It is not Blue-Ray compatible, but does play Regions 1 and 2, which includes PAL format.

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

Does not play blu-ray. Just dvd and cd's. I just bought for the multi region capability and it fits my needs just fine. I dint want to spend a lot of money and I don't think Blu-Ray is all that much better then DVD. I think this was a good buy.

My unit plays all region DVDs. IT will play some Region 2 Blu-ray, but not other Region 2 Blu-ray. Anybody know why? Examples: it will play The Wicker Man region 2 Blu-ray, but not The Shout Region 2 Blu-ray. Please advise.

I have no idea what A/1 region blue rays are but if you go into any store and it says blue ray disc....it plays. Remember that most blue ray players can play regular dvds but non-blue ray players cannot.

Yes it will play all regions, but you have to select which region when you set it up. You are allowed to change regions up to five times only, then it will be fixed to the last selection.

The ones we sell are modified to support all region playback. It is guaranteed to play all three zone Blu-rays: A, B and C.

i don't think so - it's advertised as an all-region DVD player. Check with the vendor instead.

Yes - mine plays Region a, b, c and numeral regions 1 through 6. It plays BR discs, and is backward compatible with regular DVDs, although I have only played region A1 with non-blue ray.There is one playback element that I really don't like, and that is if you hit "stop" for any reason, it does not remember the disc location to resume. Otherwise, I love the machine. Picture quality is brilliant.

A US BR player can play region free PAL blu rays from uk/europe, but it cannot play PAL dvd's(non-HD) because standard definition is in NTSC for the US.

My suggestion would be to buy a Sherwood BDP-5004 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) which is a Momitsu 899 under the skin, and which, with a remote code, can be switched from BD A to BD B and to all regions of DVD, or any one region of DVD. Yes, the Brit BD player would be a problem because SD elements on a Region B BD are often SD PAL. Also some BDs are 1080i/50 Hz ("Super PAL") rather than the US 1080i/60 Hz. The Sherwood/Momitsu can be set for NTSC output through the HDMI cable and will play ANY European BD of any type. All for cheap. Buy two!

It definitely plays Region 2 also, but isn't a 'smart' DVD player to channel Instant videos and Netflix. Our TV does that but we also use a Roku for those services.

Yes, so far, I've played discs from Regions A and B. While the player automatically determines the region of any CD being played, it doesn't do that for blu rays. For these, one must turn off the unit, press either a "1" (for A), "2" (for B), or "3" (for C), then power on. No big deal.

The region will be A i.e 1 - but the DVD region will be universal, which means you will be able to play blue ray graded with "A" i.e 1 but all DVD's will work in the is unit.

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.

Tv isn't the issue as all you need to do is hook up bd player to any tv around the world with hdmi. This player can play dvds and be discs from any region. I've tried discs from Japan, Europe, and U.S.
