Does this player playback all regions? If so, will it play back all regions if there is a firmware update?

The one I bought worked as claimed for about a month then the "fix" that a third-party did to the original Pioneer product failed. I had no recourse with Pioneer as they did not manufacture the machine to be multi-region but eventually did get my $ back from Amazon. I recently have been told that Oppo makes an excellent product for which a "kit" can be purchased (one that simply plugs into a USB port in the back of the Oppo) to make it truly multi-regional and highly reliable.

I believe it is a multi region player but as it broke after 3 uses and the warranty was only 90 days it is hard to answer for sure. I would not recommend buying this item.

Yes. It plays everything I have tossed at it. The latest firmware seems to have bugs so you may have to downgrade. I have 4 of these units and have been very happy with them.

Upon first plugging the player into my computer, I was asked to choose a region, and was told that I could change the region up to 5 times. So it will play disks from all regions, but you'll want to be careful how often you switch back and forth, as upon the fifth change, you'll be stuck with that region permanently (apparently).

All features with this player have been functional from the beginning. I have had no problems with things so far. Hope you find your solution. M.

I wish I could tell you 100% yes. It says it is all region free and will play any dvd from any country or region so I imagination it would. I know this answer it's that helpful but so far mine has never given me a problem with any region I've tried. I hope this helps.

To the best of my knowledge this is a region 1 blu ray player. (USA) Usually the technical specifications will specify what regions a player will operate in. Hope this helps. Btw I praised Samsung for their customer service in repairing my BD-C6500 (at no cost to me). When the player malfunctioned after I got it back they covered the shipping and repairs the second time making sure they had kept their promise to me. They even sent me an e-mail showing the unit playing the disc that wouldn't playe after I had gotten the player back. In this day and age of non responsive companies, Samsung's attention to detail and customer service was a shining example that will ensure this customer's choosing Samsung's products in the future Because of the stress free way they treated me I feel that I can fully recommend Samsung and their products.

It can play MKV files of any size (supports FAT32 & NTFS). Don't think it's region free...

I have not had a problem playing disc from several regions although I do not have any region 6 disc.

no, it plays only dvd/cd of all region. for blue ray you need one all region.

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.

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

Nope. This is a single disk player. It's a great player if you are looking for multi region player

This player will play both formats ntsc (USA) and pal (European) So far it's played anything I've put in it. Try one you'll like it.Ken

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

It is marked as a Region 4 player, but set up to work for "all" regions -- "0" through 6 are advertised, 7 & 8 are "special use" codes and may not be supported. The "all region" setting was likely done by someone other than SONY. Mine works well with Region 1 and Region 2 discs, and I've also tried it with "Region 0" PAL DVD's.

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
