Player does not play Region 2. Any specific reason why?

Don't know for sure since this isn't the model I bought, but for what it's worth if the directions are the same, my model requires that I change Regions BEFORE I turn the Power on in the unit. I know that sounds counter-intuitive but this is what the directions say and it works.

one know issue is that if you connect the unit to the internet and the system either manually or automatically does an update it is possible the update will disable the change made by the vendor. if you feel this is not the case then you need to give some details about what you are seeing when you say won't play region 2. ghost screen, blank etc... did you setup the output of the db-f5700 to be in the right tv speed 1080i or 1080p? i recall the "1080p" has issues. try 1080i.

Hi Justin, I did not get to play my region 2 dvd's from the UK on it. I played region 4 , Australia, and USA regions and it was fine for those. If yours isn't playing region 2, or any region for that matter, I would call Samsung and find out why due to it being a multi region player. There # is 1800-726-7864. Hope your able to get better help that I did. Cheers Lesley.

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.

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.

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

It can not be used because region codes1 in Canada. However, I can use it if the player of codes2 corresponding region. Language is Japanese subtitles in Korean.

I am sorry, I can't help you there as I am in the UK and bought the DVD player for my partner who lives in the US so she could watch Region 2 DVDs. I would suggest you contact Toshiba. Otherwise, you can sometimes get a universal remote that can be adapted to work on your player.

I know that Mustek makes multiregion. But this player isn't multiregion, at least I haven't tried testing it.

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

It definitely plays Region 2 also, but isn't a 'smart' DVD player to channel Instant videos and Netflix. Our TV does that but we also use a Roku for those services.

Mine will play most dvd's. I've noticed that it will not play foreign made dvd's regardless of whether they are region 1 or region 0.

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.

Burketop, I'd like to know where you found that Samsung players play PAL? Because I have a BDr-D25052 which play all types of DVD & BluRay but NOT PAL and a chat with Samsung support advised ALL their players SOLD IN THE USA are REGION A and will NOT play PAL. So far not much luck trying to unlock it and make it region free. Thanks for any guidance!

Hi there,What a multi regional player does is it allows you to watch any movie, from any region. The coding is built into the player to allow no restrictions. It is not a feature you choose. The disc should play in these players no matter the region. I hope this was helpful

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.

Unfortunately no. The other reviews and the description are misleading. I was looking for an inexpensive region free player, that's why I bought this one. It will play DVDs in either format, NTSC or PAL. BUT, it will not play DVDs from other regions. And the review that gives the instructions on how to program it to be region free is completely inaccurate. It will not work. And if you go to the GPX site and look up this model, it tells you clearly that you can not program this unit to be region free. I wish I had checked prior to buying it. It is a decent player...just not region free, which I need.

Apparently this unit can't be made region-free.I bought the Philips DCP951/37 (saving some bucks), which, like with any Philips DVD player, can be made region-free by punching a few codes (a once in its lifetime operation). The code is easily searchable.Life's too short to deal with the region-lock BS.

as long as ur using region 1 disc you should be fine. You might call clearplay to make sure
