**The URL has the instructions, it's VERY easy. For instance, on my
Philips, you just turn it on, open the tray, press in the sequence 7,
8, 9, ok, 0 (zero) and it was hacked (the zero being your region
choice). The hack for the DVP5960 is actually a bit more involved but
still easy, in fact, it's almost exactly what I had to do to hack my
Magnavox. All of the players convert PAL to NTSC on the fly right out
of the box so you should be able to immediately play any all-region,
Region 0 and burned PAL DVDs without hacking it. I can switch back and
forth between NTSC and PAL and different region discs with no
problems, you don't have to do anything to your player or TV.
