Yes it Does Play PAL discs, BUT, they have to be ALL region or region A/1. Same with DVD's, if they are all region PAL, it WILL play it.gerard masters

No it is not, as I know from experience. It failed to play my wife's polish origin DVD.

As you know, LG was made in Korea. I believe that it is a region free player. You can select and set your own region on the setting menu. I have various original Blu-ray / 3D movies made in North America, Europe, and Asia, which have been playing fine on this player. Make sure that you will compare prices before making a purchase, and that never buy a second handed player. Good luck.

I assume you're talking blu ray movies. Play them? probably, display them correctly? I mean the ones encoded at 25fps that aren't region lock, I don't think so but I've never tried them myself. For Region B locked Blu rays no unless the console is the pal version. Region Free I'm pretty sure means for games only, there is one game I know of that is an exception to this rule: Persona 4 Arena. In short no it will not play Pal encoded Blu Rays nor display them correctly.

Jason: Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

I only buy regions codes for my country, the USA. Any other regions will NOT play. That's why I always double check to see what code the DVD is in. I also do not buy many BluRay DVDs because the formats are sometimes annoyingly slow to function.

Region free is a code for Blu-rays and DVDs. Ranging from A/B/C/FREE for Blu-ray and 1/2/3/4/5/6/0 for DVD, this is the designated code for each region of the world. Region Free or Region 0 is a version that is not locked to any particular region and will typically play on any player worldwide. If you're looking for the biggest supplier for region free titles in the U.S you can check out http://scyllar.com/ they offering free shipping, no tax and have a huge selection of titles including region free imports.

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!

You can play any regular dvd / blue ray / 3d from different region with the same appliance. I'm italian and the european belong to a different region than american once. with this one I can play both region without any worry it's useful 'cause most american dvd have limited language option (english, spanish, french) european once also offer other languages like italian, german and more...

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.

Yeah I had the same problem. Although it appears that the blu ray disc player is immediately ready to reed any disc, there are a few steps to take in order to change each time the region your disc belongs to. First of all, press SETUP on your remote, then insert the 1369 code. Now press 1 to enable region A, 2 for region B, 3 for a region C disc... and finally press SETUP again. Enjoy your view!

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 accepts all Blu-Ray regions. You need to look in the user manual to switch the Blu-Ray Region manually. It switches automatically for DVDs. So yes it play region B but you need to switch it manually.

It's completely region free. I watch differant movies all the time and have no problem with them. The only thing is the plug. I'm constantly plugging it bak in because the slightest bump and it comes unplugged.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!

I've been searching through websites that sell electronics...I did see region free dvd players and region free blu rays but I guess you have to buy it through them. Ebay even has a lot.

According to the the downloaded manual it is not region free, see below: Region management information BD-Video This unit plays BD-Video marked with labels containing the region code A. DVD-Video This unit plays DVD-Video marked with labels containing the region number "1" or "ALL".

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.
