You can't if you are referring to Blu Ray. Oppo standard DVD players can be hacked to be region free but I am not sure that the LG can be hacked even for standard DVDs

Yes, we've got an Oppo and very satisfied with it. If you're looking to play other regions or formats (such as pal) get an Oppo-the conversion is all onboard. HKflix.com is the place to go for shopping for region-free hardware.

European (Region 2) BD390 can be unlocked by running a specific ISO (search for "6000.zip") but this hack doesn't seem to work for US (Region 1) machines.

I only buy regions codes for my country, the USA. Any other regions will NOT play. That's why I always double check to see what code the DVD is in. I also do not buy many BluRay DVDs because the formats are sometimes annoyingly slow to function.

I have a OPPO BDP 80 player which has been modified to be region-free for DVD's and Blu-Ray discs. The modification works for DVD's allowing one to play Region 2 DVD's with no problem. However, there is a problem playing Blu-Ray discs other than Region A. For example, the modified player cannot play Region B Blu-Ray discs, even after carefully following the instructions for changing from Region A to Region B. Am posting this comment to know if other owners of region-free modified OPPO BDP 80 players (modified either with a kit or by a third-party source) have had issues playing Blu-Ray discs other than Region A.

The Samsung BDF-5700 is multi-region blu-ray DVD player and works well for me, playing my DVDs from Germany. That's not what is listed in the description BD-5700 or BD-5700E.

I don't know. The Region 2 DVDs played without any problems. I hacked a previous Yamaha that I still own, but again, only played Region 2 DVDs. I like British detective/mysteries so that' s why I want a Region 2 player. I own some Japanese DVDs but Japan is in Region 2.

It's a problem with their firmware update which they refuse to pay for see http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners and http://club.cdfreaks.com/f142/lg-bd300-wont-play-normal-dvd-after-firmware-update-267216/index2.html

Yes, so far, I've played discs from Regions A and B. While the player automatically determines the region of any CD being played, it doesn't do that for blu rays. For these, one must turn off the unit, press either a "1" (for A), "2" (for B), or "3" (for C), then power on. No big deal.

DLP: Like others, my BD390 quit playing many of the newer bluray discs a couple weeks ago. Firmware is current. After first discussion with LG support, I took the unit to an authorized electronic repair. Am told the unit is working properly but CANNOT be updated further to play the newer blurays coming out, despite firmware updates. Spoke again TODAY with LG support and they confirmed this. Was told there was NO upgrade available for the unit and that NO discount would be given on purchasing a newer LG unit! They were amazingly indifferent and told me I was "out of luck".......would either have to accept the fact this unit was ALREADY outdated for current and upcoming blurays, or buy a newer unit. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FUTURE LG PRODUCTS. DLP

No. Many Blu-rays are NOT region encoded; you can check yours to see if they have an A/B/C designation. If not, you are good to go on Blu-ray.If region is an issue for your collection, you can check out hacks like this to make your player region free: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bd65/10861 (similar model)If you have DVDs you want to play back, you will run into PAL (Europe) vs NTSC (US) issues even if you apply a region code hack like this. You would have to search for a firmware hack to play PAL DVDs.

It already is region-free (or multi-region) for standard DVDs (though you'll search in vain in LG's product info for this fact). Your worry was exactly my worry as well (and a reason to support HD-DVD over Blu-ray, originally, since HD-DVDs were all region-free, oh well). I don't know whether it will play other region Blu-ray disks (since I don't have any), but it will--with no modification at all--play region 1 and 2 DVDs (I have a collection of DVDs from Europe, and they play fine). I was very happy about this, as you can imagine! (I had to buy a special DVD player a few years back and get it modified to play these DVDs before.) So now I don't need my DVD player at all.
