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

Yes, The answer that Carol the Dabbler gave you just might be what is wrong. Here is the ASIN Number for NON Region free [B00FF9SVWA] and the ASIN for Region Free [B00HM9TIS2]

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

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

I purchased this unit for my Grand son (lives in another state), so I no longer have the instruction booklet. However, when I purchased this unit, it was advertised a a "Multi-Region - PAL/NTSC Format Player" - so it "should" play Region 2 disc's (I believe all of Europe uses the PAL format). I have never played any other format other than the US Region, so I do NOT have first hand knowledge.

It's an international player, that means it can play ever region dvd's (setting 0) but you can set it to just one region also. I switched to setting 2 (description how-to below) after it won't run some dvd's (first issues after about 6 month on setting 0, some dvds might change the software and then several dvds started to stop/jump/don't run at all - it depends so much which dvd - some run some don't and you never know which one starts making trouble ... I changed the setting to region 2 just recently, so I cannot say, if this is a solution for that annoying issue: How-to change the setting: 1. NO dvd indside/ 2. Press setup (remote)/ 3. Press the down arrow three times until you see the "preference" page/ 4. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1/ 5. Press up/down key to select region (0= all regions - trouble?/ 1 USA/2 Europe, Japan, South Africa ...)/ 6. Turn off the player DONE!

Thank you, Paul! I have the disc and the "Quick Setup Guide", but don't seem able to play certain DVD's.

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

You should change the player region.To do that just follow the steps:1. Press SETUP2. Enter Code 13693. You will then see a menu where you can view the DVD region code and Blu Ray Region code.4. The DVD code is already set to 0, which means it will play ANY Region DVDs with no further changes.5. For Blu Ray. press 1 for region A, Press 2 for Region B and press 4 for Region C.6. Press SETUP so the settings will save. you can change them as you wish.7. You are done. Enjoy your DVD Player!

Apparently its a format issue. Any disc with BD-Java encoding will not resume. I like the higher res of bluray but hate pretty much everything else about the format. It is not consumer friendly in the least.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

Hi. I'm not sure? I live in The U.S.. I'm sure if you have a region 1 compatible dvd player it might work. Hope that helps.
