xavier, I bought this DVD player because I saw it described on another site as being able to play all regions' DVDs. I was disappointed when I tried to watch a DVD from Japan, only to get the "incompatible disc region message". I called Pioneer for clarification and they said it is illegal for U.S. manufacturers to build DVD players that can play any region other than Region 1 (USA). So unfortunately, you will not find one built in this country (legally) that will be compatible with anything else. Additionally, I had the idea to just buy a Japanese DVD player, but after checking Amazon Japan, I think they said it's illegal for them to export DVD players to foreign countries. As far as "unlocking" regions, that would require installing a pirate chip, again illegally, and I don't even know if such a thing exists for this model of DVD player. So I guess I have to become a criminal if I want to watch DVDs unavailable in this country. Good to know our government is protecting us so thoroughly.

No, it does not. It only plays DVDs from the region where you buy the player. Source: personal experience :(

So far it has played my region 2 dvds. The picture isn't quiet the quality as my US dvds, but it does work, and worked out of the box. Didn't need to tweak it at all.

yes, the dvd player is region free right out of the box - will play any region and I have personally used the player to play both UK (region 2) and US (region 1) dvds. The unit handles going from region 2 to region 1 and back to region 2 with absolutely no hesitation. The unit is also PAL/NTSC compatible which means something completely different - if you have a UK purchased television it is in PAL format while a US television is in NTSC format - this unit can be connected to either US or UK television and the image will display correctly. The plug that is with the unit is a US plug.

It plays all region dvd's but not blu ray's.I bought it because I have several dvd's from France that I wanted to play and they work fine. Hope that helps.Thanks

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.

Hi there! Amazingly yes it does work- I thought that I would need to buy a multi region player but it plays on mine which is a sony home theatre system which is quite old :-) good luck!

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

No, it is Region One restricted. It will play Region 0 discs also, but not other regions.

Yes it will play all regions, but you have to select which region when you set it up. You are allowed to change regions up to five times only, then it will be fixed to the last selection.

Sorry Twila, it won't. You need to have a region FREE dvd player and this is only for the US. Oh, by the way, stay clear from Amazon on this one, unless you do not mind buying used-reconditioned items that they say is NEW.

the media format says NTSC and PAL so I assume yes but the manual says that the region code is printed on the bottom of the DVD player and will only play discs from that region. It says Region 1. -__-

No, this unit is not a region free unit and it will only play region 1 DVDs.

It plays my DVDs from US and Europe. However, since I am using windows I still needed to set a region code for the drive. You need a software like AnyDVD to overcome the Reagion Code issue.
