-Blu-Ray Zones A + B/C / DVD Regions 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 // DVD Regions are set to automatic / Switching Blu Ray Zones are done with the Remote Control. The unit must be in the power mode/normal stand by ........NOT QUICK START --- QUICK START MUST BE OFF *Turn Off the player by pressing power button on the remote, wait 5 seconds until it is OFF ....the *On the Remote Press button 1 for Blu Ray Zone A and Region 123456 DVD PAL/NTSC , or * On the Remote Press button 2 for Blu Ray Zone B and Region 123456 DVD PAL/NTSC, or On the Remote Press button 3 for Blu Ray Zone c and Region 123456 DVD PAL/NTSC *Turn the play ON and insert your DVD/BD // These instruction are on the separate sheet that came with unit and not in the Operating Instructions booklet. Again the key is that Zones can only be changed while the Quick Start Mode is off. The process is a little clunky, but it does work. I bought my unit so that I could watch the David Lynch collection I have. With the internet I am always finding programs I want to watch that are only available in Zone B.

Turn OFF the unit and leave it plugged in to the wall outlet to be in Standby mode.

Yes without pressing the power button just press 1 for region A press 2 for region B or press 3 for region C and it shall just turn on on its own just by pressing any of those 3 numbers

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'm not sure if the codes are region locked. I would contact amazon support.

As I understand it if you are in the U.S. and update this products firmware you will not be able to play other regions dvd's

Windows should recognize the drive. Contact manufacturer. You might have a faulty drive or your blu-ray software might not be compatible.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I'd ordered a few Blu-Rays from Target, Amazon, etc. and none of them work. They're Region 1, and I set Blu-Ray to Region 1 on my laptop. Any advice from others would be welcome as I bought this laptop partially for the Blu-Ray. I wanna watch James Bond Blue-Rays!! WAAAAHHH!!!! :-(

Dear S Mitra, my unit (BDX1400) will NOT play european (PAL) DVDs. It ejects them with the message "Wrong Region"Am I doing something wrong? How do you make it work?

I have also had that problem but with only one Blu-ray set. An error message pops up saying that the disc can be played only on Region 2 players only. I can only suppose that this set was produced in such a way that it would not work on multi-region players. It is the only disc I have that does this. I have loads of Blu rays from the UK and these and all others from everywhere else play just fine.

I just got this player today but the hack for making it region free didn't work.When I press 1379 it doesn't show any asterisk, just shows a hand sign and doesn't work.Any ideas ?

That's what I tried to do. Apparently it depends on the blu-Ray player whether it works or not. I would check with the manufacturer. I have a Sony player.

You have to go into the menu and change the zone to 'B'. It is not like the DVD regions where it is automatic. It has to be done manually then you have to change it back to our region to play zone 'A'. The player came with a piece of paper that shows you how to do it. Like most people you may have just ignored it. Hope this answers your question.

1. Turn on the blu-ray player without a disc.2. Press home on the remote control. 3. Press 8, 5, 2, 0 on the remote. 4. The factory page will appear on the screen with DVD region code and blu-ray region code options. 5. Highlight BD region code to specifify your blu-ray region: a. Zone A: Press 1 on the remote control.b. Zone B: Press 2 on the remote control. c. Zone C: Press 3 on the remote control.6. Press Home button to exit out. Enjoy!

It's my understanding that the disks burned by this item are region free. I have never had any problem with them being played on any blu ray player.
