Well ya, Regular DVD's sure. but no HD DVD's. You could buy a HD DVD released anywhere in the world and play it on a US HD DVD player. Many Movies not released on HD DVD, but on Blu-Ray you could still get on HD DVD out of the country which was nice. I have Terminator 2 on HD DVD for example, Ultimate HD edition, which was never released in the US.Anyway DVD's continue to do so and so does Blu-Ray.

The Philips All Region Multi Region Code Free Zone Free Hi-Def 1080p that I received would not open to allow me to insert a DVD. Also, even if it did open, according to Philips, it would only play region 1 DVD's.

HD DVD has no region codes. Blu-ray has 3, and Australia is in Region B (Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand). See Wikipedia. DVD regions remain the same with both formats and because both are trying to curry favor with studios, there are no region-free high def players, and only HDMI outputs carry upconverted signals. For a quality upconverting region-free player consider Oppo.

If you buy any Sony blu-ray player in the U.S. it will be Region locked - for blu-ray Region A, and for DVD region 1. You can unlock the DVD to play DVD's from other regions, BUT it is pointless with a US player as Sony have NOT include a PAL decoder in any Sony blu-ray player for sale in the U.S. market. An easy way out of the problem, is to buy a region free DVD player (look on ebay) and be satisfied with region A locked blu-ray player - as you can still play blu-ray discs from Europe/UK, if the blu-ray discs themselves are Region Free, (eg. Zulu blu-ray, available amazon.co.uk UK! A lot of blu-ray discs are region free - just check before you buy, Google is your friend...

It says it's open for NTSC and PAL but subject to region codes. That should mean it's locked to the region it's purchased in/for.

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!

HD-DVD is region free, but as for DVD, the Toshiba HD DVD player from Amazon (HD-A3, HD-A30 and HD-A35) can play only Region 1 DVDs and Region Free DVDs. If you own a lot of DVDs which are non-Region 1, I recommend the Oppo DV-980H universal upconverting DVD player. This upconverting DVD player (up to 1080p) can be set to be Region Free (easily done in 4 easy steps which have been detailed in various Amazon Review of Oppo DVD Players by other owners). It can easily be set back to be Region 1 to play DVDs with RCE. It can also play DVD in PAL format and upconverts it to 720p or 1080p so that it will play with your HDTV. This is great when you own or buy a lot of DVDs from Asia and Europe. The Oppo player will not play HD-DVD, but it upconverts standard DVDs to 1080p almost as well as the Toshiba HD-A35. It is universal voltage so you can plug it to 220/240v when you are travelling outside the country. It also plays SACD, HDCD, as well as many video formats not supported by the Toshiba HD-A35.

I am not sure what region that is. I had to buy an extra European maps file for it to work in Europe.

I think you need the code if you don't purchase it from VCT Electronics. They are converting the DVD players to region-free and charging an extra $40 for the conversion.

Make sure you have the latest FW version - easily downloaded from the WEB via the built-in Ethernet Port that ALL HD DVD PLAYERS HAVE. Latest FW = 1.1/1.1 Read this for the A35 INFO http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=925599&highlight=A35+FIRMWARE Phil

I have the UA65F9000ARXZN which I purchased here in the U.A.E. I still went ahead and purchased the SEK-2500U/ZA from amazon and it worked like a charm. No issues none so ever. I believe these kits are region free.

I have doubt that the code can be remotely changed. You can only lock or unlock. Hope will help. Best bet would be try calling ADT tech support.

HD DVD players are region free only if you use HD DVD disks, since the HD DVD standart does not have region limitations. If you play standard DVD disks, it's still locked for one region.

Thanks for that.Questions:1 Are there any known bugs resulting from switching to "region-free"?2 Can it be flipped back to NTSC?
