This is the second generation of the kameleon. I bought one tp try to make my Philips DVD 952 regio code free according to the directions below :

Region code hack posted by bensiu, February 08 2005:
You will need a One-4-All uniwersal remote for this (Send the infra-red code RC6 (aka Codeset 4, Key 235))

Converting the player to Multi-Region:
1. Set up the remote with the code 0, 5, 3, 9.
2. Press the MAGIC button.
3. Press 085. The display should read: '----'.
4. Enter following with the normal Marantz remote: 222 222 005 255.
5. Press ENTER.
6. The player should now be region-free.

To change to a specific region:
1. Set up the remote with the code 0, 5, 3, 9.
2. Press the MAGIC button.
3. Press 085. The display should read: '----'.
4. Enter following with the normal Marantz remote: 222 222 005 255, followed by the region number required.


However it fails already at step 2/3 since my dvd does not react at all (does not give ---- on the display) although I can operate my dvd completely with the kameleon. What am I doing wrong??? Does the sequence "magic button 085" does not generate the RC6 code ??????? Can anyone help me and send me am e-mail at [email protected]

many thanks in advance
