Philips DVP-642 question: RCE discs after region hack

[dvdplayerperson]

In the Region Hack section on this site for this player,
the region can be changed by pressing buttons on the remote. Can RCE (Region Coding Enhancement) discs still be played after the hack is performed?

While there are many movies I would like to watch that are not available in R1, I have some RCE-encoded discs in my collection that I would still like to be able to play.

You can use the hack to set any region, not only region free. Just press the region number instead of the 0

That's not what I was asking. My question was whether I can still play RCE-encoded discs after I perform the region hack by remote. Some players can't play RCE-encoded discs after the player is set to region free.

I will refer you to the following site to what I am talking about:
http://www.dvdtalk.com/rce.html

Do RCE discs affect only modded players or can it affect players that have been hacked by remote as well?

You set it back to the region you need it in,it's not a permanent Hack.

He stilll needs to know if an RCE disc will play in a 642 set to region 0. I would kind of like to know if anyone has the answer as welll.

They dont play in region free players, mine wont.

Edit: They wont in my 642 set to region 0.

Ok. Here is my findings:

I set the player to "Region 0/Free" Loaded a RCE disc "Daddy Daycare" All it did was try to load for about 2 mins,I turned the player off then on. still it would not Play , Put in a region 3 DVD Loaded in 2 seconds , Set player Back to "Region 1" Put Daddy Daycare back in Loaded in 2 seconds, put the Region 3 DVD back in while it was still Set to Region 1 , message "Wrong Region"...There you have it............

Thanks, that is what I thought. Good thing the 642 is so easy to change.
