What do you mean by region? Dvd goes in the area under the flat portion under screen.

Yes, you can connect & see DVDs from different regions if your Player is multi- system. For me, I get DVDs even from over seas & played with no problem except few DVD. My other suggestion is, you can directly insert the DVDS & play. The time you posted this question, I tried to connect with two players. One in A/V & the other with HDMI & both works fine. Hope it helps.

Strange, everywhere I've read states that Toshiba players are region free. I think the thing is with some euro discs is that they require you to use HDMI or they get downscaled to 480p. That's the only problem I've read about yet and it's only on some of them. Maybe that was the case and the T.V. was trying to do 1080i/p and wasn't prepared for it so it didn't allow a picture. Are you using component or HDMI?

All DVD's are coded by the manufacture prior to sale for one of several regions. Region 1 is NORTH AMERICA, region 2 is WESTERN EUROPE as examples this has to do with agreements made with various artists organizations to protect their financial interests. Most DVD players are made for one region only. This unit has software in it to bypass this protection for DVD's only, so you should be able to play DVD from anywhere. HOWEVER, when playing Blue ray disks it is region A only. Meaning only Blue Ray disks made for NORTH AMERICA can be played.

I have both region 1 and 2 dvd's and they play ok. Just make sure that when you receive the box there is a 'region free' sticker on the outside.

It plays dvds from my region. I.e. usually US DVD player won't play DVD bought in Europe. This machine goes to the root drive in the dvd and so pays dvd bought anywhere. It works for me as I what to play my Europe bought dvds (region 2) on a US powered DVD player (region 1). This dvd player doesn't discriminate where the DVD is from.

I do not know. In case others might, here's what that means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

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?

Blu-Ray drives ARE NOT set up for regions by the manufacturer in their firmware. Typically Blu-Ray like DVD are controlled by the Region in the software ie. windows or the program that you are using to play the Blu-ray disc. You can also find firmware to burn to the drive to defeat the region control. Read this..............Go to the webpage below: http://www.miraizon.com/support/info_regioncoding.html I don't know what region you are in but I would not worry about this feature as it is easily circumvented. Just google search "Blu-ray region control" or something similar & you will see for yourself. Hope this helps Gene

You should change the player region.To do that just follow the steps:1. Press SETUP2. Enter Code 13693. You will then see a menu where you can view the DVD region code and Blu Ray Region code.4. The DVD code is already set to 0, which means it will play ANY Region DVDs with no further changes.5. For Blu Ray. press 1 for region A, Press 2 for Region B and press 4 for Region C.6. Press SETUP so the settings will save. you can change them as you wish.7. You are done. Enjoy your DVD Player!

Simple answer: Yes. BluRay disk fall into 4 geographic regions identified as A,B,C, and D. The US is region A and Europe is region B. It also plays all 8 DVD regions.

My unit plays all region DVDs. IT will play some Region 2 Blu-ray, but not other Region 2 Blu-ray. Anybody know why? Examples: it will play The Wicker Man region 2 Blu-ray, but not The Shout Region 2 Blu-ray. Please advise.

I am not sure on the formats. It should say in the details section. It recognizes regular DVDs in the US but not sure of how global...
