I followed reprogram sequence. The Philips dvd-580 accepted region 0 reprogram....BUT when I tried to press stop 5 times, the hand symbol came up on screen. Does this mean the hack did not enter as permanent? When I try to do the sequence again, the machine won't go into the reprogram mode. HOWEVER, it will now play any region dvds. BUT is this the temporary fix that only loads 25 dvds then locks up? How can I verify that this is permananent? When I attempt to check firmware it won't let me.....and it never asked me to do this after reprogram which worries me. We just bought this Philips in 2004.
