ALL REGION CODEFREE – PHILIPS DVP 5990 HI-DEF 1080P UPCONVERTING DVD PLAYER. PLAYS DVDS FROM ANY COUNTRY ON AMERICAN TVS. REMOTE INCLUDED. User Review

I am writing this short “review”–let’s call it a Public Service Announcement–so you can make your Philips DVP5990 DVD player Region-Free. This works with either suffix (DVP5990/F7 or DVP5990/37) and probably any other variation; perhaps these denote what retail channel the box was sold through, or maybe it is simply a firmware reference. In any case, I will not elaborate on the technical aspects of this model, other than to say it is already a great value for the fifty to sixty dollars it usually sells for. I also cannot speak to the virtues of any particular vendor here, but whatever you do, DO NOT pay a premium to some company for a “Region-Free” DVP5990, because all they will be doing is what I tell you below. (Or, as at least one person has reported, you might pay more simply to get a piece of paper with the same instructions to do it yourself!)

This unit is HDMI-compatible and even includes a USB port on the front panel. It also plays just about everything and that’s even before you make it region-free. Although the manufacturer will not admit it, the hardware in these DVD players is manufactured to play all regions, and a (very flimsy) layer of protection is then added depending on where the product will be sold. USA = Region 1, Europe = Region 2, etc.

Many DVD players can be easily returned to the default Region 0 (= PLAY ALL) setting simply by entering a hidden code on the remote, and this DVP5990 is no exception. I will make it super easy for you below. Make sure the DVD tray is empty before you start. And obviously you will need a non-Region 1 DVD to actually test that it works in the end.

(Step 0: Turn on the DVD player but make sure the tray is empty, i.e., don’t put a disc in.)
1. Press “Setup” on the remote.
2. Using the right arrow (”>”) on the remote, move over to “Preference Page”. You do not need to push “OK”.
(Please note that if a disc is in, you will not be allowed to access the the “Preference” menu.)
3. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1 in that exact order on remote. (Again, you do not need to push “OK”.)
4. Region Code screen will be displayed. (It will almost certainly show Region 1, unless someone has already made the change for you.) Press the up arrow (”^”) once to select “0″.
5. Press “Setup” on the remote.

I suggest to repeat Steps 1 through 3 to confirm region setting.

Congratulations, you now have a region-free player as it was designed in the Philips factory! You can now play discs from around the world, many of which are cheaper or quite simply available for sale when other versions are not. Wouldn’t it be nice if everything in life were this easy?

P.S. Same code works for many models across the Philips range.

[DISCLAIMER: Whether or not you believe the scare tactics that this may void your warranty is up to you. And don't mess about with other settings unless you feel comfortable doing so.]
