Hi Kate, I'm in NZ too, and I found a way to unlock the dvd players via a quick online search so they can play all regions dvds. "PD9016 region hack. Switch on the unit and wait for the main blue screen to appear (do not have a dvd inserted it will only work without a dvd in the machine. On the blue screen push the up/down buttons on the front of the unit below the screen in the following sequence: up, down, up, down, up, up, down. A preferences menu will appear which then allows you to change the region code 0-6 again using the up/down buttons. Works fine. "

Yes, it comes with instructions on how to switch to different regions. So far I've used it for USA, England and Australia. Works great.

As long as you can get at least 100 Kbs bandwidth from the device in the USA to Australia should work. It will not work with PAL television signal that are used in Europe and Australia, so it must be used only with NTSC signals. (US JAPAN CANADA MEXICO and others see https://secure.equinox.uk.com/ntsc.htm for a full list)Hope this helps

My unit was NTSC-specific. Perhaps Sony makes a region-specific unit you could use.

It can play all regions with a pass code, that is easy as pie to get, and use only once. Be aware, even though this player can play PAL discs it does not do PAL 2:2 cadence, so you will see a poorer picture quality if upconverting(just like crap 3:2 pulldowns on NTSC, jaggies) If you are dgital and needs this feature you need one of the OPPO's with the Fajouda video chips...the 981, or 971. Hope that helpsStill great player :)

The box States it has a vast regional service area from most places in the us.So I'm guessing it cannot be used outside the us.

Yes it will play all regions, but you have to select which region when you set it up. You are allowed to change regions up to five times only, then it will be fixed to the last selection.

Hi, I only used equipment from Europe and didn't try the option. I'm sure it'll work good. I didn't have any problem so far.

As I live and work in the US, my unit is for North America, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and does not have Spain or any other countries installed.I am sure you can download what you need, but contact TOM-TOM b4 you purchase a unit

Yes, it will work in New Zealand ... however you will need an adapter to plug it in as it has a US style three-prong grounded power plug. The outlets in NZ have a different configuration. BoxWave US/ EU to AU/NZ Plug Adapter - Plug outlet adapter from America or Europe to Australia and New Zealand is an inexpensive adapter that will work, although you lose the ground. VCT VP 103- Universal plug Adapter for Australia/New Zealand/ China/ ArgentinaTravel This adapter will be safer.

No it is not. Not even Canada and US versions are the same. Like some of the other brands, the software can be unlocked (hacked), to allow the region to be changed from the remote. There are websites that have directions on how.

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.

Thanks for that.Questions:1 Are there any known bugs resulting from switching to "region-free"?2 Can it be flipped back to NTSC?

Nope, it's unlocked which means you can use it in any region. I've purchased it in the US and brought it to Brazil. Works perfectly as long you have a compatible GSM carrier. Note it's not 4G, only 3G+ compatible.

I checked the manual'a guide and I didn't see anything regarding DVD regional coding. However, most electronics/ DVD players (including ASUS) are set usually to 1 (USA and Canada) region and CAN be changed but mind you only a limited amount of times (up to 4 times I believe).
