In Reply to: Firmware phillips DVD 580M and multiregion hack posted by gef on May 08, 19103 at 03:43:48:
: In fact, you don't really care of the firmware.
: (the firmware is a version of the software running on your DVD player).
: I finally succeded making it multiregion with the following hack (after many tries) :
: Switch off your DVD player (if it's on)
: Switch on your DVD player.
: Push "Eject" (DVD player button)
: Push "FTS/Program", "1", "3", "5", "6", "0"
: The following message appears "CHANGE REGION AS XXXX" (I did not pay attention if it appeared
: before of after pressing the multiregion 0 code)
: Then push "stop" "stop" "stop" "stop" "stop" to make it permanent.
: A message "CHANGE REGION AS 0" appears.
: It's now working !
:
: To check the firmware, do the same operation
: replacing "0" by "8"
: By the way
: "0" : all region
: "1" : region 1
: ...
: "6" : region 6
: "8" : check firmware (a message givin firmware version appears on your screen)
: hope it will help !
