Go to SETUP and click on RESET FACTORY SETTINGS
Wait until the player restarts and now you can play all DVD regions

Bluray players cannot be updated to add more regions. You will need to purchase a Bluray player that supports the region of the movies you are trying to watch.

Did this to my philips BDP3200 blu-ray player and it plays region 1 dvd's, waiting on region 1 blu-ray to come to test blu-ray.
It still plays region 2 blu-rays after doing this.

Do this to change to it to region 0 so it can play any region.

1.Power on with no disc in tray
2.Press HOME
3.Enter 1389310

To check the current region

1.Power on with no disc inside
2.Press HOME
3.Enter 8520

It could be that the DVD's that you are referring is the original ones and those that do not play can be due to a region lock.
You can check with your philips dealer to unlock the player to your region .
there are sites that offer help and can be tried.

With your set on and without disc in the tray:

1. Press PLAY from your remote control
2. Press the following button sequence: 1590 2379 390
3. Press PLAY again

This will release the region verification in your home theater (region free). However, some DVDs (multiregion in particular) will not play, since they require region detection from the player unit.

I've done this to my 3090 and been using it like this for 3 years.

Hi,
You need to check the dvd player manual for region restriction, for region restriction dvd's you cannot play on your dvd player so check the region supported dvd's whcih you can play on your dvd player.
