All the material I received with this Piloxing System was in English. All DVD's are spoken in English as well.

Probably not. This is a region 1 (North America) player. You can use a region-free player. Also, most computer DVD players are region-free, so you can try that.

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.

Hmm. Good question. I play DVDs directly in my computer. But if you want to hook up the Toshiba multi-region to your PC and are playing another region DVD in in it, I wonder if the PC will reject that other-region DVD?

No. HD DVD players are Region-free ONLY for HD DVD. Not for DVDs.The HD DVD format IS region-free. Meaning that all HD DVD discs can be played regardless of where they come from.The DVD format STILL has region codes. This player (if bought in America) will only play R1 discs.

dragger, Samsung Blu-Ray players sold in the United States will support DVD Region 1/Open/All. They will also support Blu-Ray "Region A". The limits are placed by the copyright owner, based on the number of regions that copyright holder wishes the content to be played in. If the copyright owner wants DVD Regions 1, 2 and 5 to be allowed, but not 3, 4 or others, they can add that limitation - let's refer to them as "flags" - onto the disc. The player will check for the "right flags", and if the correct region is allowed, the player will play the content. If the wrong flag says, "no, you can't show this content in this region", the player will reject the content. DVDs may use one code (a single region), a combination of codes (multi-region), every code (which includes all regions) or no codes (region free). Does that help explain how region codes manage content? If not, let us know and we'll be happy to explain. --Mr. S

You have to set a region first (which I don't want to do) because the drive comes region-free (with firmware level RPC-2). As is, I have tried playing a Region 2 DVD from Japan using MPC HC, VLC and Power DVD 10 and only MPC was able to open the disk but the image was heavily pixelized and it eventually crashed.

Hi, Because this is a disc drive, and not a standalone player, it all depends on your software, I believe. If you have the right software to play multi-region discs, you should be able to pop in your disc and the drive should be able to read it and play it on screen. And, of course, Amazon has a wonderful return policy so you're not left with something that doesn't work for you.

Some "evil scientist", divided the world in regions to watch DVD's, I believe there are 7 regions, each one not compatible with the others,... Nice uh?... USA, Canada and Japan are # 1, Europe is # 2, and so on, check google and it will tell you. However there are players such earlier Philips models ( Divx capable ) that by entering a code with your remote, will convert your player to region 0, which is general, and plays everything. Why do it this way, it baffles me, evil, pure evil... Every movie you rent in the USA is supposed to be region # 1. Unless you are part of elite renters that ask for titles not available in the USA, or buy outside our country over the internet, in that case make sure your player can handle all regions... One word of caution, if you use your computer, in my case, Windows XP, home version, you can change your region to another and be able to play two regions but... the big but,,, it can be done only once, lets say you change the original #1 to #2, and then change to #3, you will be able to play 2 & 3, but 1 will not play and is not reversible ! Hope I helped you. Peter

Thanks for your reply. I had equated NTSC or PAL with the region. So, if I want to play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, regardless of what region these discs are, I would need a player that can be set to region 0 = region free?

All DVD's are coded by the manufacture prior to sale for one of several regions. Region 1 is NORTH AMERICA, region 2 is WESTERN EUROPE as examples this has to do with agreements made with various artists organizations to protect their financial interests. Most DVD players are made for one region only. This unit has software in it to bypass this protection for DVD's only, so you should be able to play DVD from anywhere. HOWEVER, when playing Blue ray disks it is region A only. Meaning only Blue Ray disks made for NORTH AMERICA can be played.

I didn't have to unlock anything and I live in America but have English DVD's from when I lived in England. Not knowing what 'region' you are in, it is difficult to answer fully, but, as far as I'm aware, it will play any DVD.

As far as i know you can use downloadable programs and software such as vlc media player which allows you to play a dvd regardless of the region.p.s Im not a computer wiz when it comes to dvds but im sure with a few minutes of research you can come up with your answer.VLC Media Player-( http://www.downloadster.org/lp/vlc-player/354/?_u=8lgn9qing2ajg83bhfvbh70bappahscpb17bum2a2ko2lp9rs331-28238245d0382006e38babdfc4b8d8f6 )

No it cannot; however, several years ago I found instructions on "programming" the DVD player to accept and play "all" types of DVD's. I've purchased a couple DVD's that are not available ("Intruders" being one of those & "Girl with the Golden Earring") in America and they play just fine. I didn't keep the instructions, BUT, if you search in the Movies/DVD's categories, you'll probably find them where certain DVD's are listed. Sorry that's the best I can do with information regarding this. You'll find that reprogramming the settings to accept all Region DVD's is fairly easy.
