I know that my Pioneer DV-610 AV-K will play Australian dvds. I love the comedy tv series The Games, it makes me laugh till I'm in pain. The owner's manual for the 610 says that it will work on 240 volt 50 hertz electricity, which is what WikiAnswers says comes out of the wall in Australia (give or take a few volts, which isn't important). So my guess would be yes, all you need would be an adapter plug or power cord that plugs into your wall socket. Do you own a fire extinguisher? Just kidding. Mostly. But you want more than a guess. Go to 220-Electronics or World-Import (both dot com) for their email address(es). Either store will know for sure. Good luck.

Peter, can you share names / websites of these independent sellers of blu-ray disc players? I'd like a blu-ray disc player that plays PAL and NTSC blu-ray and DVD discs from all regions (if such players are available). Thank you.

Unfortunately this won't work with foreign DVDs - it will only play region 1 (USA) discs. I just saw some region-free players available here on Amazon. Consider those as they will play foreign discs. As for CDs, any DVD player will play them, even if you burned them yourself (the only ones that won't play burned CDs are really old players - all newer ones will without issues). Hope this helps - good luck with your selection!

Wendy, you can play movie audio AND CDs with this player (properly set up you can also play movies from other parts of the world - most US DVD players are Region 1 (North America) only - with this you can use movies from ALL REGIONS, except Russia and affiliates - setup should be in one of my other posts, if you're interested.)

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.

You probably won't like this answer. I could only get the player to work on one or two DVDs. I did lots of googling to try to find a fix. Nothing worked. I ended up just trashing it, since it was so cheap. Lesson learned. Find a used one at Goodwill or pay more for a decent unit. You gets what ya pay for.

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 was told by Samsung that it would play region free blu Ray discs but it will not play discs that are region b. I think it was misleading. To be honest there are no region free blu ray players out there I have tried them all. Hopefully this answers your question.

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.

Yes! We only use ours to play DVDs from Europe - it should work just fine :)

We bought the player for viewing movies from all regions/codes. Although I have Apple products & WiFi in my home, I have never tried using the player with them..........Sorry I could mot help you. The DVD player is great for viewing movies from other countries, which are non-USA format

YES! This works as good as advertised. Philips DVD players are the best when it comes to region-unlocking.It was the first thing I did to mine when I bought it.

New Zealand uses PAL, North America uses NTSC, so it isn't a given. Many DVD players in PAL countries will accept NTSC and output PAL to the tv though

Mine will play most dvd's. I've noticed that it will not play foreign made dvd's regardless of whether they are region 1 or region 0.

I wish I could tell you 100% yes. It says it is all region free and will play any dvd from any country or region so I imagination it would. I know this answer it's that helpful but so far mine has never given me a problem with any region I've tried. I hope this helps.

Sorry Twila, it won't. You need to have a region FREE dvd player and this is only for the US. Oh, by the way, stay clear from Amazon on this one, unless you do not mind buying used-reconditioned items that they say is NEW.
