Is this unit region-specific?

Nope, the PS Vita is region free! If you decide to buy import games, you just have to use a seperate memory card; one per region.

No, it isn't. Game cartridges will work for it regardless of region, however if you're attempting to purchase, say Japanese games, via playstation network, you would need to have your PS Vita set for that specific region as well as create a PSN account for said region. You wouldn't be able to access the US PSN due to that. Unfortunately the PS Vita only supports one user, so you wouldn't be able to make the switch fluidly. It would require you resetting your Vita

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon. Hope that helps :-)

Yes, absolutely, it does both metric and english units. When you set up your user profile under one of the buttons just make sure to choose one or the other.The US is the only place in the world that uses English units all the time--even the English use metric--so a lot of machines have to made specificially for the American market to accommodate our special paper sizes and such, but these days most electronic diagnostic machines will accept both unless they're--sad, but true--made in the USA for the USA and thereby useless to the rest of the world.

Hi there , this model is region 1 only and to be honest we would recommend buying a Kenwood dnx system instead.Thank you.

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.

I never checked before, so I found this a helpful question to me also. It is not us/UK/ Europe.

Unfortunately no. The other reviews and the description are misleading. I was looking for an inexpensive region free player, that's why I bought this one. It will play DVDs in either format, NTSC or PAL. BUT, it will not play DVDs from other regions. And the review that gives the instructions on how to program it to be region free is completely inaccurate. It will not work. And if you go to the GPX site and look up this model, it tells you clearly that you can not program this unit to be region free. I wish I had checked prior to buying it. It is a decent player...just not region free, which I need.

Description indicates that the unit is region free and one answer to an earlier question indicated the responder played both region 1 and region 4 disks with no problems. I am currently waiting for seller to response to request for verification as to the unit being region free and will post when/if I get a response. I wanted to verify with seller as amazon site has confusing phrasing between a unit being region free (what you want) and units being NTSC/PAL compatible which would mean that the unit could be used with either a US or a UK television set ( US is NTSC and UK is PAL)

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.

Yes. Unit is capable of metric units. Setup instructions are very clear in the manual.

It is marked as a Region 4 player, but set up to work for "all" regions -- "0" through 6 are advertised, 7 & 8 are "special use" codes and may not be supported. The "all region" setting was likely done by someone other than SONY. Mine works well with Region 1 and Region 2 discs, and I've also tried it with "Region 0" PAL DVD's.

No the player is not "region free," or multi-region. Each individual unit has a region code on the back of the player. Since I live in the USA, and purchased my player in the USA, it is a Region 1 player. I believe Brazil is region 4. You will want to check with the retailer before purchasing.

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

It is not multi region out of the box, but there is an after market modification kit available to make it all region. Costs $149, I believe.
