Does this dvd play dvds from Asia?

Hi, I've played reg. 2 (inc. Japan) , 3 (Asia), and 4 DVDs. The reg. 3 may have been DVD-Rs primarily. Note: Sometimes commercial DVDs have chips that prevent playing them in your laptop but they'll play in a multi-region DVD player or vice versa. So it's hard to make a complete generalization.I like this DVD player. A simple, plug and play that's given me no trouble. Good luck.

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.

Yes, it plays both file types. However, I would suggest you look further for an all region player. My experience with this was not good. The remote stopped working after only a couple of weeks of use. The player works, but without the remote it is very inconvenient. At least it was cheap.

Otto, The answer is yes for most but not all. go this site to check if your player is listed. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks I think region 0 is the setting for all regions. Good luck. EdCherif

It was my understanding that the DVDs were region sensitive not the players. But what do I know.

As far as i know you can use downloadable programs and software such as vlc media player which allows you to play a dvd regardless of the region.p.s Im not a computer wiz when it comes to dvds but im sure with a few minutes of research you can come up with your answer.VLC Media Player-( http://www.downloadster.org/lp/vlc-player/354/?_u=8lgn9qing2ajg83bhfvbh70bappahscpb17bum2a2ko2lp9rs331-28238245d0382006e38babdfc4b8d8f6 )

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.

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

I can attest to the US DVD format;yes plays all of them I'm sorry I don't know about Europe

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.

It definitely plays Region 2 also, but isn't a 'smart' DVD player to channel Instant videos and Netflix. Our TV does that but we also use a Roku for those services.

Yes it does. I've had this unit just over a year with no problems whatsoever. I've played DVDs from all regions-mostly Australia, Great Britain and US.

Yes, at least I can. And that's the reason for me to purchase it at the first place, and it plays "ALL" my Chinese DVD.s.

I have no idea as we're, unfortunately, in a broadband "gore", ie we can't stream anything! But for the ability to play multi-region DVD's, it's great, just what we bought it for!

No, it is Region One restricted. It will play Region 0 discs also, but not other regions.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this. I'm British and my wife lives in Arizona, so I got the DVD player so that we can watch Region 2 DVDs as well as Region 1 when I visit. We have never used it to play music on.

It plays dvds from my region. I.e. usually US DVD player won't play DVD bought in Europe. This machine goes to the root drive in the dvd and so pays dvd bought anywhere. It works for me as I what to play my Europe bought dvds (region 2) on a US powered DVD player (region 1). This dvd player doesn't discriminate where the DVD is from.
