I just saw how to play various regions on this unit on www,videohelp.com. Here are the instructions: This hack was successfully applied to the Philips DVP5960/37. It is the same hack as with the Philips DVP5140: 1. Turn on the unit 2. Open the loading tray 3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote 4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key 5. Enter 138931 6. You will now see the current region code displayed 7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions 8. Press the "Setup" button on the remote 9. Press "OK" on the remote

No I don't think it will work. Australia is not DVD REGION 1. Clear Play uses an identifier on the disk to search for the filters. Region 1 DVDs will differ from Region 2 (Australia, Mexico, So America) My experience shows that copies of discs won't load the filters either. Call Clear Play to be sure. I highly recommend this player & filters. It is easy to use and very granular on what you can filter out.

Yes, it does, easily. Mine came today and I used this hack:1.Switch on the DVD player without a DVD2.Open the disc cover and keep open. The screen should say "OPEN"3.Digit 1379 on the remote control. Do this step quickly so all four asterisks appear in a row right under the word "OPEN". There should be four. If you go too slowly, some will disappear and then you have to shut the machine off and restart.4.Once the **** disappears, type "0" for all region.5.The system will show you a message about region free dvd.6.Enjoy!

So far I have used Region 1 and 2 discs. No problems. It is a really great player. Very sharp pictures.

Amazon's site has a bit of confusion on this issue - many of the players will indicate NTSC/PAL compatible but what this means is that the dvd player has the ability to be connected to either a US or UK television not necessarily does this mean it will play a region 2 disk. If you want multi region player in order to play either region 1 dvds or region 2 dvds then I would recommend going with one that specifically indicates "region free" or "plays region 1,2,3,4,5....."

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

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.

It definitely plays Region 2 also, but isn't a 'smart' DVD player to channel Instant videos and Netflix. Our TV does that but we also use a Roku for those services.

This unit claims to play all regions. I personally have played American and Chinese DVD's and BluRay's; therefore I am sure it will play UK too. It is a very fine machine that I highly recommend.

Hi there - short answer is yes - just hook it up and it'll play any DVD - I play discs from both UK and US on my US TV and they work fine

Yes but this version is not region-free - beware!! You need to get the older version. Just purchased this and it does not work with UK DVDs - says "Wrong Region Code"

Hi Justin, I did not get to play my region 2 dvd's from the UK on it. I played region 4 , Australia, and USA regions and it was fine for those. If yours isn't playing region 2, or any region for that matter, I would call Samsung and find out why due to it being a multi region player. There # is 1800-726-7864. Hope your able to get better help that I did. Cheers Lesley.

I'm not really sure because I only live in the one region of the United States. I do however have a couple discs from the UK and it seems to play them without a problem.
