I have tried to play DVDs that I purchased new in the Philippines using my Insignia Model NS-PDVD10 and I get a ''wrong region'' error message. The DVD player will not play these DVDs.

If Im correct, VLC media player can play any region DVD.

Also if you go to 'my computer' then right click your DVD drive then go to 'properties' then go to 'hardware' under the dvd drive hardware, youll find a tab called 'region' you can change it from there however you can only change a certain amount of times.

good luck

kc

The Region encoding for this player cannot be reset.

Ensure that the disk is clean. The player may not play a disk if there is internal condensation; leave the player on for an hour. You may wish to try a lens cleaner. If these steps don't resolve the problem, repairs may be required. Service can be obtained by carrying the unit in to the place of purchase.

Press remote button audio track. That solve my problem.

can you please inform the model number?.
each player has its own way to unlock..

I have a NS-PDVD8 . I purchased DEC 2006. I used it in April 2007 and then again in Jan.2008. When I went TO use March -2008 I received message NO DISCwhen attempting to play DVD.i messed with for an hour by rebooting and and dusting with compressed air.No help

next day I tried a CD and after very long loading time played music.
after I let it run for an hour I attempted DVD but same response.NO DISC

I cleaned the optical lens with a damp soft cloth and dried with soft cloth ( I do not recommend using a cloth but I was fed up and needed the player for flight next day) I believe you can purchase a cleaner kit.

I also ran the lens back and forth 5 or 6 times to make sure it could move fully along track.I heard clicking and wondered if this was ever going to run again.

I tried a CD first and the Cd loaded almost immediately and played

Next I tried a DVD and loaded successfully and played entire movie.

I turnred on and off about 10 times and reloaded movie without any problem.
