Is Panasonic DMP-BD60 All Region Zone free Blu-Ray DVD Player Universal Voltage??

The USA model will only accept 120V power. There are some merchants who will include a 220V transfomer to allow you to use it overseas. You must check the item listing if a transformer is included (some merchants charge extra for the transformer). Otherwise, it will be only for USA locations.

First and foremost the Panasonic EH69 was specifically built as an export device for Europe. When I purchased mine (reviewed here on amazon) I made certain that the unit would work here the USA. This is most likely why the outside of the carton is displaying region code 2. If you have unpacked your unit, does it have the ability to select multiple voltages, specifically 110-117 for North America? Secondly, you should have an accessory included, one North American plug adapter, which converts the European style plug to our standard receptacle plug. If you do not have these two features, I would contact the place of purchase and attempt a refund/return. I purchased my unit w/o any warranty whatsoever knowing the risk involved but I had also conversed with the seller ensuring the unit was manufactured with multiple voltages. If your missing only the plug adapter then those are available online for purchase and it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

xavier, I was looking for the same feature set: an upscaling DVD player, converting PAL to NTSC, region-unlocked. I opted for a Pioneer DV-49AV hardware modified by 220-electronics to be region free to take advantage of the high quality conversion engine; I don't think the Pioneers accept a software region unlock code. Another suggestion might be the Philips DVP5982 which appears to have an unlock code but not quite as high a quality upscaling chipset as the Pioneer; I've not tried the 5982, but I've had good experiences with the older non-upscaling DVP5140 reading region 2 PAL DVDs.

Does anyone know if there is a patch for multi-region viewing on the BD570 yet? It's been a great machine, but we watch international DVDs and it's a pain to have two machines for this purpose only!Thanks for any help I can get on this.Tim

By default your blu ray player is set for region free dvd. You may use the remote control to set the region blu ray region for A or B or C Make sure the quick mode start for the unit is set to off. Press Standby/on to turn off the unit. Press 1 for Region A Press 2 for region B Press 3 for region C The unit will power on automatically. To pay dics from other regions repeat the process

I seem to remember a similar question and the answer involved voltage selections for foreign travel. If that is still important to you should go to PANASONIC . COM and give them a call. I wish you the best in this endeavor. ROD S.

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

Thanks for your reply. I had equated NTSC or PAL with the region. So, if I want to play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, regardless of what region these discs are, I would need a player that can be set to region 0 = region free?

The player it self works off 12 v dc so if you buy it you would have to get a 220v transformer with the same output as the one that comes with it. You will love it the best blu-ray player I have ever own.

we ordered this one: Philips Region Free DVD Player - 1080p HDMI Upconverting - PAL/NTSC 110-220 VoltsNotice that the model isn't specified. Sorry, but already sent it back to Amazon. It was junk. The seller had cut part of the box off in the back; probably where the original region was. The box had been opened. My guess is so that someone could enter the hack code. This was as expected. It's too bad it didn't work out.

"Region free" means you may play DVDs from various regions. That is, rather than playing DVDs from just the USA (as most DVD players sold in the USA do), this unit will play DVDs from other countries as well as those from the USA. I use it to play DVDs of British films/TV shows I can't access in the USA. (Please note that it plays DVDs---but not blu-ray---from other countries.)

No. The following is from the manual:"BD-Video: This player plays BD-Video with marks containing the region code A.DVD-Video: This player plays DVD-Video with marks containing the region code 1 and ALL."

Hi there , this model is region 1 only and to be honest we would recommend buying a Kenwood dnx system instead.Thank you.

My region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.

Yes. After entering the region unlock sequence described in one of the reviews, I am able to view PAL region 2 DVDs in 1080i. (I don't yet have a 1080p display device, so I've not yet verified that personally.)

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.

Could someone who owns this product reply if the DVD player is rated 100-240V. Most DVD players are universal voltage, however Sony website says its only 120V compatible. Its strange but can somebody please confirm? Thanks.
