Does this play Region 2 DVDs?

To my knowledge, this is a Region 1 player only-AND barely that. The price is right but OMG- it is the SLOWEST STARTING and most unresponsive of any DVD player I have seen in my whole life. It does not play Region 2 encoded DVDs, which is for: UK, Europe, Middle East, Egypt, Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Greenland, French Overseas departments and territories.

No it cannot; however, several years ago I found instructions on "programming" the DVD player to accept and play "all" types of DVD's. I've purchased a couple DVD's that are not available ("Intruders" being one of those & "Girl with the Golden Earring") in America and they play just fine. I didn't keep the instructions, BUT, if you search in the Movies/DVD's categories, you'll probably find them where certain DVD's are listed. Sorry that's the best I can do with information regarding this. You'll find that reprogramming the settings to accept all Region DVD's is fairly easy.

As far as I know this DVD player plays all regions. I now use this player to play all my DVD'sboth USA and UK.

No, this is made to be used in the US. It has a standard US cord and works in the US outlets. It plays all the different region DVDs, including region 1 (US and Canada).

It should. I bought this because it plays multi-regional DVDs. I don't know where my 'foreign' DVDs came from. They do play fine. You could call Orei. I think they're in Brooklyn, NY.

I don't understand what you mean by "region free". This is just a portable DVD player that can be used to play DVDs. I use it in my home and it works well.

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.

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

Just tried it with a Region 2 DVD. It will play it, but the output on mine is set to be NTSC and my television will not read the PAL signal. I could hear the music that play on the menu, but there was no picture and an error message informing me the signal was incorrect appeared. This does not automatically convert the signal to NTSC. You would be better off buying a dedicated region free player for playback and use this for the HDD.

No I don't think it will work. Australia is not DVD REGION 1. Clear Play uses an identifier on the disk to search for the filters. Region 1 DVDs will differ from Region 2 (Australia, Mexico, So America) My experience shows that copies of discs won't load the filters either. Call Clear Play to be sure. I highly recommend this player & filters. It is easy to use and very granular on what you can filter out.

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.)
