Can a Blu Ray player coded to Region A (which is what I'd be buying of course) play a DVD with Region code 2? Yes and no. Allow me to explain: - Region A includes among others US & Japan - Region 2 includes among others Europe & Japan So if you have a Japanese player (like I do), you can play region A blu's and region 2 DVD's. There is one big BUT though: PAL doesn' exist in Japan, only NTSC, so you wouldn't be able to play PAL region 2 DVD's. NTSC region 2 DVD's work perfectly though. | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | I have the Insignia BD player from Best Buy and it plays the 1 PAL (Region 0 though) I have. Didn't think it would, but I popped it in and voila! | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

I have a PAL-capable TV but my Japanese PS3 (which has region A/region 2 coding) can't playback PAL content on Blu-ray discs, nor can it upscale PAL-encoded DVD's. You need both: a PAL-capable player and PAL-capable TV, I think. | | | Blu-ray collection

pdf My region A Samsung BD-UP5000 doesn't play PAL discs. Thankfully being in the UK, I've got a UK player as well for any B discs so it's not an issue for me. |

Dolly's not alone. You can also clone profiles.
You've got questions? You've got answers? Take the DVD Profiler Wiki for a spin. | | | | Last edited: by Astrakan |

| | Posted: | | | | Fully agree. The Oppo is the best one-player solution for all shiny discs (except HD-DVD and LD). |
