Sony Multi Zone Region Free Blu Ray Player - PAL/NTSC Playback - Zone A B C - Region 1 2 3 4 5 6

After I got it set up, I put in the region-B movie I wanted to see, and I got the same"cant play this" message I got on my other player! I read the manual which said nothing about regions and I was disappointed. Then, when I was gathering everything to put back into the box, I saw an extra piece of paper in the box which was the instructions for using the multi-region option! After I read the instructions, they were very clear and the player worked perfectly and I was able to watch the movie. So, the player works as advertised, but only if you follow the directions on the extra piece of paper!

I was looking for a multi-region/region free Blu-Ray/DVD player. Ever since we went abroad and purchased Blu-Rays and DVDs from other regions, I needed a way to play all the new movies that we have purchased. I did purchase a Blu-Ray player hoping that it was programmable or can change regions as required, but it does not work that way. You will only be able to purchase a Blu-Ray/DVD player for the region you are in at the retail stores. So I went online to search for a multi-region/region free player, I did a few searches and found that this was the latest model because I did not need the extras as in wi-fi connection or anything like that. This player works really well and does the job.

A few weeks in and its working great! There is no detectable drop in visual quality/brightness that apparently comes with some region free players. Read the printed instruction paper the seller includes (not the original manufacturer instructions) right when you open the box! Will save a lot of head scratching. Ive come across only one oddity: the power button works to turn the player off, but not on. To turn it on, I have to use the "open disc tray" button. Not a big deal but a little funny.

I bought this to watch UK DVDs (region 2) and it works perfectly. It took less than 5 minutes to unpack and set up (it comes with an HDMI cable and the remote batteries are also included.) Both my parents and sister have the same model and also love it. Highly recommend! Update: I had some issues playing a UK Blu-ray DVD and contacted the company via the email on the enclosed paperwork. They were very responsive and solved my problem. In short, if you are having issues playing Blu-ray discs, first make sure the Quick Start menu is set to OFF. To play a Blu-ray disc, first remove all discs from the player and turn it off. This is important--turn the player OFF. Press the blue (or appropriate colored button) for region 2 and player should turn on. Insert Blu-ray disc and it should play.

2/10/17: Works for regular DVDs as well as Blu-ray disks. Plays my disks from the UK (region B), havent tested other regions. Comes with instructions for changing regions, automatically detects DVD regions 0-8. Came in its box, but I have a parcel locker so that didnt bother me (see pictures). The player is small, only a little bigger than a DVD/Blu-ray case (also see pictures). Comes with all the necessary cords, isnt wireless and isnt advertised as such (in reference to its internet connection capabilities). I love this thing thus far, and have had no difficulties using it or with any defects. I will edit this review should that change. I simply taped the instructions on top of the player.

This is the best DVD player! I like thats its multi-region so I dont have to worry about that when shopping for movies. I love that it has online capabilities and that I can watch my Amazon movies on it. I try to use it as much as I can because its fun to use. If you have ever accidentally ordered a movie that wasnt in the right region and been frustrated or in my case have a unique taste for foreign cinema, then you owe it to yourself to check out this DVD player. Its worth every penny.

Ive wanted to watch David Attenboroughs fine science and nature series for years but only had a standard Panasonic player. It worked very well except it would only play North American disks. I had a couple of spooky movies that were supposed to play too, but wouldnt. For Christmas I got this player and several Attenboroughs blu rays. I tried them all and the spookies too. Plays like a charm. And you just hit the audio button and it goes through a list of available languages so you can choose English. I only had one movie that wouldnt play English audio but it was because it wasnt available on that disk (Iranian made movie) but it had English subtitles and so was watchable. It has more stuff than I use. Ill have to check out the Apps later. Marvelous machine with a small footprint. I was able to reorganize my equipment easier since it takes up only half the space of the Panasonic. All players should be region free to stop the insanity. One other thing: it was super easy to program the remote so that it would also do the Vizio tvs volume, mute, and power features. It didnt list Vizio in its instructions but listed LG. All I had to do was hold down the red function button and the tv power button, both on the Sony remote, simultaneously for two seconds. Bingo! Done.

I am very impressed with my new Sony multi-region Blu-ray player. It plays every type of Blu-ray and DVD disc available, including the homemade DVD-RW-VR discs that I made with my Toshiba VCR/DVD recorder combo. It also plays the two Caterina Valente import DVDs that I own - Caterina Valente In Concert and Caterina Valente Live 1968 CD & DVD . it also plays the PAL DVD included in the CD/DVD release The Very Best Of Cilla Black . So, I finally ordered the Region 2 U.K./European version of Glenn Millers Sun Valley Serenade , which 20th Century-Fox has yet to issue in a standard U.S. DVD or Blu-ray version. There is also a Blu-ray version of the film, but its in Spanish ( Tu Seras Mi Marido , which translates into English as "You Will Be My Husband"), and probably has Spanish subtitles, and maybe a Spanish-language soundtrack. I also ordered The Beach Boys Pet Sounds (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) , mainly to get the Blu-ray audio disc. Ill still use the Toshiba unit to record stuff off of TV and as a backup DVD player, but my primary playback choice will be my new Blu-ray player, which is proudly connected to my Yamaha stereo receiver. The Blu-ray sound is marvelous. Five stars. Thanks, Sony!

Very happy with the product. I simply removed it from the box,plugged in the power cord, the HDMI cable, put in a disk and sat down to enjoy the movie! Nothing could be simpler, Im still waiting on the bluray and DVDs to arrive from the UK which was the reason I purchased it to begin with. If I experience any problems with them then Ill update my comment. Till then, its 5 star all the way! For all the reviewers complaining that it only has a US power cord and they purchased it to take abroad to watch US movies, just buy a plug adapter or a power cord for the country of destination which theyre going to. Both are readily available on Amazon or eBay.
