Does this DVD player really play all regions? I see conflicting reviews. It must play regions 6(uK) and region 1 (na)

Yes it does. I've had this unit just over a year with no problems whatsoever. I've played DVDs from all regions-mostly Australia, Great Britain and US.

I purchased two of these and both have palyed all regions without any issues.

It's completely region free. I watch differant movies all the time and have no problem with them. The only thing is the plug. I'm constantly plugging it bak in because the slightest bump and it comes unplugged.

I bought it specifically for UK DVDs and they play just fine, as well as the US DVDs. Anywhere else, I have no idea.

I have not had a problem playing disc from several regions although I do not have any region 6 disc.

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_codeIt 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!

Diana,Did you get it to play foreign dvd's on it or did you find a player that plays dvd's other than region 1?Thanks.

I have only played region 2 DVDs.. I have never tried region 1, but I think they should play on it.

I don't understand what you mean by "region free". This is just a portable DVD player that can be used to play DVDs. I use it in my home and it works well.

I have both region 1 and 2 dvd's and they play ok. Just make sure that when you receive the box there is a 'region free' sticker on the outside.

No, it does not. It only plays DVDs from the region where you buy the player. Source: personal experience :(

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 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.

Yes, you can connect & see DVDs from different regions if your Player is multi- system. For me, I get DVDs even from over seas & played with no problem except few DVD. My other suggestion is, you can directly insert the DVDS & play. The time you posted this question, I tried to connect with two players. One in A/V & the other with HDMI & both works fine. Hope it helps.

So, is there a "special" DVD player just to play region 7 DVDs? What a bout the multiregion DVD players?

For some different region discs in order for it to be compatible with this player, you might have to use the remote & manually change the zone for it to be compatible. I know that some region discs change automatically to be compatible. If using the remote doesn't work or adjusting the cords in the back of the TV, then I don't know what the issue is.

Normally videos would say rather or not they play in different regions, but I don't see that on the ones I have. There are, however, different Just Dance videos for different countries. If you want the US version, I would check your DVD player to see if its a multi regional, or check to see if the internet has a video converter that would allow you to play the video.I hope this works for you!

I have also had that problem but with only one Blu-ray set. An error message pops up saying that the disc can be played only on Region 2 players only. I can only suppose that this set was produced in such a way that it would not work on multi-region players. It is the only disc I have that does this. I have loads of Blu rays from the UK and these and all others from everywhere else play just fine.

It accepts all Blu-Ray regions. You need to look in the user manual to switch the Blu-Ray Region manually. It switches automatically for DVDs. So yes it play region B but you need to switch it manually.

I own the same player but I bought in Australia. It works fine with Blue-ray Region B and with some Region A discs (I'm not sure why?), but this is not a region free player.
