Page 1 of Hack for Philips 756 DVD Player Needed Urgently

Just bought a Philips 756 DVD Player after my Samsung 709 broke down. Is there a permanent or temporary region hack that is available for that player.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You do need a universal remote for it.

¦°e\/[\] you are a true geezer....... Many thanks this hack worked a treat. Is this a permanent hack though???

Yep, permanent! And it`s RCE compatible too (so you can play the R1 version of The Patriot if you wish). You`ll never need to enter another code again! :)

Ruff 1, can you tell me what this player is like as I`ve just ordered one from Empiredirect,
Whats the pic quality like?
Sound?
Did you have to use a universal remote for the hack? and was it easy enough?
can you disable mac?
Thanks for any help.

I can answer most of your questions, although I have a 710 myself. The picture quality is great, sound is good too (although the 710 doesn`t have optical out, only a regular digital out - I`m not sure about the 756 here though).
You can use a OneForAll 6 (possibly a 5 too), a Palm Pilot using OmniRemote software or a Philips Pronto. The hack is very easy to perform and it is RCE (Regional Coding Enhancement) compatible too. Sorry, there is no way to remove Macrovision at the moment, but a few of us here are working on a firmware update to remove it. Keep an eye on this site and on http://www.ianc.net/philips for further news as and when there is any! :)

Cheers Ian, I`ll hunt for a one4all remote now>

Hey Poncho

What can I say about the 756......... It`s a fascinating player. I was at a loss as to what DVD player I actually wanted to buy. A friend purchased the Philips and became completely besotted by this beautiful piece of machinery.

The sound and image quality get 10 out of 10 and compared to my Samsung 709 I think that the picture is a lot crisper and true to life.

GO OUT AND BUY THIS PLAYER. DIXON`S OR CURRYS.... COMET DO NOT STOCK THIS MODEL FOR SOME STRANGE REASON.

I`ve ordered one already, I won`t say where yet (unless I already have) as it seems extremely cheap and I still think I`m going to get a call saying "sorry we made a mistake"
I have a Philips TV & Vid so it will go great with those, you don`t know if the PHilips TV or Vid remote can perform the hack do you??
