| Philips BDP2900 | 7 user region code/hacks | April 21, 2013 | Post region code/hack comment | |
1.- Turn On Philips BDP2900 2.- Press the Home button on the remote. 3.- Press 1389310 on the remote. 4.- Press the power off on the front of the player. 5.- Power on using the front of the player. Your Philips BDP2900 is now Region Free This was the hack for the 2850 however, I did this and was able to play my Region 2 PAL DVD's. | ||||
Can confirm above region code hack by CMoorehead, works on BDP2900/F7. Purchased Nov/2012 from Best Buy, Vancouver. Manufactured August 2012 (from sticker on back) Systems SW: 2.48 (from Settings>Advanced>Version Info) 0.- DO NOT CONNECT TO INTERNET, to prevent firmware updates that may block hack. 1.- Follow CMoorehead instructions above. Took 2 attempts - remote control bit cheap - buttons require firm press. Great player - built-in Netflix, Vudu, play from USB stick. | ||||
Just wanted to add that this works Brought new from wallmart today - manufactured Oct 2012, FW 2.50. The remote feels a bit cheap and there was no on screen confirmation so I did it twice as above. No on screen confirmation ever occurred but it does now play both region 1 and region 2 dvds (I didn't test it first so it is possible, if unlikely it was region free out of the box) | ||||
One other useful tip is that if you hit 'home' then '8520' it will show the current dvd region. Entering the hack above sets it to region 0 but you can change the last digit to 1,2,3,4 etc to change to that region. Apparently that is needed to play RCE discs (but I think they are ancient history). | ||||
I can verify this works on a Philips BDP2900/12 bought in December 2012 in Helsinki, Finland. I entered the hack posted by CMoorehead twice, since I accidentally pressed the open/close button after entering the code instead of the power button. Not sure which time it worked, but it did. And it was really easy. Thanks. | ||||
Switch on player (no disc in tray) 1) press home on remote 2) enter 1389310 with remote 3) switch off player (On player, not with remote) 4) switch on player Now your player is region free. works with player baught 01/2013 best buy 49.00$ enjoy ! | ||||
Hello... Just wanted to say that I too, was able to make my Philips BDP2900 Region Free using the above mentioned method. Was very skeptical if it would work with such an easy process. However, it did work and now can watch my PAL - Judge John Deed. Thanks to all involved!!! Grandpa Bambu - Brampton, Ontario Canada | ||||
