This is right, but, I would like to add that I was confused for days because there was nowhere in preferences to type in the code---finally called a relative who said to just point the remote at the screen and type in and enter the code, and it worked.Also, I was misled by another post into thing that I had to have a DVD in the player to do this. In fact, the player must be empty.Then---it works.

I'd like to know this too---mine skips over the 'preference' list, I can't access it.

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.

There is an after market hardware mod that will successfully make it region free. It is user installable externally; but would require a tech to install it permanently internally. I paid $29 for the hardware (it's a small circuit board), & it plugs in externally to 2 ports (1 USB port & if I remember right) also the e-sata port.It works perfectly on dvd, I haven't purchased any Blu-rays that aren't region A yet.

Hi Kate, I'm in NZ too, and I found a way to unlock the dvd players via a quick online search so they can play all regions dvds. "PD9016 region hack. Switch on the unit and wait for the main blue screen to appear (do not have a dvd inserted it will only work without a dvd in the machine. On the blue screen push the up/down buttons on the front of the unit below the screen in the following sequence: up, down, up, down, up, up, down. A preferences menu will appear which then allows you to change the region code 0-6 again using the up/down buttons. Works fine. "

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 :)

Has anybody actually tried this on the 5960 to see whether it works? I'd like to hear some success stories before I try it. I plan to go to the UK next year. Are most of the DVD's sold in the UK PAL Region 2 or "All Regions" ? Several of the British Railway ones I've ordered are Pal and "All".

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?

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

I second buying a second OPPO DVD player for standard DVD playback.It's a shame OPPO has locked down the region free option on their BD players. My OPPO 970 was a simple IR remote code entry to make it region free and works flawlessly on PAL discs.I can understand OPPO's position on FW hacks bricking units, but why could they not have made this the simple IR remote code entry functionality?

Dear S Mitra, my unit (BDX1400) will NOT play european (PAL) DVDs. It ejects them with the message "Wrong Region"Am I doing something wrong? How do you make it work?

Hi, Because this is a disc drive, and not a standalone player, it all depends on your software, I believe. If you have the right software to play multi-region discs, you should be able to pop in your disc and the drive should be able to read it and play it on screen. And, of course, Amazon has a wonderful return policy so you're not left with something that doesn't work for you.

Jason:Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

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.

Upon first plugging the player into my computer, I was asked to choose a region, and was told that I could change the region up to 5 times. So it will play disks from all regions, but you'll want to be careful how often you switch back and forth, as upon the fifth change, you'll be stuck with that region permanently (apparently).

Once you hit "Home," you are to type 8520. A menu should appear where you hit "1" for region A, "2" for region B, and "3" for region C. Hit "Home" again to exit. Your disc should play. If this is not happening, then something technologically may be wrong. I would call the business from which you purchased the product. I have no problems with the Saachi player and have really enjoyed it.
