The carton says Region 2, Europe. We need multi-region - 2,3 &amp; 4 - no worries about the plug. Has anyone been able to play a variety of DVD regions?

Not sure to be honest. I have only played 1 US DVD (from library) but all our DVDs from the UK worked perfectly. Sorry I can't be more help. Might find out after renting more DVDs in the US.

You can play any regular dvd / blue ray / 3d from different region with the same appliance. I'm italian and the european belong to a different region than american once. with this one I can play both region without any worry it's useful 'cause most american dvd have limited language option (english, spanish, french) european once also offer other languages like italian, german and more...

The only All Region I have is a PAL and it plays fine through the Apple's default DVD Player. It plays Blu-ray disc just fine. I have to use vlc player app for the Blu-Ray since I have an Apple system.

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.

This DVD player plays all regions. It gives you a crisp, clear perfect picture. I am very happy with it, I have this DVD on all three of my 55" LED TV's. Though it does play all regions, it will only play one at a time. Perhaps they sell multiple DVD players, I'm sure Amazon will let you know.Debra

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.

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon. Hope that helps :-)

Yes, I've tested the player and it does play region one and region two. I have not played any other regions (three or four).

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....."

PAL is European , right? The European DVDs will play, but NOT the blurays. It only plays blurays from the USA.

Strange, everywhere I've read states that Toshiba players are region free. I think the thing is with some euro discs is that they require you to use HDMI or they get downscaled to 480p. That's the only problem I've read about yet and it's only on some of them. Maybe that was the case and the T.V. was trying to do 1080i/p and wasn't prepared for it so it didn't allow a picture. Are you using component or HDMI?

Some "evil scientist", divided the world in regions to watch DVD's, I believe there are 7 regions, each one not compatible with the others,... Nice uh?... USA, Canada and Japan are # 1, Europe is # 2, and so on, check google and it will tell you. However there are players such earlier Philips models ( Divx capable ) that by entering a code with your remote, will convert your player to region 0, which is general, and plays everything. Why do it this way, it baffles me, evil, pure evil... Every movie you rent in the USA is supposed to be region # 1. Unless you are part of elite renters that ask for titles not available in the USA, or buy outside our country over the internet, in that case make sure your player can handle all regions... One word of caution, if you use your computer, in my case, Windows XP, home version, you can change your region to another and be able to play two regions but... the big but,,, it can be done only once, lets say you change the original #1 to #2, and then change to #3, you will be able to play 2 & 3, but 1 will not play and is not reversible ! Hope I helped you. Peter

I just put a dvd in and it plays it. I dont have to do anything to it. So no I do not have to chose a region code. It does it all by itself, put in the dvd and push play. I love it so far. I have dvds from America and from other Countries.
