Page 1 of Remote issues with Philips DVD711 in the U.S.A.

Hey Guys,

I am quite sure Allan has been more than explicit in his listing of remotes for the 750 hack. However, in my quest to achieve Region 3 play, I am finding out that the OneFor All 6 and the OneForAll 4 are not available for the US market. I picked up the OneFor All a/v Producer 8 as it was the most expensive one available here thinking it would have what it takes. It doesn`t. It has no `magic` key. In fact, I`m not having much luck finding any remotes with a `magic` key. I am sure until I find a controller with the `magic` key I will never fully understand the hack. Moreover, I will never achieve multi-region play.

Now my Q`s.

Can I use this a/v Producer 8 remote to achieve the hack? and if so, how?

Are there any other remotes on the US market that would allow me to achieve the hack?

If I purchase a OneForAll 4 or 6 from the UK, will it work with my US model DVD711?

Thanks so much for all the support and a great site.

Joseph.

does your remote have a setup button?

Yes sir!

no problem, use setup button instead;
Someone took me back from US to France a cinema7 model one4all,
URC-7800B00,
It was purchased at bestbuy and works great
Good luck

Well the setup button doesn`t work for the a/v Producer 8. It gives me a message saying not found. I shall try getting the cinema 7. Any other ideas would be welcome.
Thanks.
