Page 1 of URGENT HELP required for my Phillips 711

I aquired a secondhand 711 and it will not accept any discs. I have tried Region 1 and Region 2 disc. The tray goes in then opens again right away say Blocked on the screen. I can`t get into any of the onscreen menus either. It appears to be locked into a region other than 1 or 2.

I have read the manual and thats no help what so ever. I have also check for a remote region hack - and the only one I have found is on this site and you need to have an All-in-one remote to program.

Can anyone who uses or who had used the phillips 711 - suggest anything ?

Many thanks

Give it back to the guy who sold u the bloody thing.

Or have a look at http://www.home.zonnet.nl/jeroenverhaar/en/index.htm

There`s also the possibility to change the region code (for about 25x max) and it`s not that hard to find.

Its got a fault and is 90% your fault fancy buying it with out trying it, Im afraid you have done your money.

If your lucky it could be somthing that needs reseting ,but if not then use it has a doorstop like most of the scan owners use there machines.

It didn`t cost me a penny. I was actually given it by a friend - knowing that it didn`t work and if I could fix it then I could keep it. So nothing is lost.

I actually just go my PS2 yesterday and that play DVD`s fine - so I probably won`t bother much now about the 711.

Why wouldn`t your friend take it back to the shops???

The 711 can`t be older then a few months.....


Or is it HOT???????
