Question about multi-region DVD players?

Crazy Cupc

I want to buy one because I live in Australia so my region code is 4 but I want to buy DVDs from US because they're much cheaper but their region code is 1 so they wont work on my regular DVD player. I wanted to ask if multi-region DVD players are simple to use? Is it just a case of plugging them in and there you go you can watch R1 and R4 DVDs? Or is there more to it than that?

Answer
They're as easy to use as any other DVD player. But remember that DVDs from the USA are also NTSC format, not PAL format, so you *might* need a player that also can convert from NTSC to PAL (or a TV that can display NTSC input in addition to PAL input).

(NTSC and PAL were the two main video formats used for analog video transmission. NTSC mostly was used in the USA, PAL mostly in Europe. Even though DVDs are digital, they still had to play on analog TVs so NTSC and PAL DVDs are slightly different).

i really wanna get some dvd's off ebay.

Answer
I don't know where to buy a multi-regional dvd player, maybe you can try to make region free DVD from your region limit DVDs, then play the region free DVD on any region limit DVD player, you can try RZ DVD COPY, it can make region free DVD from region limit DVD, it can directly copy video DVD to new DVD writeable disc, to hard disk DVD folder, or to hard disk ISO file.

Work well, easy to use, you can download RZ DVD COPY from:

hope it can help you.

I want to be a multi-region DVD player so I can buy DVDs from Amazon because they only come in region 1 and Australia is region 4.

Answer
Find a player there's a DVD region free code for and buy that, There are various sites which list the code you have to enter to make the player region free such as http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks Really cheap never-heard-of-it-brand players tend to be region free but there's no guarantee and you really don't want to buy junk if you don't have to.

My daughter LOVES Summer Heights from Australia. I notice that the DVDs for sale say that you need a multi region player.

Answer
If your player does not, its very easy to make it region free. Its a one-time operation that only takes a few seconds.

Usually you simply need a 4 digit code that is typed in via the remote.

There are plenty of websites that give you step by step instructions and codes. Try this site:

I want to buy a DVD from australia on eBay but I'm not sure if it will work on my player.

Answer
An American TV is not PAL compatible. There is nothing you can do. Region codes can be overridden but not the TV hardware.
