If region is an issue for your collection, you can check out hacks like this to make your player region free: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bd65/10861 (similar model)I have tried this hack with a couple of Panasonic DVD / BD players with success to make DVD into region free.But, for some reason, I couldn't hack with DMP-BD75.when the power to the unit is turned on, home screen appears. when pressing 1, 2, 3, ..9 the first press 1, it recognize as OK button or something. anyway, maybe this BD can not be hacked.

No. Many Blu-rays are NOT region encoded; you can check yours to see if they have an A/B/C designation. If not, you are good to go on Blu-ray.If region is an issue for your collection, you can check out hacks like this to make your player region free: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bd65/10861 (similar model)If you have DVDs you want to play back, you will run into PAL (Europe) vs NTSC (US) issues even if you apply a region code hack like this. You would have to search for a firmware hack to play PAL DVDs.

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.

yes, the dvd player is region free right out of the box - will play any region and I have personally used the player to play both UK (region 2) and US (region 1) dvds. The unit handles going from region 2 to region 1 and back to region 2 with absolutely no hesitation. The unit is also PAL/NTSC compatible which means something completely different - if you have a UK purchased television it is in PAL format while a US television is in NTSC format - this unit can be connected to either US or UK television and the image will display correctly. The plug that is with the unit is a US plug.

Nope. This is a single disk player. It's a great player if you are looking for multi region player

You should change the player region.To do that just follow the steps:1. Press SETUP2. Enter Code 13693. You will then see a menu where you can view the DVD region code and Blu Ray Region code.4. The DVD code is already set to 0, which means it will play ANY Region DVDs with no further changes.5. For Blu Ray. press 1 for region A, Press 2 for Region B and press 4 for Region C.6. Press SETUP so the settings will save. you can change them as you wish.7. You are done. Enjoy your DVD Player!

I've read people complain of this, but I cannot find where on the write ups this player says its multi-regional.Both the Sony website and the users manual say explicitly this player is only for region 1.

No will not play region B Blu Rays from the uk but will play normal dvds from the UK and Europe region 2 discs.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly. These players are originally region one.

Mathew, To change Blu-ray regions, turn the player on and remove any discs. Press home to go to setup menu, then press 8, 5, 2, 0 to get to the factory settings. Select BD region code and press 1, 2, or 3 for regions A, B, or C, then exit with the Home button. This has to be done whenever you use Blu-Ray discs from different zones. DVD's should already have region 0 selected so you can play any of them without doing anything. I have lots of region 2 DVD's from the UK, and even a Mike Oldfield concert encoded for regions 3, 4, and 6 which I just stick them in and play them anytime. It's a great little player. I love mine, and I think you will too once you get familiar with it. It even has features many big name brand machines don't offer, like multi-speed slo-mo and A-B repeat. Enjoy, Woody

A US BR player can play region free PAL blu rays from uk/europe, but it cannot play PAL dvd's(non-HD) because standard definition is in NTSC for the US.

Yes. It plays all DVDs right out of the box no settings need to be set. Blu rays are a little different. You have to choose one area and then it only plays that area. To change to a different region you have to reset the player to that region. Instructions are included with the player. Hope this helps you.

Thanks Marla. It's just that import-world.com advertised a Panasonic Blu-Ray player that they claim (and guarantee) to be region free - but that might be misleading as it may be region free for DVDs and not Blu-Rays. I will have to call them to make sure. Thanks.

The only All Region I have is a PAL and it plays fine through the Apple's default DVD Player. It plays Blu-ray disc just fine. I have to use vlc player app for the Blu-Ray since I have an Apple system.

Hi there,What a multi regional player does is it allows you to watch any movie, from any region. The coding is built into the player to allow no restrictions. It is not a feature you choose. The disc should play in these players no matter the region. I hope this was helpful

Region free is a code for Blu-rays and DVDs. Ranging from A/B/C/FREE for Blu-ray and 1/2/3/4/5/6/0 for DVD, this is the designated code for each region of the world. Region Free or Region 0 is a version that is not locked to any particular region and will typically play on any player worldwide. If you're looking for the biggest supplier for region free titles in the U.S you can check out scyllar.com they offering free shipping, no tax and have a huge selection of titles including region free imports.

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.
