Anyone got a region free DVD player?
I need to buy a new DVD player as the kids are now getting region 4 DVDs and we already have a load of region 2 (Europe) ones.. so instead of having our old UK one and the new Aussie one side by side, I thought I'd just go and buy one that does all the regions..
Anyone got any recommendations.. had a look online and its all pretty techie for me.. I just want a DVD player that plays all regions? or is that not normal?
Ta in advance

for the kids , Audiosonic cheap kmart special $30-$50 . ours said region 4 but plays all.
If not take it back, kmart should take back no worries.

It is considered a restrictive trade practice (nuts 'eh)

We have a few, Panasonic is ok Conia and some other one. The cheaper the DVD player the more likely its multizone. Just ask at The Good Guys or Clive Peters.
The Panasonic one we have is a hard drive recorder and dvd player and you just put in the code you want.
All my DVDs are from US or Uk so I need one.

whoa! hangon, I read that wrongly I think?
So, in a nutshell, all DVD players SHOULD play any region?

if you download UKTV on the computer - get one wiht a USB port - we have one and its fantastic much faster than burning dvds and worth the extra 20$ that it costs

if you type your existing UK dvd player model number into google with "region unlock code" you should be able to find instructions.

Region free BRs have to be done by changing a chip in most units.

You dont need an operating manual - just find your model number and follow the instructions they give you. Usually inputting a code with your remote and bingo you are region free! I've done several and it's easy as pie for LG anyway.
