1. Power ON the DVD player without a DISC inside
2. Press the skip keys in this order (the keys are under the "disc menu" and "stop"): right, left, right, left, right, right, left (YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SETUP MENU, just do this in the "blue screen".
3. It will show a menu with region, now use the arrow keys to select "region" and change to "test 0" (all regions).
4. Press OK to confirm. Enjoy

Same problem and until now no answers.
Living in Europ (Belgium) having a lot of American basketball video's who I cannot play.
You buy a very expensive Philips soundbar toghether with an even more expensive big flat Philips ambilight LED TV and it's imposible to feel you realy in the Boston Garden or at the LA Forum.
This s...s very much, I feel like Philips is shoplifting me.

This worked for me (taken from the service manual)
Power on Unit Select Disc Then Open / Eject Then type the following...
9999 followed by *subtitle* followed by the region you want EG: Region 2 would be - 9999 *subtitle* 2
Works perfect for me :)

sounds like you have one for the wrong reigon. cheek with the manual, if you have one. you may be able to fix so it will play them.

Open Tray
Place different zone DVD into player tray
Press 99990
Press Play
Presto, it worked like a charm!

HI Ian,
Have also just purchased a Philips HTS8140 with Philips LCD screen.
Found a result on web as follows:
1.Turn on TV
2.Turn on Sound Bar System.
3.Press eject.
4.Press 9 9 9 0 (0 being Region Free or place the desired region #)
(a message displaying "region 0",or the region you chose, will appear on the screen.)
5.Switch soundbar off to soundby.
6.Turn player back on and it should be either region free or the region you selected.

So far I have not been able to check with anyother disc exept region 4.

Hope this is of help for you!
