Region Code Free DVD Player ...

FYI ... I just finished setting up a Phillips DVP 642/37 that I bought on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000204SWE/qid=1101226180/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1_etk-electronics/102-2211207-7229731?v=glance&s=electronics&n=172282) last week for $64 delivered (the player was delivered to me the day after Amazon notified me that it was shipped ... even though I opted for "free shipping" ... and Amazon's order confirmation said it wouldn't be shipped until 11/24) ... after following the instructions in this thread (http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks.php?select=Philips+DVP+642) I was able to watch a Region 2 DVD of Wild River (http://www.xploitedcinema.com/search.asp?search=wild+river&SUBMIT.x=6&SUBMIT.y=8) ... I am looking forward to watching a Region 2 DVD of Zulu (http://www.xploitedcinema.com/dvds/dvds.asp?title=2390) ... discussed in this thread (http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=41820&highlight=zulu) ... BTW, thank you ... Christopher J :righton: ... for the xploited cinema.com (http://www.xploitedcinema.com/) recommendation where I purchased both DVDs ... as well as this one (http://www.xploitedcinema.com/dvds/dvds.asp?title=2874) ...

Once your player is region-free you will be able to play any region-limited DVD. The hack is not related to specific titles or regions.

Thanks :) ... I am assuming that is a statement and not a question ... I do realize that ... I set the Region Code to 0 ... but since I haven't tried any other Region Code DVDs ... I didn't want to report that the player would play other Regions ... besides 0, 1 and 2 ...

Glad I could be of service. :) May you have many happy region free days ahead.

I love having a region-free player. I buy so much stuff from Amazon UK that it's not funny. So many titles will never be available as Region 1 discs. Recently got "Rising Damp" (box set with all 4 seasons), the Stella Street feature film, all three series of "Porridge" and the follow-up series "Going Straight", "Dr. Terrible's House of Horrible" (Steve Coogan) and lots of others.

Cheers,
Chris

I now have two DVD players that I made region-free. Denon DVD-3910 and LiteOn LVD-2001. BUT, I don't have a good source or many ideas on some good non-R1 discs to play on them. I've heard the R4 version of Brazil is good since it's anamorphic (unlike all R1's) and is NTSC, so it doesn't suffer from the 4% PAL speedup.

Chip-Hp, so your player does PAL->NTSC as well I assume?

Good taste! I just brought the 'Only Fools and Horses' complete series 1-7 box. I love being region free!
