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.
Try searching the net for 'region code hack' for your model number. You can try on Fixya too, this time just put the above. If anyone knows it you should get a reply.
1.Keep Tray in eject position
2.Press Setup from remot
3.Go to preference page
4.Press"138931"
5.Using Navigation Key change region code to "0"
6.Press "OK"
7.Regionfree!!
Hey,
For clarification, was this home theatre system purchased in North America? If so, in all odds it is a "Region 1" DVD player. To play a "Region 2" video, you will need either a 'multi region' player or one that is designated as a "Region 2"
Many DVD players are preset to one region and if you use a DVD destined for any other region, the player will refuse to play. Some players have the option to change this to universal mode. Check your player's manual if yours has this facility.
Yes. You can play VCD movies and and Audio CDs on most players.
>Go to Setup.
>Select Preference Page.
>Press 1, 3, 8, 9, 3, 1 on the Philips DVP3986 DVD Player remote.
>Press the up/down key to select "0" which makes it region free.
>Press ok and exit setup.
Hi ,
The reason for the error message is because your DVD player is set to one specific zone.
The below procesure will open the DVD player to play all zones.
TURN ON THE PLAYER PRESS OPEN/CLOSE USING REMOTE PRESS STOP-7-3-4-4-6-6 YOUR REGION AREA WILL APPEAR.
PRESS "0" TO UNLOCK (OPEN the DVD player to ALL zones) ALL, THEN WAIT.
INSERT YOUR DISC.
Hope this helps. Let me know the status.
Thanks,
Mike
