I do not know if it is region free. I sold the vehicle that I installed it in and I gave the new owner the dvd players and all the documents that pertained to the players. I apologize in advance for not being able to help you out.

I haven't tried any other region dvds yet to try it out. But it does say it's region free in the description.

The ability to block region free playing was one of the reasons that studios lined up behind Blu Ray. HD DVD was inherently cheaper to manufacture and was region free but just like Betamax the worse one won. If you want to play region free DVDs you will do better to buy one of Oppo's standard DVD players, which also do an excellent job of upconverting. My UK and French DVDs look great, much better than most standard DVDs, but still not as good as HD TV or Blu Ray alas.

Brazil has the same zone as the US for blu-ray: Zone A. So, Blu-ray will not be a problem.

Apparently this unit can't be made region-free.I bought the Philips DCP951/37 (saving some bucks), which, like with any Philips DVD player, can be made region-free by punching a few codes (a once in its lifetime operation). The code is easily searchable.Life's too short to deal with the region-lock BS.

the dvd only read region #1 DVD discs (USA DVD), but dont worry, you just need to recode videos and movies into a flash device or HD. More here:

It's my understanding that the disks burned by this item are region free. I have never had any problem with them being played on any blu ray player.

Yes! That's its best feature. In fact, I just ordered another Region 2 DVD from the UK of a film not available in Region 1 in the U.S. I love it! Definitely worth getting if you don't want to be limited to what's available in this region.

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!

One thing is the DVD region. Another thing is it's format.The region doesn't determine the format.For example, DVD's made in Australia and Latin America are region 4, but they differ in the format (PAL in Australia, NTSC in Latin America). In Argentina, both formats (PAL and NTSC) are used for region 4 DVD's.So, a DVD/BRD player may be "region free", but american ones may not be able to play 50 Hz content (576i@50Hz or 1080i@50Hz)

I don't understand what you mean by "region free". This is just a portable DVD player that can be used to play DVDs. I use it in my home and it works well.

I actually live in Peru but to be honest all my discs have been bought in US. I am out of the country now but I can check next week if it works with region 4

No, It will not allow you watch DVDs purchsed outside US! But there must be a way to change the region setting!

As far as I know they are all region free out of the box. I read it somewhere down the line that they can play all regions from the get go.

No, to my knowledge the player is not region free nor can it be modified to enable it to play other region DVDSAmazon sells a Yamaha multi region capable player that I have which is excellent but it is not a portable DVDS player.

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon.Hope that helps :-)
