After reading through these forums, I`ve bought 2 Region 1 Discs and followed the instructions using the Philips Remote Hack. After entering code 274 the machine went to the LOEWES screensaver and would not play the Region 1 Disc. I then entered the 159 code followed by 005000 12815 6 which turned the screensaver back to Philips, but the machine is now locked. I cannot enter any other code to cancel it. It will not turn on or off and the Disc drawer does not open. Please help - how do I undo this? The machine is 1 month old and this is my first attempt at the Hack! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you shouldn`t have used those codes........don`t you know about the multi-region hack?.......
what you have to do is enter the code that will reset your machine to its factory defaults.......but you have to first access the "dashes" again using PLAY 159........there is a little trick to doing this.......
just keep trying and do it as fast as you can..from the moment your machine intialises....after several attempts....you should have some success......
now on to the code.......you should have made a note of your firmware...in particular the part of the firmware that begins with a P.......for my 751 the number was P54......if you have al ook at the P NUMBER CODE LIST on my website....you can find the P number that matches the spec of your player
