Yes, practically all regions once you set it up. My main need is for European and USA dvds. I travel on vacations and like to buy dvd with visuals of the country travelled in addition to my own photos. It works well for me with my Samsung Smart TV. The set up was done by a audio visual professional.

It is described as being able to. It will play ones from Great Britian which is why I bought it. I have not had occasion to travel to other parts of the world.

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.

My unit plays all region DVDs. IT will play some Region 2 Blu-ray, but not other Region 2 Blu-ray. Anybody know why? Examples: it will play The Wicker Man region 2 Blu-ray, but not The Shout Region 2 Blu-ray. Please advise.

Yes it plays, you 5 choices to change the region settings. otherwise, if you need to keep switching the regions, you can buy a software like BluFab 9 or AnyDVD HD, so you can play any region after that.

This dvd player will not play a Pal BD disk or any Pal DVD for that matter. Gus K is wrong about no Pal Blu-ray. Just check Blu-rays at Amazon UK.

I don't use it to play Blu Ray discs but I believe if you get a decent video application that it will play Blu Ray discs.

According to the operating instructions that came with the player, the BD-ROM region is A, and the DVD region is 1, so I believe it will not play any disk. I hope this answers the question.

It plays my DVDs from US and Europe. However, since I am using windows I still needed to set a region code for the drive. You need a software like AnyDVD to overcome the Reagion Code issue.

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

It should be able to, it reads everything thats below a Blu-ray disc. This type of drive is just really advanced DVD drive.

Yes, so far, I've played discs from Regions A and B. While the player automatically determines the region of any CD being played, it doesn't do that for blu rays. For these, one must turn off the unit, press either a "1" (for A), "2" (for B), or "3" (for C), then power on. No big deal.

You will be able to run any install cd or dvd as it is plug and play. If you want to play blu-ray though, you will need to buy a separate player.

Tv isn't the issue as all you need to do is hook up bd player to any tv around the world with hdmi. This player can play dvds and be discs from any region. I've tried discs from Japan, Europe, and U.S.

It should. I bought this because it plays multi-regional DVDs. I don't know where my 'foreign' DVDs came from. They do play fine. You could call Orei. I think they're in Brooklyn, NY.

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

Yes, it does. In fact, all blu-ray players are backward compatible so it can play your regular DVDs and even upscale them which improves the quality over standard dvd players. Blu-ray players also play many kind of formats such as music CDs, mp3 CDs, jpg. CDs and several more. Streaming ability of services like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc. is actually why most people buy such systems. In other words, you get much more than just blu-ray capability...

Absolutely. It plays any DVD Blue Ray or regular. It also will play Music cds and, if you would be so inclined, will read a disc with pictures and allow you to show them on your TV. It will also allow you to acccess the internet if you have a WiFi modem. If you like you can stream movies from Netflix or Amazon it you are a member. Great piece of equipment!

It will play pretty much any type of media disc, including 3D Blu-ray. If you want to write data to a disc, here are the supported formats: Blu-ray: BD-R, BD-R DL, BD-R LTH, BD-RE, BD-RE DL DVD: DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RW CD: CD-R, CD-RW

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.
