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

bluraychip.dk says that DVD and BR will be regionfree, but what´s up with region coded CD / SACD ? will they be playable also? thanks for information... ;-)

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.

I only buy regions codes for my country, the USA. Any other regions will NOT play. That's why I always double check to see what code the DVD is in. I also do not buy many BluRay DVDs because the formats are sometimes annoyingly slow to function.

Hi Justin, I did not get to play my region 2 dvd's from the UK on it. I played region 4 , Australia, and USA regions and it was fine for those. If yours isn't playing region 2, or any region for that matter, I would call Samsung and find out why due to it being a multi region player. There # is 1800-726-7864. Hope your able to get better help that I did. Cheers Lesley.

We purchased 10 for a church to place in a variety of homes on Sunday afternoons to play the DVDs made of the Sunday worship service for home bound parishoners. When I read the specs I was surprised that it would play all regions, which to me and being in the A/V business for 30 years meant, yeah, it should play Korean DVDs, no problem.

Don't know what region code is on the disk, etc..., You may want to contact BeachBody and ask. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

Sorry. I just used this device tu burn data disks (25GB data) for backups. Is a good unit. In my knowledge, when you burn a disk for yourself, is region free.

No, these are ntsc north america disks. The pal disks are available from other dealers, but on amazon they have been sold out for some time.

I was skeptical, but good news... Dasa's post works! Thank you, Dasa! I was able to play my PAL region 2 DVD's no problem. I also appreciated all the extra accessories that came in the box with the dvd player, e.g. padded case, car adapter, component cables, thin remote. I'm glad I spent a little bit more than I would typically spend on a portable dvd 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.

Thank you very much, E. Soares - I appreciate the information you've provided, especially the link to the electronic copy of the player's manual. Although not the answer we would have liked to see, it's not at all a surprise, given the super-low price on this.If I may offer a little hint, I've had my eye on the Sherwood BDP-5004 - it's been verified by several reviewers on other Forums as being PAL/NTSC, Region-Free capable. It's the only Blu-Ray I've seen so far that has this important (to me, at least) capability. I play a lot of music DVDs that are from Europe, UK, Japan and Australia.It's about twice as expensive as this Sylvania, but the added abilities would be worth it.Thanks again!Leo Thank you very much, E.

xavier, I bought this DVD player because I saw it described on another site as being able to play all regions' DVDs. I was disappointed when I tried to watch a DVD from Japan, only to get the "incompatible disc region message". I called Pioneer for clarification and they said it is illegal for U.S. manufacturers to build DVD players that can play any region other than Region 1 (USA). So unfortunately, you will not find one built in this country (legally) that will be compatible with anything else. Additionally, I had the idea to just buy a Japanese DVD player, but after checking Amazon Japan, I think they said it's illegal for them to export DVD players to foreign countries. As far as "unlocking" regions, that would require installing a pirate chip, again illegally, and I don't even know if such a thing exists for this model of DVD player. So I guess I have to become a criminal if I want to watch DVDs unavailable in this country. Good to know our government is protecting us so thoroughly.
