Is this really a multi region and code free dvd player? Also, I am interested in karaoke scoring and recording functions- do these work well?

I just put a dvd in and it plays it. I dont have to do anything to it. So no I do not have to chose a region code. It does it all by itself, put in the dvd and push play. I love it so far. I have dvds from America and from other Countries.

I'm not sure about region free. But the screen is very clear and BIG for a portable dvd player. Only problem, if you can call it a problem, is I would like the volume to go up a bit higher. Other than that, it's a great player and very easy to operate.

No, to my knowledge the player is not region free nor can it be modified to enable it to play other region DVDS Amazon sells a Yamaha multi region capable player that I have which is excellent but it is not a portable DVDS player.

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

Yes, it plays both file types. However, I would suggest you look further for an all region player. My experience with this was not good. The remote stopped working after only a couple of weeks of use. The player works, but without the remote it is very inconvenient. At least it was cheap.

No, it is Region One restricted. It will play Region 0 discs also, but not other regions.

So, is there a "special" DVD player just to play region 7 DVDs? What a bout the multiregion DVD players?

Probably not. This is a region 1 (North America) player. You can use a region-free player. Also, most computer DVD players are region-free, so you can try that.

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.

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!

you will find it hard getting a region free player in the US. There are some people out there that have ways to de-code them and I would love to know anyone who knows how to do it on this model.

Well, when I found my region-free DVD player it wasn't listed by the manufacturer, it was a member rating that stated it could be used as a code-free player. But thanks for the info on the price. Yes on the Panasonic website it's listed for $399.

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!

1. I found PAL listing in the set up menu so you change this using your remote control.2. I did not even need to make it region free to make it work for DVD's from other countries. Even if you need this the code is already posted by a reviewer on Amazon

Jason: Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks
