dvd player multi region.

[Starry]

have had more beer than i probasbly should have today and had an accident with a dvd player. which must be replaced before mrs starry finds out.

she wont notice that its a new player as long as it works and does what the old one did.

can some one tell me is this dvd player
http://www.johnlewis.com/Technology...Viewing/DVD+Players/73/230423054/Product.aspx

is region free or whatever. if i want to play a dvd from america and one from here will it work on this machine? i cant work it out. i haev read on several sights but why they dont have a AMERICAN DVD yes EN|GLAND DVD yes tyupe checklist i will never know. dont want a recorder one. just a basic player that will play dvds from anywhere.

if not can someone point me in the direction of one that will do so. (preferably on the john lewis site if they do one - longer story why)

thanks.

Doesn't seem to be? Just says it plays different format disks - not regional variations..

Have a look here it distinctly states if its multi region:

Very unlikely John Lewis will sell a DVD player that is multi-region out of the box.

 

[who me?]

all the sony dvd players on that site appear to have the same hacking sequence so your model probably is convertable

 

[Starry]

ok thanks. i will just from tedebears list and pick the first that comes up with yes for multiregion i guess.

ta.

 

[who me?]

cheap dvd players are more likely to be multi region as standard but only the really expensive are unhackable

do you have a recommendation for a player? doesn't need to do anything apart from be region free.

We're getting the Panasonic DVDS53EBKMR (£90) which is on the third page of the link I gave you - we've not got it yet though so I can't report - being delivered on Monday. We play Australian, US and Uk DVDs through our playstation at the moment.

 

[Starry]

We've now hacked three different dvd players with this site. Buy what you like, and then hack it!
