DVD Player Wrong region error

I have purchased a new philips dvd player recently (model no.DVP 3256 with usb port)
and on sunday i plan to see a nice movie, i selected some English movies from seventymm.com, and while play the dvd its giving wrong region error. unable to play the DVD
I decided to call the customer care of philips and said the above problem, but they said u need to carry the player into their service centre which one is 25km from my home, its very difficult to go there, and finally i decided to play some technical stuff on the player, after several attempts i done this. 
find the tips as follows...


Solution:
1) remove the dvd into your tray
2) Switch off / on the dvd player
3) from remote Bring up the System Menu
4) Navigate to the Preferences page.
5) Press the following combination of keys on your remote in this order to bring up the secret menu showing the Region Code.
135566.
6) Use the arrow keys on the remote control to change the Region. To make it region free, set the Region code to “0″ (zero).
7) press exit on the remote control and switch on / off the player
See the magic...All DVD can play now.
