Tat's why buy DVD player tat time cannot depend on wat salesmen say can play all regional code etc... Bring your chiong DVD of all variety down to the store. Tell them open up box on the spot play your discs, if can play you straight away buy else don't buy and I tink that is fair arrangement.Originally posted by blowfish:My is LG. never check tt time.

If salesmen no bluff sure will find some small corner to play your pirated discs to prove he ain't lying mah. I wanna save myself a lot of trouble so I bring my own discs along whenever I wanna buy a DVD player
PS... don't tink those so called big stores don't dare play pirated discs.... got money earn they sure will do also albeit in some small room or corner... don't be misled by those small neighborhood electrical shops say big stores got reputation don't dare play pirated discs as testing. All that is bull and sh.it
Big stores salesmen no need to eat meh.... where got say work in big stores cannot do wat those small shops do? -
i very pissed at the regional code thing
sometimes very irritating...alot of stuff unexpectedly cannot see...
any one has a clearer idea what the hell regional code 1-4 means?

Region code 1 = North America, 2 = Japan, 3 = Asia except china, 4 = ?, 5 =? 6= China.
The original intent for DVD region codes is so that Movies can be controlled as in the past there are cases where the Movies are alerady in DVD/Tape format even before the movie was released in Cinemas in other regions.
So the DVD set up a DVD Consortium, (think changed to DVD Forum now).
Only members of DVD consortium can have the codes to decode and encode DVDs. They must strictly abide to manufacturing sets that controls regions.
Penalties will be taken against companies who does not safeguard the DVD codes and/or manufacturers sets that are region free.
But over time, with Piracy, global events (developments in Asia that was unforseen), the ease of shipping things across borders, and lack of government support, the purpose of DVD setting region controls just fades away.
Now, it just appears that every DVD player is now "officially" Region locked but "unofficially" region free.
In Singapore, the DVD players you buy are programmed to be region free. This is an implicit arrangement since the distributors are officially still obligated to keep it region locked. -
Region code 1 = North America, 2 = Japan, 3 = Asia except china,
4= europe. 5 or 6 = aust/NZ, 9 = china. -

I thought 2 is for Europe. All the DVDs I got from UK are region 2. Region 6 is China. Go check those China-imported DVDs - all region 6. Sadly my laptop DVD drive is locked in region 3 so now cannot watch my UK DVDs.Originally posted by kingofbeholder:Region code 1 = North America, 2 = Japan, 3 = Asia except china,

If your dvd player is not 'hacked', there should be some buttons to press to make it work one.
Anyway, I thought all DVD players sold should be modified one. -

Retailer "dunno" it is modified, Distributor "believes" it is still in the original form.
As for Hacking, usually the trick is pressing a combination on the remote. Some might require the use of another brand's remote.. -
