Useful site with hacks and firmware updates: http://www.phunkyfish.com/article/4/philips-dvp-596012

For External Driver.
1. Make sure your drive is formatted FAT32 (format as Primary drive, NOT extended with a logical). For drives larger than 32GB use this tool: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
or http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm
2. If your drive needs external power, make sure it is powered up and ready to go BEFORE plugging it into the DVP-5960.

Unlock
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray
3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
5. Enter 138931
6. You will now see the current region code displayed
7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
8. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
9. Press "OK" on the remote

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dvd player! So far I have hooked up my friends, BIL and now my parents with it.

The USB port rocks! Plug in a thumb drive and you are ready to roll. If you are a bit more daring you can format an external powered hard drive as FAT32 and play a TON of things.

Also, there is a code for this and it can be set to REGION 0. This was the initial selling factor for me but the USB is icing on the cake. Once you go USB you'll never go back. LOL

Will these upconvert over component? My HDMI is tied up with HD DVR. I have the 642 but like the USB. My 360 won't do DivX.

Nope. Technically they say Component doesnt have the necessary bandwith but in reality I think its copy protection that they want to preserve.

Technically you are right but Xbox upscales over VGA until the HDCP kicks in. I think I'll try it, anything to get Divx quality porn to work. Thanks, I shop a lot at phillips outlet.

hopkins07 said:no optical output Doesn't Digital coaxial out give you Dolby Surround? Or are you going for DTS? I don't thing I'd notice the diff. Also I think you HAVE to use FAT32 USB HDD, my X360 might do that too. Just thinking out loud, it's a good deal alright.

bummer. guess I'll stick with the Zenith from CC.

I tried this after I got from CC, and I ended up returning it. The image quality was not great even through HDMI. It failed to read some of my dvi files.
