Multi-region is hidden! July 3, 2007
104 out of 104 found this review helpful
I bought two of these and was disappointed to find they were both Region 1 only...until I did this:
1. Make sure there is no disc in the player.
2. Turn power off and on again.
3. Open the tray.
4. On the remote, hit 9879 and then 0. This changes unit to Reion 0, meaning it'll play all regions.
5. Hit OK on the remote.
A little too early to really review, although it seems to play everything well and has a slim, small footprint that's easy to slip atop other boxes. Remote, for once, has decent-size transport buttons that an old fart like me can see without glasses, a real plus.
Easy to use, does what it is supposed to do!! January 2, 2008

I was struggling with my old Coby multi-region player which had the cumbersome requirement of having to take out the disk and punch in an on-screen code to get it to accept region 1, 2 or 3, then put the disk back in. If you got the code wrong, your TV picture got corrupted and kept scrolling. Also, subtitles kept dropping off the screen during dialog. Needless to say I was very unhappy with the old Coby. I bought this Philips to replace it, and I am happy and amazed that I don't have to enter a code for a different disk region. It plays the DVD without losing the subtitles, exactly the way it was intended. It is reasonably priced, light-weight and easy to use. After playing a region 2 DVD, I tried a region 1 DVD (with subtitles), and it made the transition with no problems at all!!! Highly recommended if you have disks from different countries in different formats.
The only slight drawback is that the remote control does not have a button to open/eject the disk. But since you have to manually insert or remove the disk, it's not really important. You can shut the player off from the remote control; you just can't eject the disk.
 Works Great January 19, 2008

I purchased this DVD player so my son could watch DVD's my family ship over from the UK. I put in the code as advised by one of the other reviewers and it works great.

The performance of our DVP3140 was spotty right from the beginning. At first we blamed an occasional disc, but over time it has become obvious that this player has "issues." Even brand new, flawless discs -- both commercial releases and PC-burned content -- will yield anything from random artifacts to intermittent freeze-ups. In terms of enjoyment, the DVP3140's worth quickly goes right through the floor. I don't plan to buy another Philips product ever again.
Plays well-like the other Phillips DVD players February 16, 2008

I bought this player for my best friend as a birthday present. I had bought two region free players last year--both were the discontinued Phillips 640 model--and they have worked fine. I bought this one from a dealer as a refurbished model; when my friend opened it and when we put in the DVD (that I'd purchased from the UK) it did not play. I immediately checked the Amazon website and thanks to one of the reviews I was able to get it to play the UK discs and the ones bought here in the US as well. I know my friend is happy because she can now see the Bad Girls series without having to wait for it to crawl by every week on one of the cable channels. This is a very good choice for a region free player and also works well as the "everyday" player for your movie watching as well.
