Region 3 Hacks for Philips 756 Player

Does the Philip 750 hack only work for R1 discs. I want to purchase an R3 disc but I am not sure if this will work in my machine.

Would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this.

Many thanks

Thanks.........I checked your site and the Oneforall page is working. I already have this hack which works a treat. Does that mean that I`m already R3 compatitble or do I have to do something with my Philips Remote which looks completely different to the one on your Philips remote page. If I do have to do something with the Philips remote....how do I do it.....

Apologies for sounding completely THICK!!!!!!

The ONEFORALL hack makes the player MULTI-REGION...all region....including region 3......

so once you enter that code you can watch discs from anywhere in the world.......

the other codes can be entered using the oneforall or the philips remote.......they`re handy incase an improved version of RCE is developed.......you can just use manual switching to get around it.....

as for the philips remote itself.....It`s a scan of the remote that came with my Philips 710 back in November 1999.....my 751 comes with a completely different remote.....(it`s silver!).....

Hey Ponch....

I think some VCD`s are badly produced and may not be digital at all. I bought House on the Haunted Hill at a computer fair and although it plays with colour intact etc etc.... it is no match for true DVD quality. Also a friend of mine has a dedicated VCD player with masses of titles but the quality is not at all good with the loss of colour on some films and terrible lip synch problems.

To be honest I would stick to DVD`s and not bother with VCD`s.....

What does anyone else think about this issue?????
