What is the code for Phillips DVP 5982? I think I need the all-region code for this player. What is it?

The ad says the DVP5982 is region free from the factory. Why is a code needed??

I think you need the code if you don't purchase it from VCT Electronics. They are converting the DVD players to region-free and charging an extra $40 for the conversion.

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.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

I don't know. Wish I did. I bought this DVD player just so that I could play PAL DVDs. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to get this player to play my PAL DVDs. There's a white sticker on the front of the box that says, "CODEFREE DVD 012345678 PAL/NTSC." However, there's nothing on the box or in the instructions, that says the player will play PAL. It only says this on the sticker that's been added to the box. Also, the supposedly new player came with a beaten-up Disney DVD already in it. I definitely feel ripped off, Eileen O'Sullivan

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.

Peter, can you share names / websites of these independent sellers of blu-ray disc players? I'd like a blu-ray disc player that plays PAL and NTSC blu-ray and DVD discs from all regions (if such players are available). Thank you.

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.

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.

Does anyone know if there is a patch for multi-region viewing on the BD570 yet? It's been a great machine, but we watch international DVDs and it's a pain to have two machines for this purpose only!Thanks for any help I can get on this.Tim

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean. At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

1. I found PAL listing in the set up menu so you change this using your remote control.2. I did not even need to make it region free to make it work for DVD's from other countries. Even if you need this the code is already posted by a reviewer on Amazon

My review was written for the Pioneer DVD player that was NTSC only. I don't know why it was posted under this region-free device.

It would be nice to have a definitive answer about whether or not this unit from Sony is multi-region ready or can be set up to be multi-region.Can somebody chime in with details please? thanks!

Has anybody actually tried this on the 5960 to see whether it works? I'd like to hear some success stories before I try it. I plan to go to the UK next year. Are most of the DVD's sold in the UK PAL Region 2 or "All Regions" ? Several of the British Railway ones I've ordered are Pal and "All".

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.

If it plays PAL, does that mean that the region coding can be overridden? That I can finally buy DVDs from overseas without a hitch? Let me know. Thanks.
