Multi-Region DVD Player with Zone-Free Playback Capabilities

Raymond May: Bought some box sets, but unfortunately they were a different region. My player wouldn't play them. Was skeptical buying a Multi Region dv.d. Player. Went through a lot of reviews till I came across this one. Received it, It came with everything you need to hook it up, including R.C.A jacks, HDMI Cable even had batteries for the remote. Hooked it up with the HDMI cable, and hoped for the best. Put my d.v.d into the unit, and it worked perfectly. The instructions are a little vague but I have had plenty of experience with electronics. Thank You Amazon. Totally happy with my purchase. Buying a blu-ray player next. And yes will definitely be purchasing it from Amazon.

Joseph Covino Jr.: Extremely TIRED of Amazon's ambiguous, vague, and misleading postings poorly identifying DVDs for sale from certain regions that won't play on American DVD players, we bought this excellent Philips multi-region DVD player that ideally lives up to its claim that it plays DVDs FROM any region IN any region in the world! And it don't like, neither, we're more than pleased and happy to report! A great traditional American brand and former maker of much missed Magnavox products, we heartily endorse and support this wonderful DVD player, cheap at the price! Our only gripe is the pretty teeny-tiny remote control with its teeny-tiny buttons! Other than that, BRAVO Philips!

Amazon Customer: This was a great, easy to use player, that worked perfectly for about 4.5 months and just suddenly sopped working completely. Fortunately, the vendor Bombay Electronics consented to replace it immediately. Hopefully the next one will perform as well and work at least a year or two.

Lioness_DeWinter: This is a nice little DVD player. It does all that is promised in the description. How nice to see all of my PAL DVDs again! My taste in movies is a bit eclectic, and I find being limited to only NTSC formatted films a bit confining. I had an earlier version of this Philips DVD player and it lasted me nearly 8 years. I was so happy to find this newer, lightweight and compact version. I can fit my cable box, my VCR and the DVD player on one shelf. The remote control could be better (be sure to check your manual for how to see the timer--there is no visible timer window on the front of the unit), but overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. For fellow Japanese rock fans, this unit will play the PAL format DVDs that come with the CDs!

Ginny: Despite my efforts to determine if this would enable me to watch British (PAL format) movies on my computer, the information on line (and in the owner's instructions) is singularly unhelpful. I spent over an hour of frustration conversing with several tech support people in the Philippines who were in the dark but were able to determine that there is no way to use this with a computer. I do not own a TV, nor shall I ever own one (I am 75 years old and don't wish to own one or a lot of other techie gear) so the inability to use that as a work around is a major disappointment. The description does mention something about using a USB drive but even with a USB cable to the computer it doesn't work, and won't work. So I'm out about $60. More frustrating, however, is that I still can't watch much loved British movies. I understand the rationale behind coding but for a laptop computer -- by its nature designed to travel -- the system is absurd, frustrating and counter productive. I can switch several the coding on the computer several times (presumably only a laptop) but why should I have to? It doesn't prevent pirating of movies or programs...in fact, pirates probably have the films...
