you can play nearly any region dvd on your pc simply by putting it in your system's dvd player and setting the region to the proper number upon being requested by the popup window. some dvds bypass this, according to an italian dvd we purchased online that did not require resetting. you may change the region only 5 times, however, before your systems's set permanently to the last region.

Did you ever get the region unlock to work? The posted instructions are the only ones I can find anywhere, and no, they do not work.If anyone knows another way, please share. Thanks much!!

Got this from VDO Help but not verify yet:-Turn On the unit with the remote controller Wait until "no disc" appears in the unit's display Press Pause, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9 The word "CODE" should appear in the display Within five seconds, press the key that corresponds to the zone you want i.e. 0 for region free, 1 for region 1, 2 for region 2 and so on Again, within 5 seconds, press Pause and PowerPlease post your result whether this really work.

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

Burketop, I'd like to know where you found that Samsung players play PAL? Because I have a BDr-D25052 which play all types of DVD & BluRay but NOT PAL and a chat with Samsung support advised ALL their players SOLD IN THE USA are REGION A and will NOT play PAL. So far not much luck trying to unlock it and make it region free. Thanks for any guidance!

Hi Justin, I did not get to play my region 2 dvd's from the UK on it. I played region 4 , Australia, and USA regions and it was fine for those. If yours isn't playing region 2, or any region for that matter, I would call Samsung and find out why due to it being a multi region player. There # is 1800-726-7864. Hope your able to get better help that I did. Cheers Lesley.

Almost every Blu-ray or DVD player from Sony will only play discs for the region it is sold. Only a modified Sony player will play multiple regions , which will of course void its warranty.

Hi Rebecca -- I'm an owner, but not an expert. A quick Google search on "region 1 DVDs" took me to the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code It looks like this Panasonic player will play Region 1 DVDs, assuming you purchased it in the USA, Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, or US Territories. I do not know if Panasonic (or anyone else) offers codes for playing other regions. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately no. The other reviews and the description are misleading. I was looking for an inexpensive region free player, that's why I bought this one. It will play DVDs in either format, NTSC or PAL. BUT, it will not play DVDs from other regions. And the review that gives the instructions on how to program it to be region free is completely inaccurate. It will not work. And if you go to the GPX site and look up this model, it tells you clearly that you can not program this unit to be region free. I wish I had checked prior to buying it. It is a decent player...just not region free, which I need.

Probably not. This is a region 1 (North America) player. You can use a region-free player. Also, most computer DVD players are region-free, so you can try that.

Hi there. So I wasn't sure about this question, but i looked it up online;as far as I know, there shouldn't be a problem. If there is, however, you can change the region code on your dvd player, here's a link that explains how it works: http://www.wisebread.com/make-your-dvd-player-region-free-in-seconds Also, I believe that dvds work regardless on a laptop, so if you don't feel like fiddling around with your dvd player, you should just be able to play it on your computer. I hope this helps!

I apologize. I looked up my past orders to see if it had a number- to no avail. I can tell you BOMBAY Electronics is the seller and the description is ALL MULTI REGION FREE (0-6) DVD player by Toshiba. Whatever you do..do not get a sony..it I s not- and I ordered that previously and it was broken. Hope this helps.

It would be nice to have a definitive answer about whether or not this unit from Sony is multi-region ready or can be set up to be multi-region.Can somebody chime in with details please? thanks!

yes, the dvd player is region free right out of the box - will play any region and I have personally used the player to play both UK (region 2) and US (region 1) dvds. The unit handles going from region 2 to region 1 and back to region 2 with absolutely no hesitation. The unit is also PAL/NTSC compatible which means something completely different - if you have a UK purchased television it is in PAL format while a US television is in NTSC format - this unit can be connected to either US or UK television and the image will display correctly. The plug that is with the unit is a US plug.

1. I found PAL listing in the set up menu so you change this using your remote control.2. I did not even need to make it region free to make it work for DVD's from other countries. Even if you need this the code is already posted by a reviewer on Amazon

Don't know what region code is on the disk, etc..., You may want to contact BeachBody and ask. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

I second buying a second OPPO DVD player for standard DVD playback.It's a shame OPPO has locked down the region free option on their BD players. My OPPO 970 was a simple IR remote code entry to make it region free and works flawlessly on PAL discs.I can understand OPPO's position on FW hacks bricking units, but why could they not have made this the simple IR remote code entry functionality?

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)
