We have a TON of Disney DVDs (sold in USA) and I'm worried about the format not being compatible with this system. Any compatibility issues?

We played all movies that were purchased from a store in the US and they worked fine. :) Anything from Disney to star wars, to comedy, etc. Never had any issues with it not reading them.

Works very well for me. I have tried mkv, avi, and mp4 with no problems at all. Only issue I have is if it is a blu-ray "backup" it will not play that. Any other "backup" from standard dvd's plays perfectly. I have been very pleased with the quality of this device in all aspects other than the blu-ray backups. Hope this helps.

Yes. I'd reccomend it. Had it for a few months now and it has been reliable - with DVDs of all regions. I was a bit concerned at it was so inexpensive but it has worked out well.

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

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly. These players are originally region one.

It is a little difficult to change the DVDs, but I have always been able to without a problem. I have not used an SD card yet for it, so I do not know about if it will play them or not.

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...

Yes, my brother records programmes in the UK and sends them to us. We've found the Phillips dvd players work great on all formats.

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.

Hi Rebecca -- I'm an owner, but not an expert. A quick Google search on "region 1 DVDs" took me to the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_codeIt looks like this Panasonic player will play Region 1 DVDs, assuming you purchased it in the USA, Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, or US Territories.I do not know if Panasonic (or anyone else) offers codes for playing other regions. Hope this helps!

I have had no issues with playing any Bly-Ray or DVDs from any region... (so far). It's a great unit! Just wish the cords were longer.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

I purchased this unit for my Grand son (lives in another state), so I no longer have the instruction booklet. However, when I purchased this unit, it was advertised a a "Multi-Region - PAL/NTSC Format Player" - so it "should" play Region 2 disc's (I believe all of Europe uses the PAL format). I have never played any other format other than the US Region, so I do NOT have first hand knowledge.

I've only been using the Rosewill in the US so that I don't have direct experience. Also, I'm using it on a Windows laptop. From what I understand from web searches, it is possible to use software to adjust to different regions. The regions are set up differently for Blu-ray discs compared to DVD's. It would take further searching to see whether this would complicate the use of the software. Nevertheless, it appears to be doable using software which is downloadable.

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

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