It says it's open for NTSC and PAL but subject to region codes. That should mean it's locked to the region it's purchased in/for.

I own the same player but I bought in Australia. It works fine with Blue-ray Region B and with some Region A discs (I'm not sure why?), but this is not a region free player.

The Sony will play European Blu-ray discs, provided they are region free- a lot are. To see if a European Blu-ray disc is region B locked or region free, there are sites that test Blu-ray discs to see what there coding is. It is not possible to make the Sony Blu-ray player region free for Blu-ray, just by changing codec or software.

All regions are automatic for DVD. They must be switched manually for blu. Mine did not come with instructions or the code to switch it. I found it after some searching on line. I also posted the new code in the reviews. Hope this helps.

Do not update your software it will over write the multi-region software and return it back to factory defaults of the North America or USA only region for both DVD and Blue Ray.

I don't know. I have only used Region 1. I believe the software handles this, like regular DVD's.

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!

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. "

Hi Jorge,HD DVD is region free (unlike Blu-Ray which may be region restricted).But for standard DVDs, the HD-A35 from Amazon will play only Region 1 DVDs and Region Free DVDs. The HD-A35 will not play DVDs with other Region settings, e.g., Region 2, 3, 4, etc.

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

The region will be A i.e 1 - but the DVD region will be universal, which means you will be able to play blue ray graded with "A" i.e 1 but all DVD's will work in the is unit.

Yes the DVD player is region free, is has an HDMI port. You can stop the DVD or remove it completely and the player will start right back where you left off. It is a really nice DVD player. I hope this helps, sorry it took me so long to answer.
