    Thanks but it is made by Lenoxx don't think it is a Philips machine. I already checked the DVDunlocker listing and it isn't listed under Durabrand or Lenoxx.

Unfortunately, there are no Free region hacks for this player. But for about 15 bucks, you can get a hack from here:

Hope that helps!

    You could also try this:


        Open The DVD Door

        Press Language Button Once

        Press Return 3 times

        You will then see the region code on screen

        Use your up and down arrows to select region 0

        YOU ARE THEN REGION FREE
    Or you can try http://tinyurl.com/46sop8 for $9.95..

Welcome-
I'm sorry to tell you that if none of the other ideas that have been given to you wil work, then most likely the codes and procedures have not been released yet. I know thats not what you wanted to hear but I also searched the web and was only finding what everyone else has told you.

i'm sorry that fixya couldn't help you

happy holidays

If you own a DVD player from Durabrand, private product brand of Wal-Mart, you can use the following hack to unlock the Durabrand DVD players’ region code so that the DVD player can plays any DVD-video discs regardless of the discs’ region code.

    It appears that as yet, there is not a FREE  one about on the Net yet.The hack I gave you was for the same series of player "pdv7XX" , and it is worth trying ANY  hacks unlock codes for Lennox/Durabrand make of DVD. Sometimes the same electronics may be used.  Clumsy approach, but may well sort it out for you. Other than that, it may well be worth emailing Durabrand distributors in your area and request any information they may have pertinent to your model.

I have a Durabrand dual screen 7" portable dvd player Model PDV-722. Has worked fine for over a year. Now it just spins and says loading. Then it will say disc error. I have tried several discs and have...

Looks like your optical sensor is gone. And considering the price of the PDV-722 replacing the optical unit is not an option. By the other hand I have a burned slave monitor and I would be happy to buy yours to complete my set, which is reading DVD's very well.

The company that made these DVD players for Wal Mart has gone out of business in November. Wal Mart is exchanging them for a player of equal or lesser value.

You could check Radio Shack to see if there is an ac adaptor that will work with your player as well.
