What is the BD and DVD region on this player if I buy in the USA?

The region will be A i.e 1 - but the DVD region will be universal, which means you will be able to play blue ray graded with "A" i.e 1 but all DVD's will work in the is unit.

"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.)

It plays my DVDs from US and Europe. However, since I am using windows I still needed to set a region code for the drive. You need a software like AnyDVD to overcome the Reagion Code issue.

I'm not really sure because I only live in the one region of the United States. I do however have a couple discs from the UK and it seems to play them without a problem.

Yes the DVD player is region free, is has an HDMI port. You can stop the DVD or remove it completely and the player will start right back where you left off. It is a really nice DVD player. I hope this helps, sorry it took me so long to answer.

It was my understanding that the DVDs were region sensitive not the players. But what do I know.

Simple answer: Yes. BluRay disk fall into 4 geographic regions identified as A,B,C, and D. The US is region A and Europe is region B. It also plays all 8 DVD regions.

You can play DVD's with other TV systems, like PAL, which is the system in Europe and also DVD's from other world regions like Asia, Australia, etc. . There are 6 regions, and the US is 1, if you buy a DVD in Spain, for example will be 2, and you won't be able to play that in a regular DVD but with this multiregion DVD player you will be OK. This is a wonderful DVD player..

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.

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

According to the instruction manual:"BD-VideoThis unit plays BD-Video marked with labels containing the region code A.""DVD-VideoThis unit plays DVD-Video marked with labels containing the region number "1" or "ALL".Hope this helps.

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon. Hope that helps :-)

As I understand it if you are in the U.S. and update this products firmware you will not be able to play other regions dvd's

I only buy regions codes for my country, the USA. Any other regions will NOT play. That's why I always double check to see what code the DVD is in. I also do not buy many BluRay DVDs because the formats are sometimes annoyingly slow to function.

Mathew, To change Blu-ray regions, turn the player on and remove any discs. Press home to go to setup menu, then press 8, 5, 2, 0 to get to the factory settings. Select BD region code and press 1, 2, or 3 for regions A, B, or C, then exit with the Home button. This has to be done whenever you use Blu-Ray discs from different zones. DVD's should already have region 0 selected so you can play any of them without doing anything. I have lots of region 2 DVD's from the UK, and even a Mike Oldfield concert encoded for regions 3, 4, and 6 which I just stick them in and play them anytime. It's a great little player. I love mine, and I think you will too once you get familiar with it. It even has features many big name brand machines don't offer, like multi-speed slo-mo and A-B repeat. Enjoy, Woody

the dvd only read region #1 DVD discs (USA DVD), but dont worry, you just need to recode videos and movies into a flash device or HD. More here:
