does a multi regional dvd player only play on digital television sets? I believe mine is a tube-television that is only about five years old.

I am using this machine on a old Tobisha CRT set. I have a digital converter connected to the set as well as the DVD player. It works just fine. You should have no problem. Just remember that it has no tuner, so you may (probably) will not be able to copy shows off the TV.

I think that the TV output or the AV output on the player will connect with a tube type television. The other outputs are component and hdmi which work with the more modern digital TVs. The remote lets you select which of the 4 possible connections you want to use.

I am not 100% sure but as there RGB connectors if your TV is equipped with this should be ok.

The fact that the unit is multi-regional has nothing to with the kind of tv you want to play the dvd's on. Any tv that lets you connect the proper cable will work fine. Your tv and recorder manuals will tell you which ones will work best.

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.

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. ;)

Im not exactly sure what a multi-region is. It only holds one blu ray and I haven't come across any problems playing blu rays.

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

Yes, it will play DVDs from all regions. I play both Region 1 and 2 DVDs on mine.

Yeah, guess I'll be living with my old multiregion DVD player (a CyberHome) as well for a while yet... still hoping to reduce the number of remotes we have to deal with (I was happy that LG included program codes for a whole bunch of TVs, so I could get the LG remote to control my TV [a Philips LCD], at least!). Thanks for the pointer: here's hoping...!

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this. I'm British and my wife lives in Arizona, so I got the DVD player so that we can watch Region 2 DVDs as well as Region 1 when I visit. We have never used it to play music on.

Yes, I've tested the player and it does play region one and region two. I have not played any other regions (three or four).

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.

I think if it's not a HD player it wont read it. At least that's what the manual says, and other threads that I've read. That goes for DVD's too. If it's not a HD player it won't read it and won't play it. I believe that this unit isn't HD.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

I believe that has to do with your player and not the DVD player. I've played DVDs from other regions but Windows asked me to switch my regions. I ended up downloading a player that didn't care about the region. Hope that helps.

Hi Justin, I did not get to play my region 2 dvd's from the UK on it. I played region 4 , Australia, and USA regions and it was fine for those. If yours isn't playing region 2, or any region for that matter, I would call Samsung and find out why due to it being a multi region player. There # is 1800-726-7864. Hope your able to get better help that I did. Cheers Lesley.

Mine plays DVDs better than any DVD player. Return your unit and get another one.

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.

Steve - I have no idea. BUT I can tell you a bunch of things I have recorded on Verbatim disks will not play on my Sony television. Makes no sense to me, as my DVD player is NOT a sony, buy that's one of my issues. Good luck. Hope someone else can address your specific issue. Patti
