After multiregion firmware upgrade you have to press and hold the "Enter" button on your remote until the player shuts itself down.

Yes, The answer that Carol the Dabbler gave you just might be what is wrong. Here is the ASIN Number for NON Region free [B00FF9SVWA] and the ASIN for Region Free [B00HM9TIS2]

Strange, everywhere I've read states that Toshiba players are region free. I think the thing is with some euro discs is that they require you to use HDMI or they get downscaled to 480p. That's the only problem I've read about yet and it's only on some of them. Maybe that was the case and the T.V. was trying to do 1080i/p and wasn't prepared for it so it didn't allow a picture. Are you using component or HDMI?

I was able to install it on Windows 7 with no problem. However, even though I had selected English as the language, it all came up in Chinese (I think). Even in Chinese though I went over to the 3rd or 4th tab over and clicked on it which brought up the various languages and I again selected English which at that point converted everything to English. Hopefully that will help.

Here's the problem. I have not yet found the solution to make this region free. If you search for the "patch" code crack, whatever you like to call it, you get a few solutions. It seems that some people got it to work, but there are a few including myself that hasn't (and I got mine here at amazon). I also have noticed that the region code that they are telling you to input is the Region 2 Player hack. The region 1 code they tell you to use 29334 has not worked for me. It might not be the correct code for the Region 1 player. ***SIDE NOTE If your looking to convert VHS to DVD, know that picture quality is really great, but on bad vhs tapes the audio goes out of sync and records that way throughout the rest of the movie. I have had this happen many times.

No, to my knowledge the player is not region free nor can it be modified to enable it to play other region DVDS Amazon sells a Yamaha multi region capable player that I have which is excellent but it is not a portable DVDS player.

You can get Philips pet824 which is an excellent model. Then you can make it region free by pressing a combination of buttons in the menu(google pet824 region free; you'll find it), and then it will play DVDs from every country, regardless if it is PAL or another region code.

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.

You have to set a region first (which I don't want to do) because the drive comes region-free (with firmware level RPC-2). As is, I have tried playing a Region 2 DVD from Japan using MPC HC, VLC and Power DVD 10 and only MPC was able to open the disk but the image was heavily pixelized and it eventually crashed.

Where do you find the code to make a Philips dvd player region-free? And yes, the region coding angers me too as I can get my British comedies cheaper from AmazonUK (even with postage). Then there are the comedies that have never been put in Region 1. For everyone's info I read that Microsoft has a free download that will make your computer region free.

"It is a region free player"No, it is NOT a region free player, it plays region 1 DVDs and region A Blu-ray discs. It also plays region 0 DVDs.
