This is right, but, I would like to add that I was confused for days because there was nowhere in preferences to type in the code---finally called a relative who said to just point the remote at the screen and type in and enter the code, and it worked. Also, I was misled by another post into thing that I had to have a DVD in the player to do this. In fact, the player must be empty. Then---it works.

I have a Philips 3960/37 and love it, because you can burn almost any video format to DVD and IT WILL PLAY IT! I have always over many years bought Philips DVD players because they ( the 3 i bought over the years starting in 2001 ) have always played almost any format DVD you put into it pirate or not. and every one i have bought you can easily Google and find the simple remote buttons to push to unlock the USA only region coding almost all DVD players have have. Yes they will play a PAL DVD's and it will work on a USA TV no problem. I have always bought Philips DVD plays because they are the best. Hope that helps you!

If region is an issue for your collection, you can check out hacks like this to make your player region free: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bd65/10861 (similar model)I have tried this hack with a couple of Panasonic DVD / BD players with success to make DVD into region free.But, for some reason, I couldn't hack with DMP-BD75.when the power to the unit is turned on, home screen appears. when pressing 1, 2, 3, ..9 the first press 1, it recognize as OK button or something. anyway, maybe this BD can not be hacked.

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.

Look for Philips players instead. Almost all their models can be set to multiregion with the remote (you'll need to find out the "secret" code for a particular model online) and play both NTSC & PAL. Pioneer plays PAL, but only region 0, this cannot be changed with the remote, only with expensive and risky modifications to the internal circuits.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!

Yes, I've tested the player and it does play region one and region two. I have not played any other regions (three or four).

Jason: Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

I purchased this unit for my Grand son (lives in another state), so I no longer have the instruction booklet. However, when I purchased this unit, it was advertised a a "Multi-Region - PAL/NTSC Format Player" - so it "should" play Region 2 disc's (I believe all of Europe uses the PAL format). I have never played any other format other than the US Region, so I do NOT have first hand knowledge.

An All Regions PAL DVD played in this. Two Region 2 PAL DVDs did not play - after insertion, the screen displayed a "Wrong Region" warning. Both of these Region 2 DVDs play in my Philips DVP3982 since I changed the region coding to 0 on the player.

You can get Philips pet824 which is an excellent model. Then you can make it region free by pressing a combination of buttons in the menu(google pet824 region free; you'll find it), and then it will play DVDs from every country, regardless if it is PAL or another region code.

It plays my DVDs from US and Europe. However, since I am using windows I still needed to set a region code for the drive. You need a software like AnyDVD to overcome the Reagion Code issue.

Yes, practically all regions once you set it up. My main need is for European and USA dvds. I travel on vacations and like to buy dvd with visuals of the country travelled in addition to my own photos. It works well for me with my Samsung Smart TV. The set up was done by a audio visual professional.
