Multi-region DVD player?

Sat 18 Mar 2023, 21:58

It's just for a one-off so probably don't need a new DVD player but thank you for the offer Valerie. 

Charlie, the model number of my Panasonic player is DMP-BD79.

Richard, the film I want to watch is just a DVD, not a Blu-ray, so will be in touch!

Many thanks everyone...

Hello Matther,

I've got one that you can have, for keeps, provided that you remove the DVD that's stuck in it. I gather that this is a pretty easy task (I asked the forum once) but I took the coward's way out and bought a new one.  The one I'm offering was bought about four years ago.  

Sing out if you'd like it.

Matthew, if you  leave the model number of your machine here, I will have a look myself (if you are happy to do so).

I have a multi-region DVD player but it is for ordinary DVDs, not blu-ray. Contact me through the web site.

Charlie, many thanks for that info and the link. I tried a few suggestions recommended for my old Panansonic Blu Ray player but sadly they didn't work. Thanks again for the help though.

Matthew, most DVD players can be made to play all regions; it normally requires a sequence of the control buttons. It's worth checking out your make and model number on the 'net. Here is a typical site:

I stupidly bought a DVD of an old film that won't work in our DVD player because the DVD is for another region (region one I believe). Does anyone have a multi-region DVD player that they are willing to lend for a couple of hours? Many thanks in advance...
