Hi, unless a player is specifically designated as a "multi-region" DVD player, any unit sold in North America will be set to Region 1 playback only. However, there is usually a way to change the region code setting. For the Philips PET1002, do the following steps: 1. Switch the player on 2. Open the tray door, but leave it empty (without a DVD) 3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote control 4. Use the arrow keys on the remote to navigate to the "Preferences" page 5. Press the "OK" button (this will select "Audio") 6. Key in the following numbers: 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 5 7. Press the LEFT arrow 8. Press the DOWN arrow 9. When the region code is displayed, press "0" (for all regions playback), or whatever region number you want to set it to 10. Press "Setup" again to exit. I also have a lot of European DVDs - many great films or TV series never make it to the US - and I want to be able to watch them. This whole region code business is like spitting the customer in the face. Hope I could help you.

Wendy, you can play movie audio AND CDs with this player (properly set up you can also play movies from other parts of the world - most US DVD players are Region 1 (North America) only - with this you can use movies from ALL REGIONS, except Russia and affiliates - setup should be in one of my other posts, if you're interested.)

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

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

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.

Hi Alfonso, what do you mean by "does it reproduces"? Are you asking if it plays region 2 DVDs?

Yes. I have played two Region 2 DVD's satisfactorily. My only complaint is that the aspect appears to be too wide for the height, and I have found no way to change this.

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

Hi. I'm not sure? I live in The U.S.. I'm sure if you have a region 1 compatible dvd player it might work. Hope that helps.

All DVD's are coded by the manufacture prior to sale for one of several regions. Region 1 is NORTH AMERICA, region 2 is WESTERN EUROPE as examples this has to do with agreements made with various artists organizations to protect their financial interests. Most DVD players are made for one region only. This unit has software in it to bypass this protection for DVD's only, so you should be able to play DVD from anywhere. HOWEVER, when playing Blue ray disks it is region A only. Meaning only Blue Ray disks made for NORTH AMERICA can be played.

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.

It plays Region A Blu-rays and Region 1 DVDs and any disc, Blu-ray or DVD, that is designated "Region-free," "All Region" or "Region 0." It will not play Region B or C Blu-rays or Region 2-6 DVDs. It's also a "smart player," meaning it has access, via a wired ethernet connection, to a number of internet apps, such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video (a recent firmware upgrade), and Pandora. If your computer's home network is set up properly, you can also access media files (music, video, photos) on your computer's hard drive.

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. -__-

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this. I'm British and my wife lives in Arizona, so I got the DVD player so that we can watch Region 2 DVDs as well as Region 1 when I visit. We have never used it to play music on.

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).

Hi there - short answer is yes - just hook it up and it'll play any DVD - I play discs from both UK and US on my US TV and they work fine
