Eswar.

Venkat,

Information gathering is a special skill and sharing the information to others is like providing education. In both the ways, you are successful.

By the way, I have changed my DVD player as region-free. On pressing 789 <Ok> 0, 0 was displayed on the screen. This indicates that the region is set to zero.

Thanks a lot.

Please try a Region 1 or Region 2 DVD and see if it works.

Cheers.

Thanks Venkat. I will do that today evening; but I do not have any region 1 or region 2 DVDs to play.

Power Up the unit with NO Disc in the tray.
Open the tray (The tray must stay open during the whole exercise)
Press the SETUP Button on the remote control
Navigate to the PREFERENCES page using the Right Arrow Key
Press the DOWN ARROW one time to select
Press the 1 button on your remote control
Press the 3 button on your remote control
Press the 8 button on your remote control
Press the 9 button on your remote control
Press the 3 button on your remote control
Press the 1 button on your remote control
The current Region Code Setting will display
Use the UP/DOWN Arrow Keys to select the region required or '0' for All Regions
Press the PLAY Button on the remote control

Let me know if it works.

Cheers

Hi Venkat,

I have a Philips DVP3986 that I have not been able to locate a hack for. Please let me know if you come across or run into anything for this model.

Moser, you bought this in India right? Have you tried the dealer of Philips service center?

Hi Venkat,

No I have not checked with them yet. I have to visit them one of these days since an older Philips DVD player is not ejecting the tray so I guess I will have both issues addressed at the same time unless I come across a hack before then.

Thanks for your help!!!
