Region Free: Anyone know of a code or procedure to allow multiregion DVD playback on the BD670?

LG insists it doesn't, and basically accused me of being a criminal for asking. I'm assuming that like me, you bought this unit in part because of the product listing. I'm doing some research and will post whatever I find.

Hi Kate, I'm in NZ too, and I found a way to unlock the dvd players via a quick online search so they can play all regions dvds. "PD9016 region hack. Switch on the unit and wait for the main blue screen to appear (do not have a dvd inserted it will only work without a dvd in the machine. On the blue screen push the up/down buttons on the front of the unit below the screen in the following sequence: up, down, up, down, up, up, down. A preferences menu will appear which then allows you to change the region code 0-6 again using the up/down buttons. Works fine. "

Sorry, I am not sure about the region B DVDs. I use it for region A Blu Ray and for all region standard DVDs.

As I understand it if you are in the U.S. and update this products firmware you will not be able to play other regions dvd's

I do not have the drive with me, but I believe that. Windows allows you to set the region on all DVD drives up to 5 times

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

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

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!

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

bluraychip.dk says that DVD and BR will be regionfree, but what´s up with region coded CD / SACD ? will they be playable also? thanks for information... ;-)

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.

I didn't have to unlock anything and I live in America but have English DVD's from when I lived in England. Not knowing what 'region' you are in, it is difficult to answer fully, but, as far as I'm aware, it will play any DVD.

If region is an issue for your collection, you can check out hacks like this to make your player region free: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bd65/10861 (similar model)I have tried this hack with a couple of Panasonic DVD / BD players with success to make DVD into region free.But, for some reason, I couldn't hack with DMP-BD75.when the power to the unit is turned on, home screen appears. when pressing 1, 2, 3, ..9 the first press 1, it recognize as OK button or something. anyway, maybe this BD can not be hacked.

as with any other drive, you have the option to change the region. However you have a limited lifetime numbers of changes (4). Thus, once you change it, you can't just go back and forth. There is some software to circumvent this issue (slysoft anydvd and others) and play any region DVD. see more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DVD_drives

I think the question is whether or not is is multi-region not multi zone. The answer is no it is not intended to be but as someone answered it may be possible via a backdoor. I have some DVD players that have hidden functions to turn off copyright protections as well...not advertised of course but there never the less.

"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.)
