What Region are these dvds formatted to play in - Region 1, USA - or -? Will they work in a UK dvd player?

I think North America only but you could email them and they would let you know.

They are formatted for the US. Sorry, they should not work in a UK DVD player.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

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)

I only buy regions codes for my country, the USA. Any other regions will NOT play. That's why I always double check to see what code the DVD is in. I also do not buy many BluRay DVDs because the formats are sometimes annoyingly slow to function.

Unfortunately this won't work with foreign DVDs - it will only play region 1 (USA) discs. I just saw some region-free players available here on Amazon. Consider those as they will play foreign discs. As for CDs, any DVD player will play them, even if you burned them yourself (the only ones that won't play burned CDs are really old players - all newer ones will without issues). Hope this helps - good luck with your selection!

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

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....."

the media format says NTSC and PAL so I assume yes but the manual says that the region code is printed on the bottom of the DVD player and will only play discs from that region. It says Region 1. -__-

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

The -R format is an older format "pre-2003" or so. I purchased the discs 6 months ago and they have worked with our -R format devices. I'm not an expert but as far as I know - yes these work with -R DVD devices.

Not sure to be honest. I have only played 1 US DVD (from library) but all our DVDs from the UK worked perfectly. Sorry I can't be more help. Might find out after renting more DVDs in the US.

I have some European dvds. I need to know whether this product will play them. (European dvds are in a different format from American dvds.)

Otto, The answer is yes for most but not all. go this site to check if your player is listed. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks I think region 0 is the setting for all regions. Good luck. EdCherif

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly.

No, this unit is not a region free unit and it will only play region 1 DVDs.

PAL is European , right? The European DVDs will play, but NOT the blurays. It only plays blurays from the USA.
