Try contacting philips they should be able to provide you with the original firmware, maybe by downloading it from the net.

Check the back of your machine and input the appropriate factory code.

DVD963SA/001 play 159 222 012 00 play
DVD963SA/171 play 159 111 010 00 play
DVD963SA/691 play 159 323 010 00 play

This should revert your player to out of the box settings.

Please tell me you findings.
