Hacking a DVD player

Following instructions from Amazon, here is how to make a Phillips HDRW720 / DVDR725H DVD player with hard disk region code free:

Make sure no disc is in the tray
Press the disc menu on the remote control
Press play,1,5,9 (dashes will appear in the display)
press 1,2,1,2,1,2,0,0,5,2,5,5
Press play

Worked on mine, so now I can watch US DVDs. Seeing how in the USA the DVDs are often cheaper and the choice much greater, that is useful.
