Is the Region-free Panasonic BD 60 Legitimate? To play PAL DVDs you must have a PAL TV or Multi System TV) but i have a few questions first. 1) Is this legitimate?

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.

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.

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)

This device is multi-region for DVD out of the box. But it is not completely for BD as there is a Region Code Instructions set on a piece of paper. I tried it successfully on mine. - No disc inserted - Press "Setup" - Enter code "1369" - DVD code is set to 0 which means multi-region - Blu Ray code is 1 for region A, 2 for region B and 4 for region C - press "Setup" again to save If you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

This Panasonic unit only plays NTSC VGA tapes, DVD's, and Blu Ray discs. It can play media from a USB flash drive or SD card recorded in the NTSC system. Amazon offers a Panasonic unit that will play PAL/NTSC and convert for viewing in either direction. Search for "PAL/NTSC DVD Player."

I have a Philips 3960/37 and love it, because you can burn almost any video format to DVD and IT WILL PLAY IT! I have always over many years bought Philips DVD players because they ( the 3 i bought over the years starting in 2001 ) have always played almost any format DVD you put into it pirate or not. and every one i have bought you can easily Google and find the simple remote buttons to push to unlock the USA only region coding almost all DVD players have have. Yes they will play a PAL DVD's and it will work on a USA TV no problem. I have always bought Philips DVD plays because they are the best. Hope that helps you!

I did not get to try it out. I returned it because I could not play DVD's which were formatted in PAL (European) even though they were region free

I was told by Samsung that it would play region free blu Ray discs but it will not play discs that are region b. I think it was misleading. To be honest there are no region free blu ray players out there I have tried them all. Hopefully this answers your question.

As far I Know, both player models do play PAL discs since they convert it into NTSC --- you just need a NTSC TV set, a ubiquitous feature in any US television.

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.

All DVD players will play PAL and NTSC. That's not the same as "region free." Generally, you select either NTSC or PAL output in the setup. A PAL DVD would have to be region free for you to be able to play it.

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_codeIt 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 region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.
