Notes:
This hack should work on all Philips DVD players with any firmware version, and other similar models by manufacturers such as Grundig, Marantz and Yamaha.
Please note that if you experience problems with this hack you can obtain firmware version 7.03 and later by HERE <http://www.dvdregionhacks.com/html/regionmods/players/p/players/philipsfirmware.html> to obtain files that you can burn to a CD-R and flash your unit to the new version.
Send the infra-red code RC6 (aka Codeset 4, Key 235) to your player. You can do this with a OneForAll <http://www.oneforall.com/> remote such as the OneForAll 6 (or URC7560) or OneForAll 4 Digital with the following instructions:
Configure the Remote using the setup code 0539
Press the Magic button
Enter the code 085

No known problems at time of publishing
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
once again...i will have to tell you NOT to use PLAY 247 codes...these disable certain features of the DVD and are for use with GRUNDIG OR LOWE players...
You must use PLAY 159..but again..this is machine specific....
Go to my site to see the full list of codes...oh..and have a look at the FAQa as well..they may help
