Philips BDP 3000 - Region Code Help

[zzdiwan]

hey Guys,

recently I purchased a Philips BDP 3000 - however, I'm unable to play any Region A BD's on the same. Is there a way we can make this player a region free player or atleast allow it to play a Region A title.

Appreciate your response

Thanks

This works for Philips BDP 3000 as it worked for Philips BDP 2700/05

1. Make sure there is no disc in the tray when you switch on.
2. Press "home" key on remote control.
3. Enter number "1389310".
4. Switch off. Wait a few seconds and then switch on...now region free.

So far i only tested region 1 DVDs and it works.

HellFreddy's suggestion, if it works for your player, will only make it region free for DVDs. I know of no code that will enable any Philips BD player to play BluRay discs from other regions.

Try it let us know if it works.I am planing to buy
Philips Blu-ray Player (BDP3406).Thanks.

HellFreddy's tip is only for DVD part. I suspect that, in fact, in areas outside North America, that Philips player may be DVD region-free out of the box.
As for the blu-ray portion, it remains gratingly unchangeable. Tough.

BDP3000 can be made region free for BD by flashing it with a Medion P71006 firmware. You will need a Logitech Harmony remote because the Philips remote will not work after flashing. Details here.
