Can I use this player in Japan in good condition?

US version comes with 110V/60Hz external power supply. If you are using in a 50Hz region (hope Japan is 60Hz), have to change the driving pulley to a 50Hz one.

I don't see why not. The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon allows you to use it in countries that run on 110/120 or 230/240 Volt - 50 or 60 Hz

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

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly. These players are originally region one.

If it is a "gray market" item than there is NO warranty. There is no such thing as "valid in Japan" when you reside in U.S., period! If this item has U.S. warranty than there is a warranty, if this item has no U.S. warranty than THERE IS NO WARRANTY!

Yes, you definitely can. Buy the international version, and I'm sure it will work perfectly.

I'm not sure, but I've older versions of LG players that have been able to play PAL formatted DVD's. Meaning DVD's from the U.K.

I have the 3D V3 Viewer for Japan only. Only downside is the warranty is NOT valid outside Japan! I took my chances - hope I will never need that warranty. I use a power plug converter anyway since I live in Europe. The power plug converter is a tiny investment compared to the price of the V3 Viewer itself.

Depends, most cannot. These players are not very sophisticated. Go to a "pad" or netbook if want games as well as music, video, pictures, ebooks plus you can use the internet as well, r00t

Thank you very much, E. Soares - I appreciate the information you've provided, especially the link to the electronic copy of the player's manual. Although not the answer we would have liked to see, it's not at all a surprise, given the super-low price on this.If I may offer a little hint, I've had my eye on the Sherwood BDP-5004 - it's been verified by several reviewers on other Forums as being PAL/NTSC, Region-Free capable. It's the only Blu-Ray I've seen so far that has this important (to me, at least) capability. I play a lot of music DVDs that are from Europe, UK, Japan and Australia.It's about twice as expensive as this Sylvania, but the added abilities would be worth it.Thanks again!Leo Thank you very much, E.

I don't know. The player lasted a little over a year. It is now in a landfill somewhere. I would not recommend this product.

I've read people complain of this, but I cannot find where on the write ups this player says its multi-regional.Both the Sony website and the users manual say explicitly this player is only for region 1.

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. ;)

Have had mine for over 2 years and no problems yet. But then it might depend on how much you use the player? Mine doesn't really get used that much.

yes you can play in either country, however some music cd's have difficulty loading.

Maybe if you live in Asia. Email Sony directly. Everything in the box is in japanese.

I haven't used it enough to comment. However, I do not anticipate any problems. It is so good to have a multi-region player.
