I bought this machine as it was advertised as a multi region DVD & BluRay player. It plays all DVD region discs but only Region B BluRay discs. There was supposed to be written instructions in the box to explain how to change regions but these were not in the box. I tried all usual methods to change regions using remote buttons 1,2,3 and the colored buttons but couldn't change regions. I tried to contact the seller for clarification, but didn't get a reply. I have returned the player to Amazon for a refund. Thank you Amazon.

A lovely little blue ray player.

I am glad I bought this player as it means I can play any DVD or Blu Ray from any region in the world. I also use it as my CD player as my TV is connected to an amp and speakers (for surround sound), so it's a great all rounder. Nice and compact too, so it doesn't take up much space.It also plays digital files from memory stick - but there are some limitations there. The player doesn't seem able to "read" any memory stick over 16GB in size. Therefore, if you have digital media (on stick) to view, you'll need to transfer it down to a smaller device. It also doesn't play all formats (from memory stick). Some older digital files that I can still play on my PC (using VLC Software) aren't "recognised" by this player - but most general modern file types read OK (MP4 etc).Buyers need also to be aware that the instructions for use aren't complete, but it's easy to work out what to do. Basically, DVD's (from any region) just play when you put them in. With Blu-Ray discs, the instructions tell you to press button 1 (for Region A), button 2 (for Region B) or button 3 (for Region C) whilst the tray is open. There is, however, another step beyond this not referenced on the instructions (see below).Once you have selected the right region (see above) the disc tray closes by itself. The next screen you see has four options displayed: "Movie", "Photo", "Music" and "Settings". Once your Blu-Ray is in, the temptation is to select "Movie"...but it will not play if you do. If you look to the very bottom of the screen, there is a small "Blu-Ray" icon displayed. Using the arrow keys and the "Enter" key on your remote, you must select this "Blu-Ray" icon in order for it to play. Then you're good to go.All that taken into consideration, it is a great device for its price and one you will get many hours enjoyment out of. It has really broadened the range of movies / TV shows I watch as a lot of titles don't get a UK release and aren't always available on other digital platforms.

Having had this player for a few months, I can now review it from experience. The first and obvious thing to say is that it works. It does play all of the discs it's been asked to play so far, Blue-ray and DVD, whatever their region. This is great as my kids and I have pretty obscure tastes that often run to movies and TV shows that have never been given a Region 2 release. This player was bought to replace a previous one we had made region-free years ago using a simple hack we found online. This time round, that seems to be more difficult to achieve, presumably made so by manufacturers, so we opted for this one that has been hacked for us. We did, however, have to pay a hefty increase on the base price of the unit for the region-free hack that's been applied to it. It would be really nice if manufacturers just treated us like grown-ups and made all their players region-free in the first place. Ah well, a person can dream...That said, the quality of the player is hard to fault. It even noticeably enhances the quality of DVDs played on it over any other player we've owned, which is a very nice bonus. For both Blue-rays and DVDs, it produces a good, clear, crisp image. The only minor quibble with it is that it sometimes has odd ways of handling disc menus. Sometimes it bypasses them altogether and just starts playing the movie or first episode on the disc as soon as you put it in. This can be an issue if you're wanting to watch an episode other than the first. You then have to manually access the menu and locate the episode you want. Unlike our previous player, it doesn't seem to have the facility to recall the point you got to on a disc and begin again from that point after a restart. As said though, these are minor quibbles with what is otherwise a very good player that also benefits from being nicely compact and not taking up a whole lot of room on the TV shelf. All in all, pleased with our purchase and would recommend it to anyone else with a collection that includes obscure Japanese movies, cult TV shows and box sets of 'Mystery Science Theater 3000.'
