I have owned this player for quite a while and it is perfect for my needs as I buy a lot of foreign films. My question is will it play region 4 DVDs?

I have no idea, and I don't know shat Region 4 DVDs are? Sorry, maybe contact Pioneee or google it, sorry.

So, is there a "special" DVD player just to play region 7 DVDs? What a bout the multiregion DVD players?

Probably not. This is a region 1 (North America) player. You can use a region-free player. Also, most computer DVD players are region-free, so you can try that.

Yes, you can connect & see DVDs from different regions if your Player is multi- system. For me, I get DVDs even from over seas & played with no problem except few DVD. My other suggestion is, you can directly insert the DVDS & play. The time you posted this question, I tried to connect with two players. One in A/V & the other with HDMI & both works fine. Hope it helps.

No it cannot; however, several years ago I found instructions on "programming" the DVD player to accept and play "all" types of DVD's. I've purchased a couple DVD's that are not available ("Intruders" being one of those & "Girl with the Golden Earring") in America and they play just fine. I didn't keep the instructions, BUT, if you search in the Movies/DVD's categories, you'll probably find them where certain DVD's are listed. Sorry that's the best I can do with information regarding this. You'll find that reprogramming the settings to accept all Region DVD's is fairly easy.

I have both region 1 and 2 dvd's and they play ok. Just make sure that when you receive the box there is a 'region free' sticker on the outside.

I have only played region 2 DVDs.. I have never tried region 1, but I think they should play on it.

Hi Rebecca -- I'm an owner, but not an expert. A quick Google search on "region 1 DVDs" took me to the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code It looks like this Panasonic player will play Region 1 DVDs, assuming you purchased it in the USA, Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, or US Territories. I do not know if Panasonic (or anyone else) offers codes for playing other regions. Hope this helps!

yes, the dvd player is region free right out of the box - will play any region and I have personally used the player to play both UK (region 2) and US (region 1) dvds. The unit handles going from region 2 to region 1 and back to region 2 with absolutely no hesitation. The unit is also PAL/NTSC compatible which means something completely different - if you have a UK purchased television it is in PAL format while a US television is in NTSC format - this unit can be connected to either US or UK television and the image will display correctly. The plug that is with the unit is a US plug.

Just tried it with a Region 2 DVD. It will play it, but the output on mine is set to be NTSC and my television will not read the PAL signal. I could hear the music that play on the menu, but there was no picture and an error message informing me the signal was incorrect appeared. This does not automatically convert the signal to NTSC. You would be better off buying a dedicated region free player for playback and use this for the HDD.

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.

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. -__-

It accepts all Blu-Ray regions. You need to look in the user manual to switch the Blu-Ray Region manually. It switches automatically for DVDs. So yes it play region B but you need to switch it manually.

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 was told by Samsung that it would play region free blu Ray discs but it will not play discs that are region b. I think it was misleading. To be honest there are no region free blu ray players out there I have tried them all. Hopefully this answers your question.

Yes it does. It will play Pal also. I haven't played any other region DVDs. There are instructions for other regions but I haven't used that option. Nice player. Hope this helps !!!

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems
