The product on Amazon was advertised as an “all region” DVD player. It is not. There are six regions. The back of the unit I received shows that it plays region 1 DVDs only (ref. page 22 of the manual which explains how to determine which regions the product will play – there is a sticker on the back of the player.) I inserted a DVD from Poland (region 2), and the player displayed the error message “wrong region” and would not play it. That being said, it will play foreign DVDs marked “all”. I decided to keep the player because most DVDs I have and buy are either region 1 or “all”, and the quality of this player is very good. The sound and picture are excellent, and it is easy to use. If you are looking for a DVD player that will play regions 1-6 and those marked “all”, this product is not going to deliver.

This will NOT play PAL DVDs. I bought it specifically to do that and it will NOT play PAL discs. All you get is a region error code. It makes me wonder if Amazon actually checks the info it puts up about products.

I have had this DVD player now for about 1 month have have used it pretty regular since and seems to be very good so far. Easy setup for programming it to be region free. I have no problem playing DVDs from the US and the UK. Excellent picture quality and have absolutely no issues or problems. Very good player.

My experience was mixed.
The first machine the company sent me did not work. So I sent it back. The second machine they sent me also did not work. By this stage I was pretty frustrated. In addition, the customer service I received up to this stage was poor. It was only at this point that the company stepped into overdrive to get me a working machine. The third one they sent me now works – and I am happy with it.
