Hello,
I am here to ask a kind soul to please give me the instructions to unlock my Philips DVP 5980 player because I have several Canadian DVDs due to my origins... I have done a lot of research online but to no avail, which is why I hope to hear back from you... I had found a code to enter but it does not work; this code was 6 digits while only 5 digits can be entered... Anyway, I look forward to your reply as soon as possible and thank you in advance... Kiss

      Hello Kristian, I just saw that you solved the region unlocking issue for a Philips player...

      As for me, I have a Philips DVP3350V/19 player and I would also like to unlock it...

      Do you have any information regarding this player???

      Thank you, best regards...

    nothing could be simpler: you can find all the information for almost all models from all brands on the site: http://www.multi-region.net/
    you just need to understand English. I took 10 seconds for my Toshiba SD 352E player

    I have a DVP 5990 and we can't enter any codes. In the setup, I have "disc lock" grayed out and cannot access it. No preference menu.
    Thank you for your help.

      Can you confirm that it is indeed a DVD5990 that you have unlocked using the procedure:

      1. Turn on the player without inserting a disc
      2. Press "Setup" on the remote
      3. Go to the "Preferences" page
      4. Enter "138931" and the current region displays
      5. Use the Up and Down arrows to change the region (0 = multi-region)
      6. Press "play" (remote...


      This procedure seems incomplete??... Is there something after line 6 (after the ellipses) that needs to be known

      jfr2504 says in the same forum:
      "I have a dvp 5990 and we cannot enter codes. In setup, I have "disc lock" grayed out, impossible to access. No preferences menu."

      Do you have any idea/suggestion about what his problem (which is also mine) could be

      Thank you in advance!

      And for the "region unlocking" of a Philips DVP3850/12, is the procedure the same or is there a different procedure with a code to include?
      Thank you for your help.

      With a 5990, I had a bit of trouble, but the current zone eventually showed up (enter the numbers slowly) when I opened the "DVD box" and it worked, I was able to enter "0" to select the zone and watch a movie from the United States.

      Good luck!

    Thanks, it works perfectly on my dvp3260!

    And to respond to the last message, there are several tabs and disc lock has nothing to do with the unlocking procedure apparently. The preference page is the 4th tab on the right (you just need to press > three times and then follow the instructions given here.

      Hello, I'm sorry but I have a DVP 3350V and I tried this technique in vain, I must have missed a step in the process to unlock it... Could you please give me the step-by-step technique? Thank you in advance...
