I purhchased a DVD player on Ebay that is supposed to be region free (Phillips DVP5140). When I got the DVD player there was a note saying that if it did not work to use the following code to make it work:
Turn on Unit
open tray
Press "setup"
Navigate to "Preferences"
enter 138931
And then I wwas suppsed to see the curent region code and I can use the Up/Down arrow key to pick region "0" so that I can play all my region 4 DVD's.
I can get to preferences but once I get there I cannot enter the code anyplace. I read the same cheat on the dvd hack list and saw that many pepole had used the chaet and it worked fine.
Can anyone that is much more computer/technology savvy than I am help me with this probelm. From what I read in the hack list posts, it only takes a few seconds and worked perfeclty for them. I just do not see how it works and am assuming I am missing something very easy. Basically I am desperate....HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Try this, from dvd hacks list:
Region code hack posted by eca, June 29 2006:
AFTER getting to the Preferences,
HIT the DOWN arrow 1 time, for the section to be selected.
Otherwise inserting the number has no affect.
WORKS great, and very easy otherwise. -
Thanks for the reply. I tried that also but when i go down 1 it takes me to languages. The "cheat" that is in the hack list looks extremely easy and I would think it should work but I must still be doing something wrong.
I guess am hoping someone that has had my same probelm has found an answer and can walk me through the one step I must be missing.
I am willing to try anything so I say again....HELP!
Thanks -
FORGET MY QUESTION! I went back and tried it one more time and it worked. Either I am an idiot or it just "fixed itself". I think it is safe to say that I am an idiot.....
Thanks
