Can anyone confirm that it does not break over time by playing multi-region DVDs?And which specific seller did you buy it from/what version?

I bought mine from amazon and so far so good on multi region use. Must say that long term use has not happened for me yet. Will get back to you on that.

This item works well so far. I use it to view movies from the United Kingdom only so far. I kept the box for travel purposes and when it is lent out. Checked amazon account history purchased to long ago for other info.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!

I found that you can get dozens of region-free players at www.world-import.com. I've been searching for one of those, since I have a lot of German DVDs as well as American ones

I have also had that problem but with only one Blu-ray set. An error message pops up saying that the disc can be played only on Region 2 players only. I can only suppose that this set was produced in such a way that it would not work on multi-region players. It is the only disc I have that does this. I have loads of Blu rays from the UK and these and all others from everywhere else play just fine.

I have both region 1 and 2 dvd's and they play ok. Just make sure that when you receive the box there is a 'region free' sticker on the outside.

Hi Alfonso, what do you mean by "does it reproduces"? Are you asking if it plays region 2 DVDs?

No, it does not. It only plays DVDs from the region where you buy the player. Source: personal experience :(

Thanks for your reply. I had equated NTSC or PAL with the region. So, if I want to play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, regardless of what region these discs are, I would need a player that can be set to region 0 = region free?

It plays all region dvd's but not blu ray's.I bought it because I have several dvd's from France that I wanted to play and they work fine. Hope that helps.Thanks

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

Amazon's site has a bit of confusion on this issue - many of the players will indicate NTSC/PAL compatible but what this means is that the dvd player has the ability to be connected to either a US or UK television not necessarily does this mean it will play a region 2 disk. If you want multi region player in order to play either region 1 dvds or region 2 dvds then I would recommend going with one that specifically indicates "region free" or "plays region 1,2,3,4,5....."

I am not sure about dvd's from other countries. I do know that it plays alot of formats, but am not sure of the format other countries use. Sorry I could not be of more help.

We found it played both Oz and UK DVDs but only some, it mostly failed to play both. Hope that helps.

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?

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

I have had mine for a few months now and I am very happy with it. The remote buttons are a little tricky, but I love being able to watch DVDs from any region.

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. ;)
