does anyone have a mod that can be performed so my phillips dvd player can play all regions.

when i look at the instruction book it says that there are different versions (depending in which country you purchased the player) which give you different regions....i am in australia and have a few region 2 dvds that i can only play on my laptop. is there any way to mod my standalone player?

if not there are different versions for regions 2 3 and 4 will my dvd player play a US dvd?

thankz
