What's the remote control's code for switching Blu-Ray regions? Also, the player will auto-switch to the correct region for DVDs, correct?

It appears to be an automatic thing. I have played UK and US region DVDs with no effort on my part.

Yes, this player plays blu ray discs from regions A,B,and C, as well as DVDs from regions 1 through 6.

I was told by Samsung that it would play region free blu Ray discs but it will not play discs that are region b. I think it was misleading. To be honest there are no region free blu ray players out there I have tried them all. Hopefully this answers your question.

Mine plays any type DVD I've put in it. I didn't have to change any thing. Perhaps you screwed something up by changing to PAL. Did it come with instructions? I'd advise reading them. I had no problem, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and it's been working ever since. I've played region 2, 3 and others without having to change any settings or do anything.

The unit must be in the normal power mode not Quick Start Mode. Quick start does not allow for zone switching because the player never shuts down, so make sure the quick start option is OFF. Default is OFF. Switching Blu-Ray Zones is manual and is done with the remote control. Turn OFF the player and wait until the player's display is BLANK. THAN : For Zone A-press Button 1 then POWER BUTTON For Zone B-press Button 2 then POWER BUTTON For Zone C-press Button 3 then POWER BUTTON When switching between Blu-Ray Zones you will not see or hear anything-this is normal-the player however will switch as it always responds to th IR commands from your remote control, just make sure the player is OFF before you press any buttons (player's display should be blank.) Hope this helps

as with any other drive, you have the option to change the region. However you have a limited lifetime numbers of changes (4). Thus, once you change it, you can't just go back and forth. There is some software to circumvent this issue (slysoft anydvd and others) and play any region DVD. see more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DVD_drives

1. Don't put DVD in player. 2. Press "Setup" on remote. 3. Press "&gt;" to "Preferances" menu. (If DVD is in player, the "Preferances" menu will be skipped over.) 4. At that screen enter 138931 on remote. 5. Region code screen is displayed. Press "^" to "0". 6. Press "Setup" on remote. 7. Press "OK" on remote.

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 :-)

No special instructions; works fine with different regions but some US Blu-rays strangely get blocked and can't be played!

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.

I just put a dvd in and it plays it. I dont have to do anything to it. So no I do not have to chose a region code. It does it all by itself, put in the dvd and push play. I love it so far. I have dvds from America and from other Countries.

Sorry, I really don't know. I bought mine to play Blu-ray disks only. The remote has a button for a couple of on line services, but I don't use them. Hope your question hit someone who does use these feature and you get an answer.

You could try changing the region on the box to 0 - all regions. I tossed the Panasonic in the trash, upgraded the firmware on an old Sony blu ray I had and it works Great.

This device is multi-region for DVD out of the box. But it is not completely for BD as there is a Region Code Instructions set on a piece of paper. I tried it successfully on mine. - No disc inserted - Press "Setup" - Enter code "1369" - DVD code is set to 0 which means multi-region - Blu Ray code is 1 for region A, 2 for region B and 4 for region C - press "Setup" again to saveIf you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

"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.)
