Unlock dvd player to play all dvd regions

I have a Philips HTS 8140 sound bar and am unable to play dvd's that I bought when living in the uk on it. I would like the code to unlock the dvd player in order to play dvd's from all regions.

    I have a panasonic dvd/cd home theater sound system SA-HT70 and am unable to play dvd's and cd's that Ibought . I would like the code to unlock thedvd/cd player in order to play dvd's and cd's from all regions.

    I believe that the codes are hard wired into the system. That was the reason for them in the frst place. Stop people from selling copied DVD from overseas from  being sold elsewhere.

Maybe you can use a DVD copy program to get a copy without region code and then you can play the copy with the same contents on your player. DVD player usually can change region code for limited times and I won't suggest to do it.

I have a Philips HTS 3371 DVD home theatre and can not play many DVD's as it give wrong region error. Can you please provide the unlock code and how/where to enter it to get it fixed?

Hi -

Please follow the instructions below for unlocking your Philips HTS 3371


Please note: Unlocking a DVD player may invalidate the warranty. Unlock sequences may not work with some firmware updates and some DVD players have been damaged through failed attempts to unlock them. Unlocking your DVD player is done at your own risk.


1. Switch the DVD player ON
2. OPEN the disc tray
3. Key 9 9 9 9 0 using the Philips remote control supplied with the player
4. Press PLAY. The disc tray will close.
5. Switch the player OFF then switch ON again.
6. To test, play a disc from a region which was previously locked.

If it does not work the first time, switch the player off and back on, then try again.

This is a verified unlock method, but I was unable to confirm whether it works for players sold locked to Region 1 (North America). If you have a Region 1 player and the method above does not work, you will not be able to unlock your player.

Regards,
BElectric

I GOT YOUR HELP PREVIOUSLY. RECENTLY I AM HAVING FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH MY PHILLIPS HOME THEATRE MODEL-HTS-3265. **** I HAVE BOUGHT ONE VIDEO CD OF VIOLIN BROTHERS LIVE CONCERT FROM ASHA AUDIO BUT...

It's possible that this DVD is not from the same region as the DVD player.
For instance, a DVD from India (region 5) will not play in a DVD player from the US (region 1).
You may want to check into that and post a reply here.

I have a Phillips DVDR70 player. It only plays dvds bought in UK. I have some dvd's I got from USA and can't play them. Is there any way to overide the operating system which will allow the Us dvd's to...

You need to unlock the player before it will play discs from other regions. UK has region 2 discs while the US has region 1.

Search on Google for your DVD model and unlock code.
Dial in the code using your remote and you should then be able to play any region discs from around the world.

Multi region code for philips hts 3090 dvd player

With your set on and without disc in the tray:

1. Press PLAY from your remote control
2. Press the following button sequence: 1590 2379 390
3. Press PLAY again

This will release the region verification in your home theater (region free). However, some DVDs (multiregion in particular) will not play, since they require region detection from the player unit.

I've done this to my 3090 and been using it like this for 3 years.
