Page 1 of PHILIPS DVD951 hacked,but...i still can`t play...

Hello everybody,i am new here.I had just recently purchased a DVD951(2000 model),with hacking done by the retailer.I am able to play some discs from region1,2 and 4 but not all.
When i load in R1 GLADIATOR,it access to the sound menu of the feature disc.When i pressed OK,to any one of the surround sound selection,the player returns DISC ERROR.
Do anybody know what had really happen to my player?

---

I do not have a ONE FOR ALL remote control,can i do the hacking with the supplied remote?
I have checked the PHILIPS software number,it is "PHILIPS `99-`00 8.05 000920 P96"

I have tried to use the PHILIPS 750 hack as suggested by most and this site,but it does not work.I can only key in 11 digits only.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you look closely the 12 digit is there!.....it is appears either as a very small number below the others...or it takes the form of a dot in the middle of the circle..............

what do you mean..hack done by the retailer?....is your machine chipped?....if so then this will have an effect on the region hack........................why not contact the retailer and ask them?

HaGGiS!

The player was hacked by the retailer using a big remote control,i wonder if its the IR transmitter that you guys are talking about.According to them,there is no chipping done.

"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I am sorry that i might have missed out some other old threads that you may have mentioned about the little dot as that last digit.Yes,i have noticed that.
When i do as according the procedure mentioned in the info section,after i had keyed in that 12 digits followed by "PLAY",the player does not respond to go to "NO DISC" display.

My player is the latest model from PHILIPS,the same model that is currently sold in the UK as DVD957.

right....I assume that the retailer used the RC6 code to enable multi-region.......you will have to have this procedure done again...as you have messed around with codes yourself.....

Did you ensure that it wasn`t a problem with the disc?....Gladiator had been known to cause problems with certain machines......have you tried it on another machine?......

HaGGis!

So far,i have not try to hack the machine myself,i do not have the required remote control only the one supplied with the player.Although i had read some response in this forum that the player maybe hackable with the supplied remote,i did not do it(i don`t have that GUTS!).
I have checked the disc with another player,PHILIPS DVD725(Asian+Australian model,with karaoke function,U.S model DVD825AT) it plays the disc fine,the WARRIOR survives throughout the whole show.
Currently,the player can play the R1 GLADIATOR`s 2nd disc without any problem,it can play R1 DTS-THE HAUNTING too without any hiccups.I don`t think that my disc have any problem at all.The player plays all FOX DTS disc fine.

I have one query in mind,after i had read other`s postings,somebody mentioned that the RC6 hack`s 222 222 005 255 <- for DVD players with scart connections,i wonder did the retailer key in the wrong numbers to my player,cos my player do not have any.
Maybe i did not post the detail discription of my player,that may have mislead you.As mentioned,my player is the ASIAN version of the DVD957 currently sold in the UK,with on-board DTS decoding and six channel analogue surround output.No scart connections,only standard RCA connectors.
