Does this BDP-150 play DVD and Blu-Ray disks from any region and PAL/NTSC without additional hardware?

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean. At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

According to the operating instructions that came with the player, the BD-ROM region is A, and the DVD region is 1, so I believe it will not play any disk. I hope this answers the question.

Mine will play most dvd's. I've noticed that it will not play foreign made dvd's regardless of whether they are region 1 or region 0.

I do not have a Europian blue ray. But it shows Asian and Europian DVDs I have. Most probably it's the same with blue rays.

Yes , it has both, you can play any DVD/Blue Ray Disc or even Divx, and same apply to the USB port, where you can play mostly any kind of files

This dvd player will not play a Pal BD disk or any Pal DVD for that matter. Gus K is wrong about no Pal Blu-ray. Just check Blu-rays at Amazon UK.

Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD

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.

All DVD players will play PAL and NTSC. That's not the same as "region free." Generally, you select either NTSC or PAL output in the setup. A PAL DVD would have to be region free for you to be able to play it.

Actually, the stock Oppo BDP-95 and BDP-93 both contain NTSC/PAL conversion built-in, so you can watch either format disc at any time. The difference here is that you can play all regions of Blurays and DVD's on the player, at least if it does what is advertised. That's an aftermarket conversion - but one that should cost $100.00 or so, not nearly $300.00... You can find the all region BDP-95 for less money elsewhere, and the stock BDP-95 for $999.00 most anywhere, including direct from Oppo.

Yes it Does Play PAL discs, BUT, they have to be ALL region or region A/1. Same with DVD's, if they are all region PAL, it WILL play it.gerard masters

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.

Yes, this player will play DVD's from all regions, AND Blu Rays from all zones! Plus, it can connect to the internet wirelessly!

Hello. I bought this whilst working in the US, to play both NTSC & PAL region dvd's through my Macbook Pro. It worked! Hope this helps.

The Samsung BDF-5700 is multi-region blu-ray DVD player and works well for me, playing my DVDs from Germany. That's not what is listed in the description BD-5700 or BD-5700E.

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

No will not play region B Blu Rays from the uk but will play normal dvds from the UK and Europe region 2 discs.

Peter, can you share names / websites of these independent sellers of blu-ray disc players? I'd like a blu-ray disc player that plays PAL and NTSC blu-ray and DVD discs from all regions (if such players are available). Thank you.
