Does this mean I can play DVD originated from any region? Does the player need to be unlocked or what it says is true that "Region Free"

The item description should list somewhere all the regions that the player covers. Check that. I know when I bought this player, it covered multiple regions worldwide. Check the regions it covers to be sure the region your looking for is on there.

I didn't have to unlock anything and I live in America but have English DVD's from when I lived in England. Not knowing what 'region' you are in, it is difficult to answer fully, but, as far as I'm aware, it will play any DVD.

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.

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.

Unfortunately this won't work with foreign DVDs - it will only play region 1 (USA) discs. I just saw some region-free players available here on Amazon. Consider those as they will play foreign discs. As for CDs, any DVD player will play them, even if you burned them yourself (the only ones that won't play burned CDs are really old players - all newer ones will without issues). Hope this helps - good luck with your selection!

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

As far as I know this DVD player plays all regions. I now use this player to play all my DVD'sboth USA and UK.

Amazon's site has a bit of confusion on this issue - many of the players will indicate NTSC/PAL compatible but what this means is that the dvd player has the ability to be connected to either a US or UK television not necessarily does this mean it will play a region 2 disk. If you want multi region player in order to play either region 1 dvds or region 2 dvds then I would recommend going with one that specifically indicates "region free" or "plays region 1,2,3,4,5....."

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?

Googled a number of "region free" dvd players, a Samsung for as little as $40.00. LG also has "region free" players. Could not pin down a player that interfaces with computer but a bit more googling might find one.

I am not sure about dvd's from other countries. I do know that it plays alot of formats, but am not sure of the format other countries use. Sorry I could not be of more help.

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_code It 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!

It means that any DVDs from any place in the world can play on them. If a DVD is made for Europe for example it will not play on an American player so a region free players will play any DVDs.

Description indicates that the unit is region free and one answer to an earlier question indicated the responder played both region 1 and region 4 disks with no problems. I am currently waiting for seller to response to request for verification as to the unit being region free and will post when/if I get a response. I wanted to verify with seller as amazon site has confusing phrasing between a unit being region free (what you want) and units being NTSC/PAL compatible which would mean that the unit could be used with either a US or a UK television set ( US is NTSC and UK is PAL)

All DVD players will play PAL and NTSC. That's not the same as "region free." Generally, you select either NTSC or PAL output in the setup. A PAL DVD would have to be region free for you to be able to play it.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly.

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.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!
