Does it detect and play all region discs automatically or it needs codes to be entered each time a disc of a different region is inserted.

Dear S Mitra, my unit (BDX1400) will NOT play european (PAL) DVDs. It ejects them with the message "Wrong Region"Am I doing something wrong? How do you make it work?

It detects all region discs automatically. It is truly a great and reliable machine. You literally just have to put in a DVD and watch

I can tell that I play without any problem the US market Bluray media as well as some I have imported from Italy. Pay attention to a paper that is inside the box, with the instruction on how to activate the areas - click 1 for zone 1, 2 for zone 2 etc.

Got this from VDO Help but not verify yet:- Turn On the unit with the remote controller Wait until "no disc" appears in the unit's display Press Pause, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9 The word "CODE" should appear in the display Within five seconds, press the key that corresponds to the zone you want i.e. 0 for region free, 1 for region 1, 2 for region 2 and so on Again, within 5 seconds, press Pause and Power Please post your result whether this really work.

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. ;)

I checked the manual'a guide and I didn't see anything regarding DVD regional coding. However, most electronics/ DVD players (including ASUS) are set usually to 1 (USA and Canada) region and CAN be changed but mind you only a limited amount of times (up to 4 times I believe).

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 saveIf you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

I haven't actually tried it on a non region 1 DVD player, but when I look at the package, on the back there is the symbol of a globe with "ALL" in it, instead of a globe with just a "1" in it, which seems to indicate that it should work in all regions.

This unit claims to play all regions. I personally have played American and Chinese DVD's and BluRay's; therefore I am sure it will play UK too. It is a very fine machine that I highly recommend.

Upon first plugging the player into my computer, I was asked to choose a region, and was told that I could change the region up to 5 times. So it will play disks from all regions, but you'll want to be careful how often you switch back and forth, as upon the fifth change, you'll be stuck with that region permanently (apparently).

Yes, it does, easily. Mine came today and I used this hack:1.Switch on the DVD player without a DVD2.Open the disc cover and keep open. The screen should say "OPEN"3.Digit 1379 on the remote control. Do this step quickly so all four asterisks appear in a row right under the word "OPEN". There should be four. If you go too slowly, some will disappear and then you have to shut the machine off and restart.4.Once the **** disappears, type "0" for all region.5.The system will show you a message about region free dvd.6.Enjoy!

There is no such thing as a region on a blank disc they are made for everyone that needs to store data or personal stuff. so the answer is yes, they can be played everywhere, the only other thing is make sure your dvd burner can burn +/- depending which ever dvd's you buy

It appears to be an automatic thing. I have played UK and US region DVDs with no effort on my part.

no, it plays only dvd/cd of all region. for blue ray you need one all region.

DVDs are "region" formatted. Region = playback coding for a dvd. 1) you need a universal dvd player OR 2) assuming you live in the USA, you need a region 1 coding dvd. Total of 8 dvd "region".... R1: USA/Canada. R2: Japan, part of Europe, etc...

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

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.

Yes it will. Keep in mind, however that, unlike all-region DVD players, you must set the region each time. You can't just put the Blu-Ray disc in an expect it to play. The product includes instructions for doing this.
