It's for all regions. I bought it so I could play dvds from Europe, which I believe are Region 2.

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

Recordable DVD's cannot have any region coding on them. Region coding is hard coded onto pressed discs, the kind of discs you'd buy on a DVD from a movie studio. Regions are immaterial for recorded DVD's. Be aware that a DVD from a different region may not be playable on your TV because it may not be in the video standard for your set. For instance, R1 DVD's are NTSC; R2 are PAL. If you try to play a PAL disc on an NTSC TV, you'll get scrambled, black and white video.

I purchased this unit for my Grand son (lives in another state), so I no longer have the instruction booklet. However, when I purchased this unit, it was advertised a a "Multi-Region - PAL/NTSC Format Player" - so it "should" play Region 2 disc's (I believe all of Europe uses the PAL format). I have never played any other format other than the US Region, so I do NOT have first hand knowledge.

I have no idea what A/1 region blue rays are but if you go into any store and it says blue ray disc....it plays. Remember that most blue ray players can play regular dvds but non-blue ray players cannot.

All DVD's are coded by the manufacture prior to sale for one of several regions. Region 1 is NORTH AMERICA, region 2 is WESTERN EUROPE as examples this has to do with agreements made with various artists organizations to protect their financial interests. Most DVD players are made for one region only. This unit has software in it to bypass this protection for DVD's only, so you should be able to play DVD from anywhere. HOWEVER, when playing Blue ray disks it is region A only. Meaning only Blue Ray disks made for NORTH AMERICA can be played.

Region free is a code for Blu-rays and DVDs. Ranging from A/B/C/FREE for Blu-ray and 1/2/3/4/5/6/0 for DVD, this is the designated code for each region of the world. Region Free or Region 0 is a version that is not locked to any particular region and will typically play on any player worldwide. If you're looking for the biggest supplier for region free titles in the U.S you can check out http://scyllar.com/ they offering free shipping, no tax and have a huge selection of titles including region free imports.

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon. Hope that helps :-)

"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.

Otto, The answer is yes for most but not all. go this site to check if your player is listed. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks I think region 0 is the setting for all regions. Good luck. EdCherif

It's an international player, that means it can play ever region dvd's (setting 0) but you can set it to just one region also. I switched to setting 2 (description how-to below) after it won't run some dvd's (first issues after about 6 month on setting 0, some dvds might change the software and then several dvds started to stop/jump/don't run at all - it depends so much which dvd - some run some don't and you never know which one starts making trouble ... I changed the setting to region 2 just recently, so I cannot say, if this is a solution for that annoying issue: How-to change the setting: 1. NO dvd indside/ 2. Press setup (remote)/ 3. Press the down arrow three times until you see the "preference" page/ 4. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1/ 5. Press up/down key to select region (0= all regions - trouble?/ 1 USA/2 Europe, Japan, South Africa ...)/ 6. Turn off the player DONE!

DVDs are "region" formatted. Region = playback coding for a dvd. 1) you need a universal dvd player OR 2) assuming you live in the USA, you need a region 1 coding dvd. Total of 8 dvd "region".... R1: USA/Canada. R2: Japan, part of Europe, etc...
