We purchased a copy of the Winter Olympics from England that we were not able to view. we needed a new DVD player so decided to go with the Panasonic sense we have a Panasonic television. we truly enjoy our PANASONIC DMP-BD87. Setup was very easy and we can also use it to view Netflix , Hulu and many other online subscriptions. We recommend this product!

The Panasonic is the best choice by far.If you have a Panasonic screen to use with your multi-region blu ray dvd both units communicate with each other making use very simple.

I'm very happy with this one and I have used region free for over 15 years both for Europe and Asia.

No, I did my research after reading your question, and it looks like Blu-Ray uses a "region coding" system similar to DVD players.But if you're desperate to play PAL DVDs, Amazon's independent sellers have a lot of players that are region free, and you can get them for cheap. I got one for $50, and it's played any DVD I've thrown at it, regardless of region.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly.

No. Many Blu-rays are NOT region encoded; you can check yours to see if they have an A/B/C designation. If not, you are good to go on Blu-ray. 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) If you have DVDs you want to play back, you will run into PAL (Europe) vs NTSC (US) issues even if you apply a region code hack like this. You would have to search for a firmware hack to play PAL DVDs.

There is an after market hardware mod that will successfully make it region free. It is user installable externally; but would require a tech to install it permanently internally. I paid $29 for the hardware (it's a small circuit board), & it plugs in externally to 2 ports (1 USB port & if I remember right) also the e-sata port.It works perfectly on dvd, I haven't purchased any Blu-rays that aren't region A yet.

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_codeIt 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!

Does anyone know whether it will convert PAL/NTSC DVD when using TV out and connecting to NTSC/PAL TV? The manual says, that the DVD has to match the TVs system, which would mean it won't convert.I need a player I can take oversees and hook up to a TV over there. It also would be nice to be able to do the same with PAL discs over here. So far from high end players I found only Pana LS91/97 which are close to that, but it requires service remote to unlock regions and is stil missing PAL->NTSC conversion.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) I have found that Sony products are not as reliable as they used to be. I have nowswitched to the Panasonic and Samsung Blu ray players. I think my preference is Panasonic. Even their tv's are not as reliable as they used to be.I also have the s580 and have had no problem with it .

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

Well, when I found my region-free DVD player it wasn't listed by the manufacturer, it was a member rating that stated it could be used as a code-free player. But thanks for the info on the price. Yes on the Panasonic website it's listed for $399.

Yes, this player will play DVD's from all regions, AND Blu Rays from all zones! Plus, it can connect to the internet wirelessly!
