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've read people complain of this, but I cannot find where on the write ups this player says its multi-regional.Both the Sony website and the users manual say explicitly this player is only for region 1.

sorry unable to help as I dont understand the question. I do know that the JVC Multi Region player is very simple to use as the machine recognises the dvd's and plays accordingly.

PAL is European , right? The European DVDs will play, but NOT the blurays. It only plays blurays from the USA.

I believe it is a multi region player but as it broke after 3 uses and the warranty was only 90 days it is hard to answer for sure. I would not recommend buying this item.

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!

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. ;)

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.

Thanks for your reply. I had equated NTSC or PAL with the region. So, if I want to play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, regardless of what region these discs are, I would need a player that can be set to region 0 = region free?

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.

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....."

This mostly means there is region restriction, though NTSC/PAL does not deal with the region.But usually, USA uses the NTSC picture format and Asian countries use PAL picture format. If you try the CD/DVD/picture CD from outside USA that is not NTSC format, it will either show you black and white picture or the audio will be gone. From my experience, Sony does not bring out multi-region devices as they support most of the blood sucking money thirsty enterprises who want to make sure you get the product for a specific usage while they charge you for the so called 'quality' and provide just the standard features.

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.
