Question about Philips Magnavox 27MS343S 27" TV

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 :)

Region code lock out

You can only change this code 5 times before it locks out the CD ROM drive. If it's locked out, you will need a new CD ROM drive. Your best bet is to get two external CD ROM drives and set one to region 1 and the other to region 4. This way you don't have to keep buying CD ROM drives. :)

DVD REGION CODE FIXED TO WRONG REGION

You can only do 5 resets of this for the life of the DVD drive.

Instead of resetting it, consider buying a piece of software that lets you disregard region settings, such as AnyDVD (google for it).
