Will this play DVDs from a different region? Region 2 to be specific.

I've only been using the Rosewill in the US so that I don't have direct experience. Also, I'm using it on a Windows laptop. From what I understand from web searches, it is possible to use software to adjust to different regions. The regions are set up differently for Blu-ray discs compared to DVD's. It would take further searching to see whether this would complicate the use of the software. Nevertheless, it appears to be doable using software which is downloadable.

Yes, that is a software issue as ths does not have a buit in DVD Player. Your PC DVD software player handles this issue. THey player will play any DVD's.

You have to set a region first (which I don't want to do) because the drive comes region-free (with firmware level RPC-2). As is, I have tried playing a Region 2 DVD from Japan using MPC HC, VLC and Power DVD 10 and only MPC was able to open the disk but the image was heavily pixelized and it eventually crashed.

I do not have the drive with me, but I believe that. Windows allows you to set the region on all DVD drives up to 5 times

The player is not tied to a particular region. That is set by your operating system when reading the drive. You should be able to open the drive properties and set the region. I'm talking about Windows systems here. I don't know how Apple deals with this.

It was my understanding that the DVDs were region sensitive not the players. But what do I know.

So far it has played my region 2 dvds. The picture isn't quiet the quality as my US dvds, but it does work, and worked out of the box. Didn't need to tweak it at all.

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.

the media format says NTSC and PAL so I assume yes but the manual says that the region code is printed on the bottom of the DVD player and will only play discs from that region. It says Region 1. -__-

Diana,Did you get it to play foreign dvd's on it or did you find a player that plays dvd's other than region 1?Thanks.

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.

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

Unfortunately no. The other reviews and the description are misleading. I was looking for an inexpensive region free player, that's why I bought this one. It will play DVDs in either format, NTSC or PAL. BUT, it will not play DVDs from other regions. And the review that gives the instructions on how to program it to be region free is completely inaccurate. It will not work. And if you go to the GPX site and look up this model, it tells you clearly that you can not program this unit to be region free. I wish I had checked prior to buying it. It is a decent player...just not region free, which I need.

I don't know. I have only used Region 1. I believe the software handles this, like regular DVD's.

Hi Alfonso, what do you mean by "does it reproduces"? Are you asking if it plays region 2 DVDs?

Hi. I'm not sure? I live in The U.S.. I'm sure if you have a region 1 compatible dvd player it might work. Hope that helps.

My region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.

Thank you for your interest in our products. As long as you have the correct software to play those different region it will work.

Hi Rebecca -- I'm an owner, but not an expert. A quick Google search on "region 1 DVDs" took me to the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_codeIt looks like this Panasonic player will play Region 1 DVDs, assuming you purchased it in the USA, Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, or US Territories.I do not know if Panasonic (or anyone else) offers codes for playing other regions. Hope this helps!

I am not sure about dvd's from other countries. I do know that it plays alot of formats, but am not sure of the format other countries use. Sorry I could not be of more help.
