (it will change your philips players into one of these!!!!)
3. EACH CODE IS SPECIFIC TO THE TYPE OF PLAYER…i.e…. THE CODE DOESN’T ONLY CHANGE REGION, IT CHANGES SCART OUTPUT, VOLUME CONTROL, VCD PLAYBACK…..SO YOU CAN END UP DOWNGRADING YOUR MACHINE
4. ONLY PLAY 159 SHOULD BE USED FOR PHILIPS PLAYERS

I am not sure where you got this false info…..but I have been working with Grundig technicians as well as programmers to come up with a complete breakdown of all the Philips codes…so I am in a position to pass on the correct info……..

You can check the forum at datatestlab.com for more info……also……my Philips website will have a breakdown of all the codes by the end of the week………

PLEASE MAKE THINGS EASY FOR ME…..CHANGE THE INFO ON THE REGION HACKS PAGE….

THANKS…..
