Another DVD question
Hi
I know that this has probably been asked loads of times before, but I am too lazy to search for the answer.
Does anybody know why some of our region 2 DVDs play on our new DVD player and some don't, the instructions say that it should only play region 4 DVDs.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
A couple are multi region, but the majority are region 2 only, so I am a bit confused.

Re: Another DVD question
Very easy to resolve your problem, virtually all DVD players have the capability to be made all region, there is a different trick with each one, as to what you have to do to accomplish this. With ours we had to open the tray and press '0' 7 times, this then made ours all region. Simply type into any search engine "the make of your DVD player + make all region" and you will have an all region DVD player, a few minutes later.

Just saves the companies money as they don't have to print 2 different PAL regions.
