Can this product play DVDs of all regions? Or is it region free? Is this one region-free?

According to the the downloaded manual it is not region free, see below: Region management information BD-Video This unit plays BD-Video marked with labels containing the region code A. DVD-Video This unit plays DVD-Video marked with labels containing the region number "1" or "ALL".

As far as i know you can use downloadable programs and software such as vlc media player which allows you to play a dvd regardless of the region.p.s Im not a computer wiz when it comes to dvds but im sure with a few minutes of research you can come up with your answer.VLC Media Player-( http://www.downloadster.org/lp/vlc-player/354/?_u=8lgn9qing2ajg83bhfvbh70bappahscpb17bum2a2ko2lp9rs331-28238245d0382006e38babdfc4b8d8f6 )

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?

This DVD player plays all regions. It gives you a crisp, clear perfect picture. I am very happy with it, I have this DVD on all three of my 55" LED TV's. Though it does play all regions, it will only play one at a time. Perhaps they sell multiple DVD players, I'm sure Amazon will let you know.Debra

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

Yes, practically all regions once you set it up. My main need is for European and USA dvds. I travel on vacations and like to buy dvd with visuals of the country travelled in addition to my own photos. It works well for me with my Samsung Smart TV. The set up was done by a audio visual professional.

The dvds are in the USA region. I'm not sure if the dvds will play in other regions. Sorry I couldn't help you more!

I just put a dvd in and it plays it. I dont have to do anything to it. So no I do not have to chose a region code. It does it all by itself, put in the dvd and push play. I love it so far. I have dvds from America and from other Countries.

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!

All bluray players play dvds. And it actually has a region free DVD player.

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 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.

There is an after market hardware mod that will successfully make it region free. It is user installable externally; but would require a tech to install it permanently internally. I paid $29 for the hardware (it's a small circuit board), & it plugs in externally to 2 ports (1 USB port & if I remember right) also the e-sata port.It works perfectly on dvd, I haven't purchased any Blu-rays that aren't region A yet.

Hmm. Good question. I play DVDs directly in my computer. But if you want to hook up the Toshiba multi-region to your PC and are playing another region DVD in in it, I wonder if the PC will reject that other-region DVD?

Yes - mine plays Region a, b, c and numeral regions 1 through 6. It plays BR discs, and is backward compatible with regular DVDs, although I have only played region A1 with non-blue ray.There is one playback element that I really don't like, and that is if you hit "stop" for any reason, it does not remember the disc location to resume. Otherwise, I love the machine. Picture quality is brilliant.

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

You can play DVD's with other TV systems, like PAL, which is the system in Europe and also DVD's from other world regions like Asia, Australia, etc. . There are 6 regions, and the US is 1, if you buy a DVD in Spain, for example will be 2, and you won't be able to play that in a regular DVD but with this multiregion DVD player you will be OK. This is a wonderful DVD player..
