Will I be ale to use this product in Sweden to easily watch region 1 and 2 B-Ray DVDs. I believe televisions purchased in Sweden use the PAL format.

It is not Blue-Ray compatible, but does play Regions 1 and 2, which includes PAL format.

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?

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. -__-

Yes. After entering the region unlock sequence described in one of the reviews, I am able to view PAL region 2 DVDs in 1080i. (I don't yet have a 1080p display device, so I've not yet verified that personally.)

The manual that came in the box specifically says it won't play PAL, but my Region 2 DVDs are PAL, and they play beautifully.

Yes! We only use ours to play DVDs from Europe - it should work just fine :)

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.

Depends on where you buy it from. From PAL countries it will be PAL formatted, and from NTSC regions it will be NTSC.

Does anyone know whether it will convert PAL/NTSC DVD when using TV out and connecting to NTSC/PAL TV? The manual says, that the DVD has to match the TVs system, which would mean it won't convert.I need a player I can take oversees and hook up to a TV over there. It also would be nice to be able to do the same with PAL discs over here. So far from high end players I found only Pana LS91/97 which are close to that, but it requires service remote to unlock regions and is stil missing PAL->NTSC conversion.

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!

My suggestion would be to buy a Sherwood BDP-5004 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) which is a Momitsu 899 under the skin, and which, with a remote code, can be switched from BD A to BD B and to all regions of DVD, or any one region of DVD. Yes, the Brit BD player would be a problem because SD elements on a Region B BD are often SD PAL. Also some BDs are 1080i/50 Hz ("Super PAL") rather than the US 1080i/60 Hz. The Sherwood/Momitsu can be set for NTSC output through the HDMI cable and will play ANY European BD of any type. All for cheap. Buy two!

Sorry, I am not sure about the region B DVDs. I use it for region A Blu Ray and for all region standard DVDs.

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

Yes, unless you have an old analog TV. If your TV is new like in the last 15 years it should be fine.I have two Phillips multi region players on two different TV's, It has multi hook up options. I have over 200 region 2 dvd's no problems.

Actually, the stock Oppo BDP-95 and BDP-93 both contain NTSC/PAL conversion built-in, so you can watch either format disc at any time. The difference here is that you can play all regions of Blurays and DVD's on the player, at least if it does what is advertised. That's an aftermarket conversion - but one that should cost $100.00 or so, not nearly $300.00... You can find the all region BDP-95 for less money elsewhere, and the stock BDP-95 for $999.00 most anywhere, including direct from Oppo.

I have had no issues with playing any Bly-Ray or DVDs from any region... (so far). It's a great unit! Just wish the cords were longer.
