Is the DVD in this unit a "muti-region" player ?

In our research, this tv covers ATSC/NTSC M/N. This takes care of North America (Us, Canada and Mexico). The rest of the world uses other systems.

It's not a recorder. It's just a multi-region player. If you are just looking for a multi region Dvd Player, "their great. I have two of them. Tuner ? I couldn't tell you, I don't know.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, it can function as a stand-alone disk player. It is a good Blu-ray player, but the feature that some sellers create (i.e., Pioneer did not originally build in that feature) in it to play multi-region disks will likely fail soon after you buy it (as it did for me). So if you are buying the unit to play multi-region disks this is not the player to buy.

This DVD player plays all regions. It gives you a crisp, clear perfect picture. I am very happy with it, I have this DVD on all three of my 55" LED TV's. Though it does play all regions, it will only play one at a time. Perhaps they sell multiple DVD players, I'm sure Amazon will let you know. Debra

answer unknown. My son has the player and uses DVD-r if that helps any. What are region 1 and region 2 dvd's?

I bought my Panasonic S68 in America,and yes it is multi region,but you have to check and make sure the one you are buying is that model.The reason I say this is the first one I purchased was for the American market only and had to return it to get the multi-region function.Hope this helps you,as it is a brilliant DVD player

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

It can play all regions with a pass code, that is easy as pie to get, and use only once. Be aware, even though this player can play PAL discs it does not do PAL 2:2 cadence, so you will see a poorer picture quality if upconverting(just like crap 3:2 pulldowns on NTSC, jaggies) If you are dgital and needs this feature you need one of the OPPO's with the Fajouda video chips...the 981, or 971. Hope that helpsStill great player :)

I did not see one. But for playing discs whatever the region they just play there is nothing to adjust, the machine is programmed to know, Very easy to use, I love it.

From what I have been able to find, it seems this player can read region one only...a deal breaker for me...

Yes, unless you have an old analog TV. If your TV is new like in the last 15 years it should be fine.I have two Phillips multi region players on two different TV's, It has multi hook up options. I have over 200 region 2 dvd's no problems.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!
