HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried the multi region hacks for my new dvdr880 with no success. The omniremote rc6 or the one4all remote wouldn`t bring up the input screen . The play 159 code seemed to work but the unit still will not play my R1 discs or rce.....
Have Philips altered the firmware or something. ????
Any help would be appreciated..... J

To do this hack you need a oneforall remote, you have to configure to work your DVDR880 (maybe need to update it via the oneforall website.....I did) then you do the following:
Press the MAGIC key Input numbers 085 This should bring up the 9 dashes (if it doesn`t keep trying until it does) type in 121 212 005 255 press the play key on original remote `NO DISC` should show turn off the DVD player for about 10 seconds it should now be region free
I own a dvdr880 and it worked for me (after a lot of trying!) It doesn`t remove MACROVISION and I don`t think you can play all RCE discs (although I haven`t tried one myself)
If you do update the firmware in the future as I did to FF12g the DVD player remains region free.
Hope this works for you!
p.s if you do want to disable the macrovision go to www.sonel.com they do scart leads at reasonable prices whichwork for DVD recorders.
