1. Turn on
the player.
2. Open the
tray.
3. Press the
following sequence on the remote:
7 8 9 OK 0
4. The
number 0 will appear on the lower left side of your screen.
5. Your
player is now region free! Put in a DVD and enjoy! :)
NOTE: The 0
in the sequence above represents the region code. 0 = region
free. If you want to change your player to just a specific
region code, replace the 0 with the region number you want.
Not only the
$ benefit but it is also better to know how, some new DVD's
specifically will not play on "region free" players and now
you know how to switch it back to that particular region when
that occurs. If you have any doubts just search google for
"Philips 642 region free 789".
