MULTI REGION CODEFREE DVD PLAYER WITH DivX. PLAYS PAL/NTSC DVDS
(5 out of 5) by Tepavicharov on Sep 17, 2007 (NJ United States)Make it Region free you will not regretted:
I bought two of these and was disappointed to find they were both Region 1 only...until I did this:
1. Make sure there is no disc in the player.
2. Turn power off and on again.
3. Open the tray.
4. On the remote, hit 9879 and then 0. This changes unit to Region 0, meaning it'll play all regions.
5. Hit OK on the remote.
6. The screen will display a massage

Good Deal - With Some Work
(5 out of 5) by D. Oconnell on Aug 10, 2007 (Lindenhurst, New York United States)I bought this as a multi region unit to play UK dvd's.
The machine is locked to region 1 so and after calling Phillips I was told they this ONLY applies in the US. If you buy it in Canada it is unlocked to all regions.
2 minutes with Google and a simple code entry on the remote and it is now unlocked. NOW its a great deal. No complaints at all apart from the locking silliness.

Great player
(5 out of 5) by K. Minger on Jun 24, 2007 (Coral Gables, FL United States)I needed a dvd player for the back room to enjoy movies from blockbuster on.. This player works great, even if the dvds aren't up to par.. The player runs with no skips and a great picture..

Great DivX/Xvid Playback
(5 out of 5) by Piso Mojado on Jul 7, 2007 (California)I use this unit purely for watching DivX/Xvid AVI files burned onto CD-R media. Sound and video playback is flawless, and it handles subtitles very nicely as long as you follow the directions in the manual. I love the small size too.

Very very price effective
(4 out of 5) by W. Brown on Dec 9, 2007 (Seattle, WA USA)What a nice find. It is easily made multi region (see other reviews). The DVD tray can be controlled with the remote, also. To open or close the DVD tray with the remote, hold down the STOP button for 3 or 4 seconds. This player is a very good bargain when you can find it in the $30 range. Progressive scan is a great feature. It's cheap and it works.
