fvw53 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sorry my previous post did not print out lhat my question was about a DVD player A 76 year old friend asks me to buy a "region free" DVD player with a USB port able to play AVI, MP4 and MKV The related information in the TV forums is old. I would prefer DVD player with Thai brand name Can anybody give updated advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Go to Tesco and ask the staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytigerbkk Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I agree with Chicog, just ask the staff. If you buy a big brand name there is a chance that it is only set up for one zone but the cheap (Chinese or local branded) players will be region free. For a local brand the price will be from around 600 to 1,000 Baht. Tesco, Big c & Makro will all stock them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have an LG DVD HD recorder that wasn't region free. I searched on the internet and found a site with codes to unlock DVD players. I entered a number, hit enter and it now plays anything and everything. If you find one you like, search online to see if there is an unlock code listed anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puyaidon Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Get a Sokin. It plays every region without any codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique355 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I would believe all DVD players can be unblocked so that they play back all country codes. Ask your dealer (such as at The Power Mall) to do it or search the Internet for the respective code and procedures. Just recently I bought an LG home theater and the sales guy from the Power Mall Bang Kapi was able to "open" the player so it can play back all country codes. Stupid system, anyway.

sumrit Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 All DVD players are made to play in all regions but with more up market models from major manufacturers are then switched in their software to only work in one region. Most cheaper, unbranded models are left switched to their all region mode so will play anything. You can find region hacks for many different DVD players here. http://www.myreviewer.com/Site/ForumSearch/region%20hacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
