Is this DVD player multi region?

Hi we have a Magnavox MDVD300 and have lost the manual. As we are in Australia which is region 4 I am wondering if i buy a dvd from the US (region1) or the UK (region2) could this player play it ok? Unfortunately the movie the kids want is no longer available here so before i pay the extra to get it shipped i want to be sure they can watch it. Hope you can help! :0) Thanks Lisa

Sorry I was not able to find information specifically about the MDVD300 but the MDVD302 does not support region free play so, I don't believe the MDVD300 will either. Hope this helps in some way.

What region is the DVD player that comes with the new TEAC TV that I bought? I can't find the info on the manual or the internet. Please help. I live in Australia. Thanks.

It depends if the DVD player is separate to the TV or built into it. Assuming the DVD is a separate unit, it must be region 4 for Australia, unless specified otherwise (on the player's rear panel or in the operation manual). The only types of DVD players/recorders allowable in Australia are region 4, and multi-region. If the player plays region 4 DVDs, but not other regions, there's your answer. A model number and/or brand of the DVD player would help.

I was just wondering if Magnavox Dvd/VCr combo MWR20V6 is a multi-region dvd player?

all dvd players are region free when you first buy them, they set the region themselves, after 5 dvd's have been played on them. So if you had a european dvd player and played 5 USA dvd's on it , it would lock to the USA region and you would be unable to play european dvd's on it. Exactly what a friend did many years ago when he bought a load of american dvd films from someone and played them on his brand spanking new dvd player :)

Will the dvp 311ok play ntsc dvd i am in australia and i am reg 4

As long as the NTSC DVDs are not region coded, and your TV is multi-standard (able to receive NTSC as well as PAL signals via A/V inputs or similar connections), the player should play NTSC just fine through it

I assume this is a PHILIPS player? If so, most PHILIPS DVD players support NTSC playback on PAL TV.

You are correct, Australia is region 4 for DVD standard. The only restriction would be region codes.

Panasonic dvd-cp72

asptroy,

hi mate, just want to know first if what region indicate at the back of your DVD player? the reason why i ask you, is because most of branded DVD have their own region for ex. for asian countries they are tagged as region 3 and Australia region 4 ...... most probably your player is not configured to play multi region disc if it can't play any disc. The only way to check if your player have a problem is to check the region of your player and if you can barrow or buy a dvd disc having the same region. or simply check for DVD disc which indicates that it is a all region compatible. Actually this is only info that i can share, but if your only near in my place i can help you change your dvd player to become a multi disc reader simply by clicking some activation keys using the special remote control specially design to configure and modify region setting of panasonic players.

cheers,
