Well, it's really quite simple, Vandevere...DVDs are region-encoded, and can only be played on players that support the particular region. North American players require Region 1 DVDs, for example. Now there are multi-region players out there, the best solution for U.S. fans of films like The House that Dripped Blood, which initially are released only in the UK Region 2 format.

I also have a code free player myslef (Malata N-996) and i am quite happy about it, it has opened the door to a lot of DVD's that i would not have been able to get if i'd kept to my little Toshiba alone. For exemple . the italian import widescreen "Dr. Terror's house of horros" dvd which is the best release i have ever seen so far. Most of them come in their original language with removable subtitles, so it's quite practical!! Sylvain |

Is it really that unusual for the US that subtitles are included on DVDs? Or did I just had bad luck with my movies? luckyTramp | |

If you happen to buy one which only have one region ie 1- 2 its very easy to change it to region free your self. I changed my, and now it can take all regions. You can do it to most DVD players, even the one on your computer. You can also do it to VCRs. star38 |

Right, your DVD player is too new to get a code. The other thing you can do is to take it back to the shop and ask them if they can make it region free, they may charge you a few $ but it can be don't. Sorry coz it new i cant get a code. Most shops in England will charge you a few pounds to do it but it can be done by your self. I did it so it not hard. star38 |
