Virgin mode reset:
Power on with these keys pressed OPEN/CLOSE together with PLAY.
After this sequence, the player displays "VIRGIN MODE" for a few seconds, and then powers-off. After powering on again (with Stand By button), the initial virgin mode selections and menus appear on the TV screen.
(from RsstX`s Philips 950/955/956 Tech Info)

To check your current firmware version of the DVD player:
Power on your DVD and television. Select the DVD channel (if it`s not already). Press the  menu button. Go to the most left menu-item. Go to "Access Control / status window / low power standby menu". Keep pressing the down button, untill you get your firmware version.

Hope this help

My guess is that it just puts the player in its initial factory settings.

For example if you`ve been screwing around with some region hacks and the player starts doing strange stuff, then you could go to "Virgin" mode so everything`s back to normal.

I`m not sure if Virgin Menu puts the player in "Virgin Mode"... It turns the player like brand new in terms of settings (language, TV format, sound adjustments...) but I don`t know if this can remove codes if you`ve been playing with "PLAY 159..." stuff.

Is there another way to hack the Philips 751 without needing and All for One Remote Control?

Is it possible to do it using a Sky Digital Remote? (they can be tuned to operate the TV)

Thanks

You could use a Palm Pilot program. Check this site. (http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/info/multiregion/)
Or a Philips Pronto Remote. Check http://www.home.zonnet.nl/jeroenverhaar/en/index.htm

Don`t try RC6 hack with the Philips remote. It won`t work properly...
