I tried the hack on my Philips 580M but it didn't work. I followed the instructions and used "0" for X to get the region free status.
Note that I was not sure what to do when the instructions called for "check firmware:". I tried the hack a second time, and followed the instructions under "check firmware" but it made no difference.
: Don't worry this works infinite times.
: Philips 580HC and 580M.
: Change region permanent with standard remote:
: Press Eject on player
: Program 1,3,5,6,X
: Stop 5 times
: X=region 0-6 (0 for region all)
: Very important that you press Stop 5 times or it won't be permant.
: Check firmware:
: Eject on player
: Program 1,3,5,6,8
: It works great! Thanks to Philips Syndicate.
