answer unknown. My son has the player and uses DVD-r if that helps any. What are region 1 and region 2 dvd's?

Just Region 1 - for details, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region_1#Region_codes_and_countries.

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

no, it plays only dvd/cd of all region. for blue ray you need one all region.

Unfortunately this won't work with foreign DVDs - it will only play region 1 (USA) discs. I just saw some region-free players available here on Amazon. Consider those as they will play foreign discs. As for CDs, any DVD player will play them, even if you burned them yourself (the only ones that won't play burned CDs are really old players - all newer ones will without issues). Hope this helps - good luck with your selection!

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_code It 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!

Yes. I have played two Region 2 DVD's satisfactorily. My only complaint is that the aspect appears to be too wide for the height, and I have found no way to change this.

I bought this player to read region 2 PAL-format dvds from UK (as well as my region 1 NTSC-format discs from US). It can convert between PAL and NTSC formats - set it up with front panel buttons. See Appendix 6 "Additional Information" in the manual. There is a table that shows the 3 modes - NTSC (output is always NTSC, will convert PAL sources), or PAL (output is always PAL, converts NTSC source), or AUTO (does not convert, puts out program from source as-is.) Works OK for me. Does not require a TV that goes both ways, will work with PAL (European) or NTSC (US) scan rate source material.

I don't believe a blank DVD has any regions format assigned from manufacturing, so they should be able to be recorded for any region. I have not had any trouble recording several different regions from the original DVDs.

i don't think so - it's advertised as an all-region DVD player. Check with the vendor instead.

I played a region 2 DVD(UK) In The Machine The Other day and It Played Automatically With No Problem

No, this dvd player only plays US region 1 dvds. Europe is region 2.. if anyone finds a samsung dvd player that plays both region 1 and 2 please let me know! I still really enjoy this dvd player, it's awesome! I kept it, but I want another one with region 2 for my other tv ;)

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.

So far I have used Region 1 and 2 discs. No problems. It is a really great player. Very sharp pictures.

hi Debnow, the MAG-MDVD500 will world with discs marked as region 1 or all.

Sigurbjorn, I'm not sure. We've never had that question asked. VHS should play similarly, although DVD has copyright limits, and supports Region 1 only. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

sorry unable to help as I dont understand the question. I do know that the JVC Multi Region player is very simple to use as the machine recognises the dvd's and plays accordingly.
