Can it be configured to play Region 2 (Japan) DVD's?

As far as I can see the drive is normal laptop type drive in an external case. The setting appear to allow for a region code set.

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

All I know, I can play DVD from both US and Indonesia. I tried with some other US DVD player and I cannot play any Indonesia DVD (somebody told me, most of US DVD Player can only read NTSC, while mine most likely is PAL) So I just drew conclusion, it should be compatible with any type of DVD

It should. I bought this because it plays multi-regional DVDs. I don't know where my 'foreign' DVDs came from. They do play fine. You could call Orei. I think they're in Brooklyn, NY.

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.

As far as I know this DVD player plays all regions. I now use this player to play all my DVD'sboth USA and UK.

No it cannot; however, several years ago I found instructions on "programming" the DVD player to accept and play "all" types of DVD's. I've purchased a couple DVD's that are not available ("Intruders" being one of those & "Girl with the Golden Earring") in America and they play just fine. I didn't keep the instructions, BUT, if you search in the Movies/DVD's categories, you'll probably find them where certain DVD's are listed. Sorry that's the best I can do with information regarding this. You'll find that reprogramming the settings to accept all Region DVD's is fairly easy.

answer unknown. My son has the player and uses DVD-r if that helps any. What are region 1 and region 2 dvd's?

Hi. I'm not sure? I live in The U.S.. I'm sure if you have a region 1 compatible dvd player it might work. Hope that helps.

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

Your player came with a paper with a code sequence to set it to region 2. If you can't find it message me again and I will help you.

My region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.

It's for all regions. I bought it so I could play dvds from Europe, which I believe are Region 2.

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 have purchased two of these and they both played Region 2 right out of the box

I'm not sure, but I've older versions of LG players that have been able to play PAL formatted DVD's. Meaning DVD's from the U.K.

As far as I know, you can make it all-region for DVD's ONLY. For blu-ray discs, you can't do anything.
