	Region code hack posted by Richard McAuley, May 11 2003:
	I can confirm this. Got a 625 from HongKong last week. Open/Close 9,9,9,9,0 Open/Close. Don't rush, leave about a second between each press.

	My Philips DVD 625 came region free (modified by the dealer) here in the United Arab Emirates. I have tested the code I found on the link below and it works. With the tray open, key in 9,9,9,9,0 and the player is region free. The display shows Region: 0 Using 1, 2 etc instead of 0 in the above sequence sets it to region 1, 2 etc... Should help with RCE discs(untested) http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/forums/thread.asp?Forum=176&Thread=169433&Type=1 Love its slim design!

	I can confirm that the above hack works, just do this: 1) Turn on the player 2) Open the tray. 3) Press 9 9 9 9 on the remote, you can do it rather slowly. 4) Press what region you want, 0 is regionfree. VCD works fine after the hack, I haven't tried SVCD yet.

	One word of caution - you can only change region code up to 25 times with this method, then it will lock to the 25th region code entered - this according to amazon.co.uk who sell this model as "multi-region capable" - still thats a lot of changes ! ;-))

	I can confirm that this hack works in Sweden too. Open the tray with the "Open/Close" button, when it's open, press 9,9,9,9,0 with a second between each press. After you've done that, close the tray by pressing again at the "Open/Close" button (DAH!?). When that's done you will see a text: "Region: 0". If it says that, that means it's right.

	I have a large selection of films on dvd from around the world. the above hack works great to unlock the unit for all of them, NTSC, PAL and 4 different zone's tested including 1 & 2. Unit was purchased from argos in the uk. Simple as above. Open Tray Press Display enter 9 9 9 9 then 0 REGION 0 will appear on the screen for a second or two, and thats it. This unit is great, slim and good looking with a very good picture. Thanks Mike

	I just bought a 625 in Finland. The "open tray, slowly press 9,9,9,9,0" hack did NOT work for me. However, the "open tray, press DISPLAY, then QUICKLY press 9,9,9,9,0" did work!

	Confirmed again from sweden. This works fine but have the channel that shows the dvd-logo on and press display on the remot first. You will get some information about the player. Last it says REG:X. X depends on wich region it is set to. If X is zero then your dvd-player is regionfree. Else you type 9, 9, 9, 9, 0 on the remote to make it regionfree. Good luck

	Did the same as most people: open tray 9 9 9 9 0 close tray No reply on the display or screen so I figured it didn't work. But the result was perfect: It's regionfree. Bought in Denmark in January 2004. Thanks to all.

	Using the region free hack on teh DVD625K with the open, 9,9,9,9,0 wait and close technique listed so many times on this site worked for me only after holding the remote very close to the DVD player. So if you are not succeeding try the up close and personal approach.

	The hack works dated 30/10/2003 Changing Region Setting on Philips DVD62 Open Draw/Tray of DVD Player Press Display Whilst OSD in on the TV Screen Press 9-9-9-9-0 On Screen display will confirm Region 0 0 = Multi Region VCD and SVCD Still work and RCE becomes capable 1 = US and Canada 2 = UK The DVD can be hacked up to 25 times possibly 24 if you consider that the machine had to be set up in the first place. However in theory ones the DVD is set-up for Multi Region. Why would you need to change it again? I suppose it’s possible that putting in the same region DVD many times could fix it in that format however I for one am willing to take the chance as if one were to purchase a Multi region set you’d expect it to remain multi region for the life of the DVD Player The hack doesn’t seem to affect any other reading format within the DVD. Good luck

	Greetings from frosty Norway :D This region hack worked for my "Norwegian" Philips DVD625: 1. Turn on DVD with remote 2. Open tray using button on player 3. After a few seconds, type the button "9" on the remote control FOUR TIMES with about 1 second pause in between each time 4. About 1 second after the last "9", press the number corresponding with the region you would like to set your DVD Player to. 0 (zero) is for ALL Regions, i.e. "Region Free". 5. If you select to press "0" on your remote after the four "9"'s, "Region:0" is now displayed on screen (no on screen messages prior to this point. And that's it - I pressed "0" and my Philips DVD625 is now region free. Open/Close 9,9,9,9,0 Open/Close. Don't rush, leave about a second between each press.

	The hack above only worked for me when my TV was turned on, so make sure you do that. The message appears on your TV screen, and not on your player!

	Region code hack posted by Aj, November 15 2005:
	I have noted a peculiar problem. There is somthing that resets the hack, cant figure out exactly what...!! I had my player region free all this time, but suddenly yesterday, when i tried playing a Region 2 disc, which i was always playing, the player said "Wrong Region". Seems like something has reset the region code on the player. Would re apply the hack and see if it works..! (My guess on what resets the region, having a DVD in the tray and switching off the player using the remote, without closing the tray. The player switches off after closing the tray...though i have not confirmed this. Does any one have a similar experience..?)
