Can it play DVDs for regions outside of the U.S?

as with any other drive, you have the option to change the region. However you have a limited lifetime numbers of changes (4). Thus, once you change it, you can't just go back and forth. There is some software to circumvent this issue (slysoft anydvd and others) and play any region DVD. see more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DVD_drives

Not really sure but It connects with a USB port & you should have an adapter for your country for the plug part

It means that any DVDs from any place in the world can play on them. If a DVD is made for Europe for example it will not play on an American player so a region free players will play any DVDs.

I haven't actually tried it on a non region 1 DVD player, but when I look at the package, on the back there is the symbol of a globe with "ALL" in it, instead of a globe with just a "1" in it, which seems to indicate that it should work in all regions.

No, to my knowledge the player is not region free nor can it be modified to enable it to play other region DVDSAmazon sells a Yamaha multi region capable player that I have which is excellent but it is not a portable DVDS player.

I'm not really sure because I only live in the one region of the United States. I do however have a couple discs from the UK and it seems to play them without a problem.

Yes, definitely. I bought it for my brother. Now he can play American and English DVD's. The machine automatically knows which type of DVD you insert. It saves you having to have two DVD players, one for each country.

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.

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).

It should. I bought this because it plays multi-regional DVDs. I don't know where my 'foreign' DVDs came from. They do play fine. You could call Orei. I think they're in Brooklyn, NY.

All I know, I can play DVD from both US and Indonesia. I tried with some other US DVD player and I cannot play any Indonesia DVD (somebody told me, most of US DVD Player can only read NTSC, while mine most likely is PAL) So I just drew conclusion, it should be compatible with any type of DVD

As far as i know you can use downloadable programs and software such as vlc media player which allows you to play a dvd regardless of the region.p.s Im not a computer wiz when it comes to dvds but im sure with a few minutes of research you can come up with your answer.VLC Media Player-( http://www.downloadster.org/lp/vlc-player/354/?_u=8lgn9qing2ajg83bhfvbh70bappahscpb17bum2a2ko2lp9rs331-28238245d0382006e38babdfc4b8d8f6 )

Yes, practically all regions once you set it up. My main need is for European and USA dvds. I travel on vacations and like to buy dvd with visuals of the country travelled in addition to my own photos. It works well for me with my Samsung Smart TV. The set up was done by a audio visual professional.

It's for all regions. I bought it so I could play dvds from Europe, which I believe are Region 2.

Yes it does. I've had this unit just over a year with no problems whatsoever. I've played DVDs from all regions-mostly Australia, Great Britain and US.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!

Yes! We only use ours to play DVDs from Europe - it should work just fine :)

the media format says NTSC and PAL so I assume yes but the manual says that the region code is printed on the bottom of the DVD player and will only play discs from that region. It says Region 1. -__-
