The Phillips DVP3310 is a lovely little machine - slim, sleek, ultra-simple "plug in and play", does everything it says on the tin ...well, I guess so, because I actually only bought it to play dvds, not my music collection or photo collection as well. Anyways, it gets great reviews everywhere and, going by the picture quality even on my old tv in the office, it deserves all the praise it gets. The only niggle is the fact that you cannot turn the machine off; it is either in play mode or on stand-by, not quite as energy - and money - saving as you would expect nowadays.
The nicest feature, though, is the fact that, contrary to some comments on the web, it CAN be turned into a multi-region/region 0 player! Hooray! For a moment there I feared half of my dvd collection would go unseen from now on, but then a very nice person on the internet tried and tried until their little fingers bled (I'm embellishing here just a bit, I hope) and gave us the the answer all owners of multi-region dvd hoards have been waiting for:
1. Open the tray
2. Press "9879", followed by the desired region code ("0" for all regions/region-free/multi-region)
3. Press "OK"
And give your unending gratitude to "Flickboy", who originally posted this. Supposedly, it is a code already used by Phillips for another model, but it really works.
So have unlimited fun with this great little player ;-)
