I see that these players come from Japan, so will they play and record US format?

It will record on either one. The - discs a have to be finalized to play on other machines.

No, this comes ready to use. I have not had any problem with playing either UK or US dvd's. There are no adjustments needed and it works just great. Best purchase I've made in a long while.

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.

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.

No, only on the PS3, the PS3 isn't region locked so it'll play on an American PS3.

So my non-hd movies from other regions would be able to play on this player in the upconversions with no problem? Thanks for the info.

Yep it sure will. I just received it for that same purpose and was worried at first when I got it because it really is very vague about that point however when I played my DVD's from europe they played fine!

No idea. I didn't try US model. All the instructions are indeed in Japanese, but the English ones are available on Sony website. Had no problem with setup/connection whatsoever.

I'm not certain. I would download the converter from their website. If the converter works I assume it'll play.

It will play them, but only the 2 channel layer on the disc. You will need an SACD player to get the benefit of the SACD disc.

I don't remember other than reading the instructions which I think explained how to set it up. I've played several different formats without problem.

I don't believe a blank DVD has any regions format assigned from manufacturing, so they should be able to be recorded for any region. I have not had any trouble recording several different regions from the original DVDs.
