I am not sure about dvd's from other countries. I do know that it plays alot of formats, but am not sure of the format other countries use. Sorry I could not be of more help.

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.

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!

My region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.

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

i don't think so - it's advertised as an all-region DVD player. Check with the vendor instead.

It will pay every region DVD but on a multi system TV only. You can also use your current TV and use a video converter for the other regions. That will also work. This unit is great and very flexible.

Sorry Twila, it won't. You need to have a region FREE dvd player and this is only for the US. Oh, by the way, stay clear from Amazon on this one, unless you do not mind buying used-reconditioned items that they say is NEW.

sorry unable to help as I dont understand the question. I do know that the JVC Multi Region player is very simple to use as the machine recognises the dvd's and plays accordingly.

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?

Hi there,What a multi regional player does is it allows you to watch any movie, from any region. The coding is built into the player to allow no restrictions. It is not a feature you choose. The disc should play in these players no matter the region. I hope this was helpful

It definitely plays Region 2 also, but isn't a 'smart' DVD player to channel Instant videos and Netflix. Our TV does that but we also use a Roku for those services.

No, it is Region One restricted. It will play Region 0 discs also, but not other regions.

"Region free" means you may play DVDs from various regions. That is, rather than playing DVDs from just the USA (as most DVD players sold in the USA do), this unit will play DVDs from other countries as well as those from the USA. I use it to play DVDs of British films/TV shows I can't access in the USA. (Please note that it plays DVDs---but not blu-ray---from other countries.)

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

Thank you for your interest in our products. As long as you have the correct software to play those different region it will work.
