I too have had problems implementing the RC6 and 'play 159' hacks. I was wondering could someone tell me if there is a specific palce to start the hack? Should a disc be in the machine or not? should i been in systems menu when i attempt the hacks etc etc.... Your help would be very much appreciated thank you. | |||

I tested this hack myself and it works fine.For all region Steps Switch off the System. Make sure the tray is empty Switch on the power by pressing the DISC button in remote 'NO DISC' will be displayed keep on pressing the following without any pause. and ignore the hand sign in the screen (For Region 1) PLAY 159 111 001 08 PLAY (for region 5) PLAY 159 531 001 08 PLAY end........ NOTE 159 is must for all regions The next three digits signifies Region,System,Language Code respectively i.e First number is the region code eg 1 = Region 1 ,2 = Region 2 etc Second number is the TV system where 1= NTSC ,2=PAL ,and 3 =AUTO Third is the Menu/Audio Subtitle Language. Thus 111 means Region 1,NTSC,English 531 means Region 5,AUTO,English 521 means Region 5,PAL,English The next three digits will be constant for this particular model.i.e.001 for MX3900D The next three are the 'AFS' number that tells the MPEG board what model it's fitted in 001 = LX3900D/LX3500 /MX3660 and the last two is the OEM derivative where Philips = 08 Caution: Use the 'Play 159 Play' command the resets the change at any point of time and if the region has been changed by mistake...this command bring it back to the last setting | |||

the hack for the mx3950d works for the 3900 I just tried it. The key is to have the unit on Disc one. Once it stops going through all the trays looking for discs it usually stops on 5, press disc skip until it displays disc one. then use these steps (posted under 3950 -- Thanks to Fabio Ramos!) How to make your MX3950D region free, including RCE discs (straight from Philips) 1) Turn the set on ensuring no discs are inside the unit 2) Press "disc/media" button on the remote 3) Set display to disc 1 - wait for the "No Disc" display 4) Press the "disc menu" button on the remote control 5) Enter the following numbers slowly on the remote "1 5 9" (A light will flash in the bottom right of the display as each digit is registered) 6) "-0-0-0-0" appears on the display if done correctly 7) Enter "222222005255" on the remote 8) Press "disc menu" on the remote 9) Wait for "done" display 10) Press "Standby" 11) Restart unit - press "disc/media" | |||
