Page 1 of Philips dvp3055v dvd/vcr combi HACK

could someone out there know of an available hack for above mentioned player

tks

I cant find a hack for that particular model but there are 3 hacks for the DVP range, try this one first!:

Open the disk drawer
Go to the Set Up menu
Go to Preferences
Press the following sequence in the remote control: 135566
A menu indicating "Region Code" will appear.
Change region using down arrow until `0` is selected
Press "System Menu" to exit Set Up screen
Press Standby to save the setting
Restart

Ok will have a try

tks

Tried your first hack,but unlike other Philips players,there is no "Preference" page to start with. Do u have any more hacks?

Cheers
Jack

I got the same problem. Check here :

If you get a crack that work can you share it with me and I`ll do vice versa.

And you are right there is no "preference" page... :(
Good Luck.

These are the only other dvp player hacks i can find at the mo(the ones without reference to a preference page), again not for your particular model but its worth a shot!:
1.
start the player without any DVD in it.
open the lid.
while the lid is open press 9,9,9,9,0
you should see region 0 displayed.
close the lid.
or
2.
Connect a TV to the DVD player
Open the CD cover
Press `display` on the remote control
Key 2 8 1 2
THEN
Press `OK` until `9` appears on the screen, up right
Press `display`
or
3.
1. Turn on the player.
2. Open the tray.
3. Press the following sequence on the remote: 7 8 9 OK 0
4. The number 0 will appear on the lower left side of your screen.
5. Your player is now region free! Put in a DVD and enjoy! :)

tks very much for assistance however,hacks dont appear to work with this model,will keep on hoping though

Jack

can you try following codes and let me know if anything works, I want to buy one

Notes: the folowing codes will turn your player into what is called "region-free". If you require the player to be a single region, for example region 1, then simply repeat the process and replace the "0" with a "1". This may be required if you have trouble playing DVDs purchased from outside the UK that have Region Code Enhancement technology on them. These titles are in a minority and you will find a substantial amount of titles will play without the need to change region. Our recommendation is that you set the player to region 0 and change to a specific region when the need arises.
