The dvd player I'm considering is an all-region player, that usually don't get covered by manuf. warranties. Will this company actually warranty it?

I have no idea, the item we ordered, little TV, didn't work when we got it, and to me returns are a pain, so I'm out over $70, but it was a good lesson, don't order electronics!

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

I haven't actually tried it on a non region 1 DVD player, but when I look at the package, on the back there is the symbol of a globe with "ALL" in it, instead of a globe with just a "1" in it, which seems to indicate that it should work in all regions.

No, to my knowledge the player is not region free nor can it be modified to enable it to play other region DVDSAmazon sells a Yamaha multi region capable player that I have which is excellent but it is not a portable DVDS player.

While I can't pretend to have studied this matter in depth, I can't think of any reason why it WON'T work.Moreover, I would think that, if there were a problem, either the Manufacturer, Amazon, or both, would include a warning (similar to the "region" codes placed on DVD/Blu-rays) in the description.

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

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. These players are originally region one.

No, it does not. It only plays DVDs from the region where you buy the player. Source: personal experience :(

All I know, I can play DVD from both US and Indonesia.I tried with some other US DVD player and I cannot play any Indonesia DVD (somebody told me, most of US DVD Player can only read NTSC, while mine most likely is PAL)So I just drew conclusion, it should be compatible with any type of DVD

Not sure to be honest. I have only played 1 US DVD (from library) but all our DVDs from the UK worked perfectly. Sorry I can't be more help. Might find out after renting more DVDs in the US.

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

If you're looking for a multi-region dvd player. Search online for "multi-region dvd player codes" then look for that player. I think they are becoming more difficult to find. Also going back say ten years I remember the american market was accidentally flooded with them. A major company (I forget who) unloaded a large shipment in the USA with the multi-region open. Reason was there were only supposed to be a couple made that way for "trials" of dvd's. However something happened.

I'm pretty sure it cannot. I'm not 100% sure, but to the best of my knowledge, "all region" DVD players are quite expensive.

Thanks Marla. It's just that import-world.com advertised a Panasonic Blu-Ray player that they claim (and guarantee) to be region free - but that might be misleading as it may be region free for DVDs and not Blu-Rays. I will have to call them to make sure. Thanks.

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?
