Philips PET 704 - Good little unit, easy to use. I have made mine region '0' using the unlock instructions below
1) Open the tray (no power on) and make sure there is no disc in the player
2) Whilst the tray is still open, hold down the 'Menu' key on the player (not the remote)
3) Press the 'Power' button and continue to hold down the 'Menu' key
4) The Region Code menu will appear and you can set anything from 0-6 using the remote
5) Once the region is showing what you want it to, power off and it's done!
Hope that this is of use to many others.

My first recorder was awful could not play back any of my old tapes, rang Sony who did not help at all, sent back to Amazon who quickly sent out replacement unit. Second unit ok- video wise not perfect though. The one saving grace is the dvd part which does its job once you work out the timings for each speed.
I would not recommend this unit. The first Sony i have to give a thumbs down to.

Great looking player including remote & car adapter. Easily changed to Multi region which was my main reason for choosing this one. Video displayed on external TV is good, but internal screen has difficulty displaying text and subtitle captions clearly, the screen is a disappointment so overall just 3 stars.
This was a pressie for the kids and we are extremely happy with it. The picture quality is better than expected, sound very clear too. A great feature is it plays DIVX files.
Only minor problems are no battery options so it must always be plugged in. The mains adapter only has one socket so you can only power one screen. (the in car adapter has 2 power outputs so is fine)
Very easy to fit and take out when not in use.
For the price I would says is better than expected quality and so very good value.

Dont get me wrong this is a fab machine, i use to have the Philips 7" version (which was great), i took delivery of this new 8.5" version today - the picture is excellent and the sound is good (i wont go into any detail - there are plenty of better more detailed reviews here). The only drawback (its small i know - but i noticed it stright away), is that you can not fast fwd of fast rewind with the buttons on the machine, you have to use the remote - the 7" version allowed you to control everthing without the romote. Dont get me wrong, i recommend it - but just thought you should know.

We brought this product when it first came out and we did not realise that there is a design fault on it.
When you use this product and you keep lifting up the screen and putting it down, the screen will start to rub on the 'Push here to close button which is protruding over the unit ever so slightly. We took it back to a Sony recommended service agent and they mentioned someone else had brought in the same model with the same condition. They fitted a new screen and recommended us to place a layer of soft material in-between the screen and the unit, which for saying we brought this product for nearly £200.00 is appalling.
So save yourself a lot of money and head my warning, if it doesn't happen now to your screen it ... Read More:
