You have received two contradictory answers to your question. Just a word to the wise. I want to know the answer to this question too, so let us know when you get the real correct answer.

Hi Rebecca -- I'm an owner, but not an expert. A quick Google search on "region 1 DVDs" took me to the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_codeIt looks like this Panasonic player will play Region 1 DVDs, assuming you purchased it in the USA, Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, or US Territories.I do not know if Panasonic (or anyone else) offers codes for playing other regions. Hope this helps!

Yes you will have to download each region. I would not recommend this item for your trip. I used mine for about a week and then it went back in the box. Too small and difficult to read.

This unit claims to play all regions. I personally have played American and Chinese DVD's and BluRay's; therefore I am sure it will play UK too. It is a very fine machine that I highly recommend.

It's an international player, that means it can play ever region dvd's (setting 0) but you can set it to just one region also. I switched to setting 2 (description how-to below) after it won't run some dvd's (first issues after about 6 month on setting 0, some dvds might change the software and then several dvds started to stop/jump/don't run at all - it depends so much which dvd - some run some don't and you never know which one starts making trouble ... I changed the setting to region 2 just recently, so I cannot say, if this is a solution for that annoying issue: How-to change the setting: 1. NO dvd indside/ 2. Press setup (remote)/ 3. Press the down arrow three times until you see the "preference" page/ 4. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1/ 5. Press up/down key to select region (0= all regions - trouble?/ 1 USA/2 Europe, Japan, South Africa ...)/ 6. Turn off the player DONE!

Hi, Because this is a disc drive, and not a standalone player, it all depends on your software, I believe. If you have the right software to play multi-region discs, you should be able to pop in your disc and the drive should be able to read it and play it on screen. And, of course, Amazon has a wonderful return policy so you're not left with something that doesn't work for you.

Yes, all regions. You have to set it to region zero (all regions). There's a code to input, look it up. But it's very easy.

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.

I'm not really sure because I only live in the one region of the United States. I do however have a couple discs from the UK and it seems to play them without a problem.

Yes, definitely. I bought it for my brother. Now he can play American and English DVD's. The machine automatically knows which type of DVD you insert. It saves you having to have two DVD players, one for each country.

Yes it does. It will play Pal also. I haven't played any other region DVDs. There are instructions for other regions but I haven't used that option. Nice player. Hope this helps !!!

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

Yes, unless you have an old analog TV. If your TV is new like in the last 15 years it should be fine.I have two Phillips multi region players on two different TV's, It has multi hook up options. I have over 200 region 2 dvd's no problems.

No, it only plays one disk at a time, but will play both Blu-Ray and DVDs from all regions.
