Sorry for the multi-post on this but the solution for the power-down issue effecting the region free hack was right next door. The hack for Philips DVD 580HC works for the Philips DVD 580MT and is power-down resistant! I verified this hack works with soft (remote) power-down. To make the region free hack "permenent" press stop 5 times after you enter the initial codes. Complete instructions:

Hack works for firmware
DVD580M171V01-ES-021225.
Purchased Target 6/03.

I did not encounter the problem with hard
power-off. I unplugged the player and also
powered off on the player, and the hack still
worked. Also, I changed the region setting 11
times, so if there is a limit to the number of times
you can change regions, it is an unusually high
one.
