Hi
Have no disc in and draw closed
Select setup on the remote
Press the following keys slowly
5 0 1 8 0
The screen changes when the 8 is pressed showing the region as it [2] before.
the 0 changes the 2 to 0 which is multiregion then press the ok button on the remote.
It should now work.
I found this hack via google a few days ago and it works fine i have also got the latest software upgrade via the philips website burned on a disc and loaded on the machine ,no problems with that either.[follow the philips way of loading as written on the website] ps the disc must be finalised.
