Will this play all region Blu-Ray & DVDs?

I have had no issues with playing any Bly-Ray or DVDs from any region... (so far). It's a great unit! Just wish the cords were longer.

Upon first plugging the player into my computer, I was asked to choose a region, and was told that I could change the region up to 5 times. So it will play disks from all regions, but you'll want to be careful how often you switch back and forth, as upon the fifth change, you'll be stuck with that region permanently (apparently).

Otto, The answer is yes for most but not all. go this site to check if your player is listed. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks I think region 0 is the setting for all regions. Good luck. EdCherif

Yes this will play any cd,dvd, bluray. It will also burn all of those. I burn bluray movies and it works great. You will need to purchase the SATA connector wire separately, see link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GUX8YK/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Almost every Blu-ray or DVD player from Sony will only play discs for the region it is sold. Only a modified Sony player will play multiple regions , which will of course void its warranty.

I wish I could tell you 100% yes. It says it is all region free and will play any dvd from any country or region so I imagination it would. I know this answer it's that helpful but so far mine has never given me a problem with any region I've tried. I hope this helps.

i don't think so - it's advertised as an all-region DVD player. Check with the vendor instead.

Yes, it plays both file types. However, I would suggest you look further for an all region player. My experience with this was not good. The remote stopped working after only a couple of weeks of use. The player works, but without the remote it is very inconvenient. At least it was cheap.

I'm pretty sure it cannot. I'm not 100% sure, but to the best of my knowledge, "all region" DVD players are quite expensive.

No, I did my research after reading your question, and it looks like Blu-Ray uses a "region coding" system similar to DVD players.But if you're desperate to play PAL DVDs, Amazon's independent sellers have a lot of players that are region free, and you can get them for cheap. I got one for $50, and it's played any DVD I've thrown at it, regardless of region.

I always thought a Blue Ray player was different from a DVD player. Don't have any blue ray discs so wouldn't know. Sorry can't help you further. But it does play British and U.S. DVD's.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

As long as you have the codecs for DVD, any Blu Ray player will play them. If you're using Windows, Media Player will have the correct codecs.

This dvd player will not play a Pal BD disk or any Pal DVD for that matter. Gus K is wrong about no Pal Blu-ray. Just check Blu-rays at Amazon UK.

My unit plays all region DVDs. IT will play some Region 2 Blu-ray, but not other Region 2 Blu-ray. Anybody know why? Examples: it will play The Wicker Man region 2 Blu-ray, but not The Shout Region 2 Blu-ray. Please advise.

I'm not sure if it play BluRay discs (I don't own any), but it does play both the English & Australian DVDs we have.

It can play all regions with a pass code, that is easy as pie to get, and use only once. Be aware, even though this player can play PAL discs it does not do PAL 2:2 cadence, so you will see a poorer picture quality if upconverting(just like crap 3:2 pulldowns on NTSC, jaggies) If you are dgital and needs this feature you need one of the OPPO's with the Fajouda video chips...the 981, or 971. Hope that helpsStill great player :)
