HELP - Philips 711 - Please Help DVD Locked!

After reading through these forums, I`ve bought 2 Region 1 Discs and followed the instructions using the Philips Remote Hack. After entering code 274 the machine went to the LOEWES screensaver and would not play the Region 1 Disc. I then entered the 159 code followed by 005000 12815 6 which turned the screensaver back to Philips, but the machine is now locked. I cannot enter any other code to cancel it. It will not turn on or off and the Disc drawer does not open. Please help - how do I undo this? The machine is 1 month old and this is my first attempt at the Hack! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

STAR WARS ON DVD

I`ve just obtained copies of all 4 of the Star Wars films. Whilst the packaging is authentic, along with picture disk and stamped DVD - I don`t believe they are true DVDs. My Phillips 711 reads them as DVDs and not VCDs, but the quality is more VCD than DVD. They are watchable and clear, but have no comparison to DVD quality. Does anyone know how these copies are produced? Do they have, as advertised on the disks, THX and Dolby Digital? The disks are from the Far East.

RE: Anyone Have a reason not to buy a Philips 711?

i went to allders and they had it for £229.00 with an advert saying they will match any price, we told them richer sounds were selling for £179,and with some persuasion we got it for £179.00. we have had no problems with it at all and would recomand the phillips to anyone

i am just about to buy my first dvd player and have read loads of reviews and am still unsure, do i go for a brand named player witch all seem to need a chip mod for multi region and wont play R.C.E disks, or do i go for remote hack dvd players. i have a buget of £200.00 but could go £50 higher for really good player. it will be connected to panasonic 29"AD2 T.V with R.G.B scart or s .vhs many thanks
