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.

If your movies come in DVD, yes, you can watch. You need a DVD player (software/application, there are some free version you can download from the internet), and the player should be all-region or the correct region in order to play with the DVD is a region restricted (most DVD player software is region free). Keep it short, hardwarely, yes it does.

They are right. Download to computer and burn disc , I 'm not real computer literate as I have a problem viewing the disc on my tv. Which I blame on not knowing how to the right software to burn a DVD. But anyway, I wanted to add that you could also email the video as an attachment to your prof,

Thank you very much, E. Soares - I appreciate the information you've provided, especially the link to the electronic copy of the player's manual. Although not the answer we would have liked to see, it's not at all a surprise, given the super-low price on this.If I may offer a little hint, I've had my eye on the Sherwood BDP-5004 - it's been verified by several reviewers on other Forums as being PAL/NTSC, Region-Free capable. It's the only Blu-Ray I've seen so far that has this important (to me, at least) capability. I play a lot of music DVDs that are from Europe, UK, Japan and Australia.It's about twice as expensive as this Sylvania, but the added abilities would be worth it.Thanks again!Leo Thank you very much, E.

Yes! That's its best feature. In fact, I just ordered another Region 2 DVD from the UK of a film not available in Region 1 in the U.S. I love it! Definitely worth getting if you don't want to be limited to what's available in this region.

Description indicates that the unit is region free and one answer to an earlier question indicated the responder played both region 1 and region 4 disks with no problems. I am currently waiting for seller to response to request for verification as to the unit being region free and will post when/if I get a response. I wanted to verify with seller as amazon site has confusing phrasing between a unit being region free (what you want) and units being NTSC/PAL compatible which would mean that the unit could be used with either a US or a UK television set ( US is NTSC and UK is PAL)

Thank you for posting your question. Unfortunately this cannot be shipped to Canada. The easiest way to check if the item can be shipped to your location would be to add it to your cart and then click the "proceed to checkout" button. An error message will appear if it is not able to be delivered to your destination. If you are able to proceed through the order process you will be shown shipping methods/speed/prices to chose from. Hope this helps

There is an after market hardware mod that will successfully make it region free. It is user installable externally; but would require a tech to install it permanently internally. I paid $29 for the hardware (it's a small circuit board), & it plugs in externally to 2 ports (1 USB port & if I remember right) also the e-sata port.It works perfectly on dvd, I haven't purchased any Blu-rays that aren't region A yet.

Hi people,I have a SONY BDP-S550 bought in the US; can that be set to REGION FREE DVD?Regards,George.

Thanks, Larry. For a month I've been teetering on the brink of getting the Oppo 980 or 981. The street price of, maybe $170 would be acceptable. I also have an A-35, with a backup A-30 in the closet in its box.I've been having a lot of fun ordering HD DVD's from Europe. When the supply of HD DVD's dries up, if I had an Oppo, the Region Code, and NTSC/PAL wouldn't matter and I could switch to import SD DVD's.Anything to mess with censorship and marketing plans.

I am also looking for a way to play foreign DVDs on my American tv. Let me share with you some of what I have learned. First of all, if you purchased your Vizio here in the states it is probably NTSC format. That poses a problem because foreign DVDs are mostly in PAL format. Please note that this is different from the region coding issue. I have a region-free DVD player that I cannot use because my tv is not PAL compatible. You must have a DVD player that is both multi-system (PAL and NTSC) and region-free (0,1,2,3,4,5,6). Make sure that whatever player you choose will also play RCE DVDs. These are the enhanced discs Hollywood uses to prevent people in other regions from playing them on anything other than standard American DVD players. In other words, bear in mind when selecting your DVD player that you must still have a way to make your NTSC tv display the PAL movies--simply buying a region-free player is not sufficient. Some websites offer DVD players with built-in PAL to NTSC converters. With one of these, all you need to do is choose the proper cable to connect the DVD player to your Vizio. If you choose a DVD player that does NOT convert, you must buy an external converter to connect the DVD player to your tv or buy a PAL compatible tv. I have decided to purchase a multi-system region-free DVD player with a built-in converter. It seems the simplest solution. Supposedly reputable websites seem to all offer warranties of a year or more on their products and have technical support available to you after purchase. I have not actually used any of these sites yet so I cannot recommend one from personal experience. I would suggest you browse the internet to see what's out there, then use the contact information given on any website that has a product that seems to suit your needs to call the company and ask questions. Hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Or, better yet, that you have already solved your problem and are happily watching your DVDs right now.

If you're looking for a multi-region dvd player. Search online for "multi-region dvd player codes" then look for that player. I think they are becoming more difficult to find. Also going back say ten years I remember the american market was accidentally flooded with them. A major company (I forget who) unloaded a large shipment in the USA with the multi-region open. Reason was there were only supposed to be a couple made that way for "trials" of dvd's. However something happened.

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.
