I have a PAL television (as I live in Europe), is this SONY BDP-S1100 multiregion player compatible for playback multiregion dvd's and bluray discs?

I agree with Donna's comments below, it can switch to different regions as many times as you want, it's also compatible with all video formats if your plugging in external hard drives.

Yes, it comes with instructions on how to switch to different regions. So far I've used it for USA, England and Australia. Works great.

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

the media format says NTSC and PAL so I assume yes but the manual says that the region code is printed on the bottom of the DVD player and will only play discs from that region. It says Region 1. -__-

This DVD player plays all regions. It gives you a crisp, clear perfect picture. I am very happy with it, I have this DVD on all three of my 55" LED TV's. Though it does play all regions, it will only play one at a time. Perhaps they sell multiple DVD players, I'm sure Amazon will let you know. Debra

Panasonic DMP-BD91 was designated to play BD-A and DVD-1 and will not play PAL There is however hardware modified version of this player sold by world-import.com at much higher price. This information is not intended as a solicitation of world-import.com products but only to provide Amazon customer answer to question pertaining region free and other format DVD media playability of this unit.

As far I Know, both player models do play PAL discs since they convert it into NTSC --- you just need a NTSC TV set, a ubiquitous feature in any US television.

Tv isn't the issue as all you need to do is hook up bd player to any tv around the world with hdmi. This player can play dvds and be discs from any region. I've tried discs from Japan, Europe, and U.S.

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

Almost every Blu-ray or DVD player from Sony will only play discs for the region it is sold. Only a modified Sony player will play multiple regions , which will of course void its warranty.

Actually, the stock Oppo BDP-95 and BDP-93 both contain NTSC/PAL conversion built-in, so you can watch either format disc at any time. The difference here is that you can play all regions of Blurays and DVD's on the player, at least if it does what is advertised. That's an aftermarket conversion - but one that should cost $100.00 or so, not nearly $300.00... You can find the all region BDP-95 for less money elsewhere, and the stock BDP-95 for $999.00 most anywhere, including direct from Oppo.

Burketop, I'd like to know where you found that Samsung players play PAL? Because I have a BDr-D25052 which play all types of DVD & BluRay but NOT PAL and a chat with Samsung support advised ALL their players SOLD IN THE USA are REGION A and will NOT play PAL. So far not much luck trying to unlock it and make it region free. Thanks for any guidance!

This is what u need to know. Last sentence is most important. PAL/NTSC Conversion - The BDP-93 supports NTSC and PAL systems for both disc playback and video output. It can also convert content of one system for output in another. (Subject to DVD and BD region restrictions.)

I'm not really sure because I only live in the one region of the United States. I do however have a couple discs from the UK and it seems to play them without a problem.

My suggestion would be to buy a Sherwood BDP-5004 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) which is a Momitsu 899 under the skin, and which, with a remote code, can be switched from BD A to BD B and to all regions of DVD, or any one region of DVD. Yes, the Brit BD player would be a problem because SD elements on a Region B BD are often SD PAL. Also some BDs are 1080i/50 Hz ("Super PAL") rather than the US 1080i/60 Hz. The Sherwood/Momitsu can be set for NTSC output through the HDMI cable and will play ANY European BD of any type. All for cheap. Buy two!

Mine plays any type DVD I've put in it. I didn't have to change any thing. Perhaps you screwed something up by changing to PAL. Did it come with instructions? I'd advise reading them. I had no problem, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and it's been working ever since. I've played region 2, 3 and others without having to change any settings or do anything.
