Hola, aqui te puedo ayudar. Por favor dime que tiene tu TV o de que forma te puedo ayudar. Gracias por comunicarte con fixya!

turn system menu to preference page - insert 811502 and change region to zero

I have the same problem. Je ne se pas, c'est la memme choise pour moi.

It worked for my Philips PET741/37:

1. Power ON the DVD player without a DISC inside
2. Press the skip keys in this order (the keys are under the "disc menu" and "stop"): right, left, right, left, right, right, left (YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SETUP MENU, just do this in the "blue screen".
3. It will show a menu with region, now use the arrow keys to select "region" and change to "test 0" (all regions).
4. Press OK to confirm. Enjoy

Here's a few things you can try. Please remember to switch your player off and back on again after each thingy you try^^ It saves it on some memory thingy^^

1) Go to Setup page
2) Preference page
3) Press 138931
4) Press up/down key to select region code

or

# Turn On unit
# Press the Setup button on the remote
# Navigate to the Preferences page using the Right arrow key
# Press the Down arrow once to enter the Preference page
# Enter 1, 3, 8, 9, 3 and 1 on the remote
# You will now see the current region code displayed
# Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or 0 for all regions
# Press the Play or OK button on the remote

if your zone is not saved to your dvd player. then do not switch the unit off and on again. throughout my experiences most require to do so, but since I don't work with a lot of Philips models I can only hope it helps^^

Good luck and let me know^^
