Multi Regional DVD Player

First of all, I love the slim line look and light weight feel to this DVD player. I haven't had the chance yet, to play any DVD's other than NSTC, so I haven't tested it for PAL DVD's which is the reason I purchased this player. Reading the helpful hints and coding to use to enable this player to play all regions will help a great deal when my PAL DVD's arrive from England.
It is becoming a bit more difficult to find multiregional players, and this was a great deal for the price.

The trick works!

Yes, the trick by H.A. Emet does work.
I can see all of my Japanese DVD now:)
If you coulsn't get it work, you really
need to try it again!
Thanks H. A. Emet.

Great unit like everything Phillips does...

Plays PAL discs, plays discs from any region, plays my discs full of AVI files (I rip my TV season sets, put an entire season on a DL-DVD).

I have no idea what "P. Ho"'s problem is... the region change code works great. Time was when Phillips *shipped* their units set to region 0, but no longer.

Code Free Hack No Longer Works! Sigh...

I have just received it from Amazon.com and tried all the codes I could found over the Internet. Unfortunately, none of them works and REGION ERR keeps on showing up. This new DVD player does not provide Preference as a choice.

REGION CODE WARNING! great player!!

I'd like to buy reviewer H.A.Emet a drink!! The box on the DVP5140 says very clearly that IT ONLY PLAYS REGION 1 DISCS. So does the manual. But reviewer H.A.Emet somehow found the proper commands to reset the unit to all region (region 0). So, anyone who's interested in this player for playing international discs should jump at the chance. JUST BE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE INSTRUCTIONS within the above mentioned review. Incredibly..it does not appear in the manual anywhere (at least I could not find it). CHEERS TO REVIEWER Emet!!!!!!!!!
