PAL is European , right? The European DVDs will play, but NOT the blurays. It only plays blurays from the USA.

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.)

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.

I have an LG BD670 and a Toshiba BDX2250KU and both play region 0 PAL format dvds

No, it's not a BluRay player, but it is 'multi-region'. Search Amazon for BluRay players if that's what you need.

The only All Region I have is a PAL and it plays fine through the Apple's default DVD Player. It plays Blu-ray disc just fine. I have to use vlc player app for the Blu-Ray since I have an Apple system.

Thanks very much, the hack worked perfectly and now my PAL DVDs play fine. It even seems to keep the info in memory after the unit is unplugged for awhile.

Dear S Mitra, my unit (BDX1400) will NOT play european (PAL) DVDs. It ejects them with the message "Wrong Region"Am I doing something wrong? How do you make it work?

Hi. I don't know what PAL is? The DVD/VCR Combo that I purchased does play both DVD and VCR formats. However, the unit will not allow me to advance on the DVD format. Very disappointing.

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?

You need to have dvd or bluray player software mine works great. Burns blueray and dvds fine also as long as you specify the speed and not use autodetect

My LG BD390 can play PAL discs. I don't know what the region encoding is, since it just says "PAL regions" (whatever that means). However, I did get it from the UK. So it must be a Region 1 PAL disc, which is weird. Looking around AVForums confirmed that the BD390 passed their compatibility test (though the picture is not as good as NTSC).Digital Fred- just do a search on 'region free DVD (or Blu-ray) players'.

Yes. As long as the bluray player has a output resolution supported by the conversion box.

to try and offer some advice: i just upgraded from the BDP83 to the BDP93, i have only watched 1 Blu on the new one (BDP93) but was amazed at the pic quality i had the BDP83 for almost a year before upgrading and the only issue i had was watching LOTR extended versions on DVD and would see a 'hiccup" every so often - i believe this was where they added the extended footage in - otherwise i NEVER had a single issue with my player with an Oppo or PS3 OR whatever bluray player you have or decide to buy i always make sure the firmware is updated to resolve any 'issues" you may have best of luck to you

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.

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!
