Philips DVP642 Region Free * Turn on player and open tray. Region code hack posted by wewa, April 30 2004: The hack should be perfectly safe, but USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK! If you want to change your player to just a specific region code, replace the 0 with the region number you want. Your player is now region free! Put in a DVD and enjoy! :) NOTE: The 0 in the sequence above represents the region code. The number 0 will appear on the lower left side of your screen. Press the following sequence on the remote: 7 8 9 OK 0 4. I'm copying it here for your viewing pleasure: 1. The hack published by Mats-Åke Larsson works perfectly on my DVP642. Region code hack posted by Joe Moe, April 30 2004: The DVP630 is a European version (DAN, DEU, ELL, ENG, ESP, FIN, FRA, ITA, NOR, POL, POR, RUS, SWE, TUR), but the sequence should work on the 642/640 (and 632) as well. I cracked the region code sequence on my DVP630/02 yesterday. Region code hack posted by Mats-Åke Larsson, April 29 2004: You now have the system playng correctly zone 2 DVD set permanently Then, when the messy screen appears, enter the setup, go to the video section and change the video system back into NTSC. Once you have changed the code (for me VER113 630 02 02 2 worked fine but I believe that any code ending with 2 will do well) you reboot. In particular you change the video system too (NTSC into PAL or MULTI) which is the cause of the trouble. I discovered that when you input VER113 (note that mine is different from the other hacks) 630/00 01 02 you change much more than the region code. But I also confirm that if you turn off and on you get b/w image and a "moving" screen. I confirm that 5 6 9 + OK shows the hidden menu and if you play immediately a region 2 DVD it works fine. I bought it on apr 2004 from BestBuy (for firmware ref). Region code hack posted by fede, April 29 2004: I don't know if it works before the firmware update, but before the update the version (in the USA) was: VER0113 642/17 02 01 Good luck! I've played both region 1 and region 2 (both on an NTSC TV) using this method. The value at the far right is the region code. 2) On the remote press "5 6 9 OK" 3) Use up/down arrows to select between model numbers (probably same player, different regions). Not exactly region free but you can change regions between 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the firmware update at philips web site: 1) Open tray. Region code hack posted by April 23 2004: It works on a very similar Philips model (DVD 640) but not on this one. The '0000' hack I posted earlier DOES NOT work on this player. Region code hack posted by divuer, April 22 2004: The newly selected region will appear on the top left corner of the screen. Press '0' to make it region free or whichever zone you want to set it to. BTW the player appears to be macrovision free out of the box! *** and some folks want to charge $120 for this! LOL *** *** Buy this unit for $70 and do it yourself!!! *** Region code hack posted by divuer, April 20 2004:
