Is it possible that your Blu-ray disc has the ABC logo on it? That doesn't necessarily mean the Blu-ray disc is region free. It could still be a region locked disc even if it has that logo on it. If it is, in fact, a region free disc, you would be able to play it on all Blu-ray players. It's hard to tell which region it's from so I would suggest that you try ripping the Blu-ray to MP4 and play it on your computer. It would make things simpler. Here's how: How to Rip and Convert Blu ray to MP4 with Blu ray to MP4 Converter

If you don't mind paying for another Blu Ray player that is region free, here is a place which sells them and one of their less expensive offerings:

http://www.220-electronics.com/samsung-bd-j5700-region-free-blu-ray-player.html

I have one of their Pioneer region free DVD players and it works very well. I use it to play DVDs from the UK that aren't made for the USA region. It also plays USA DVDs, and can play those form Asia also. At the time Blu Ray region free players were a lot more expensive. If they were this cheap I would have bought one of these instead of a regular DVD player.

Another thing you might do, if you have a PC with a Blu Ray player, is use VLC media player. I use it with Linux to play any region DVD player. It may do the same in Windows, too, and it should work similarly with Blu Ray discs.

Can BD-H6500 samsung blu ray player be region free, Presently it is Region B and Region A blu rays do not play on them

This isn't the place to search for hacking blu ray player region codes. But the easy solution is to use a BD drive in a computer, you're allowed a limited number of region codes resets.

HOW DO i unlock BD-F5500/ZF?

Region codes can not be changed on all devices, and even on the ones that can, it can only be changed a few times.
This is to help prevent piracy of videos.
Computer programs exist to allow viewing of other regions on a computer, but this is a grey area of legality and can not be covered here on fixya.
You may do google searches if you wish to research on your own how region codes can be altered.

Unlock region code for Samsung bd-f5500

The copyright protection seems to be embedded in the firmware and is tied into the whole system. I added a fan to my BD-E5900 and the extra draw of power on the board caused the copyright protection to not allow Blurays to play.

How unlock Samsung BD-E5900

If you wantto play DVDs from any region you maybe able to upgrade the firmware to make itregion free BUT if you make a mistake or installed the wrong firmware theplayer will be a piece of junk.
The best solution to make the player region free is to install a piece ofsoftware (Passkey for DVD) that allows you to play DVDs from any region andPasskey for Blu-ray that allows you to play Blu-rays from any region. There areseveral available on the Internet but my favourite is DVD-Region Free From: -
