I would assume yes. I have this DVD and it plays fine on both of my DVD players at home.

xavier, I bought this DVD player because I saw it described on another site as being able to play all regions' DVDs. I was disappointed when I tried to watch a DVD from Japan, only to get the "incompatible disc region message". I called Pioneer for clarification and they said it is illegal for U.S. manufacturers to build DVD players that can play any region other than Region 1 (USA). So unfortunately, you will not find one built in this country (legally) that will be compatible with anything else. Additionally, I had the idea to just buy a Japanese DVD player, but after checking Amazon Japan, I think they said it's illegal for them to export DVD players to foreign countries. As far as "unlocking" regions, that would require installing a pirate chip, again illegally, and I don't even know if such a thing exists for this model of DVD player. So I guess I have to become a criminal if I want to watch DVDs unavailable in this country. Good to know our government is protecting us so thoroughly.

I'm assuming that you can. I usually just play them on our DVD player. Hope this helps.

Hi Gaius, no, you don't. Regular DVD Players can play converted DVD videos. -Vincent

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

At the same time, if you use your computer you can make a DIVX movie from your DVD then play that in this player. The region encoding affects the playing of the original DVD, but might not interfere when copying it with aftermarket software into DIVX. (or into region free DVD, for that matter)

No, It will not allow you watch DVDs purchsed outside US! But there must be a way to change the region setting!

This unit claims to play all regions. I personally have played American and Chinese DVD's and BluRay's; therefore I am sure it will play UK too. It is a very fine machine that I highly recommend.

The dvds are in the USA region. I'm not sure if the dvds will play in other regions. Sorry I couldn't help you more!

I believe so, I haven't tried it myself, but friends who have this item have played their cd's on it. They say it works fine, but it is best for the dvds any region, I love it.debra

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.

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

I'm pretty sure it cannot. I'm not 100% sure, but to the best of my knowledge, "all region" DVD players are quite expensive.

as long as ur using region 1 disc you should be fine. You might call clearplay to make sure

No, to my knowledge the player is not region free nor can it be modified to enable it to play other region DVDS Amazon sells a Yamaha multi region capable player that I have which is excellent but it is not a portable DVDS player.

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
