Sorry this thread has probably been done before but we are emigrating to Perth in April hopefully (just had our medicals). We are thinking of buying a panasonic recordable dvd player, which, after being on a few websites is an awful lot cheaper to buy in England than Australia. So does anybody know if a recordable dvd player (it will be multi region) will work in Australia with an Australian tv set?


Thanks

thanks for the quick response wr

Yes it should work as my friend has just advised. But make sure that the extended warranty on that gadget of yours (if u have got any) is valid in Australia. Also look for any fine prints/exclusions as far as country/zone is concerned!!
Cheers!

If there is a problem, U should be able to get it chipped easy enough

www.techtronics.com have a lot of information about making DVDs multi-region. Basically they say that making them 'region-less' through the remote control or firmware changes cannot be trusted and that you may still have problems with newer films.

For true multi-region DVD, they will chip the player. This will cost up to £100 but if you haven't bought your player already, they sell ready-chipped players for quite resonable prices. In my case, I may as well give my DVD player to my mum and buy a chipped one.
