No it's not (unless some knows how to reprogram it) - we tried one of our UK DVDs on it - no go. Fortunately we have a separate a Philips all-zone player. Bought this one only for the Netflix wi-fi connxtion, for which it works fine

Unlike HD DVD (who has no region code whatsoever for HD DVD discs), Blu-ray is also region-coded. The same thing applies to their playing of DVD discs. DVDs have region coding. So all hi-def players who support DVD must obey the region coding policies.

I always thought a Blue Ray player was different from a DVD player. Don't have any blue ray discs so wouldn't know. Sorry can't help you further. But it does play British and U.S. DVD's.

As far as I know, you can make it all-region for DVD's ONLY. For blu-ray discs, you can't do anything.

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....."

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. ;)

No, it's not a BluRay player, but it is 'multi-region'. Search Amazon for BluRay players if that'swhat you need.

No, this unit is not a region free unit and it will only play region 1 DVDs.

This device is multi-region for DVD out of the box. But it is not completely for BD as there is a Region Code Instructions set on a piece of paper. I tried it successfully on mine. - No disc inserted - Press "Setup" - Enter code "1369" - DVD code is set to 0 which means multi-region - Blu Ray code is 1 for region A, 2 for region B and 4 for region C - press "Setup" again to save If you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

Yes, so far, I've played discs from Regions A and B. While the player automatically determines the region of any CD being played, it doesn't do that for blu rays. For these, one must turn off the unit, press either a "1" (for A), "2" (for B), or "3" (for C), then power on. No big deal.

answer unknown. My son has the player and uses DVD-r if that helps any. What are region 1 and region 2 dvd's?

I believe it is a multi region player but as it broke after 3 uses and the warranty was only 90 days it is hard to answer for sure. I would not recommend buying this item.

For standard DVD's there is no need to change the region setting. In this unit it is automatically detected from the media. For Blu-Ray disks, it must be set. The unit ships with a piece of paper included in the packaging (at least mine did) that states the sequence to enter into the remote at start-up to access the factory settings menu and make the assignment.

Does not play blu-ray. Just dvd and cd's. I just bought for the multi region capability and it fits my needs just fine. I dint want to spend a lot of money and I don't think Blu-Ray is all that much better then DVD. I think this was a good buy.

Yes, this player is region free and plays both DVDs and Blu-ray discs from any country. You don't have to make or change any settings. You simply insert the disc from any country and it will play the dvds or discs from any country on any TV.
