Spamming, sorry!

Region 0 dvds are supposed to play on US dvd players, right?

Am I supposed to have to do anything to make that happen?

"REGION 0 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide, however, PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit."

My male roommate think you might need to mod it. he said some region zeros aren't all region.

That's all I can tell you. I ahve no idea personally.
Chrisys (other roommate) might no moare, but she's getting the last bit of sleep before another 32 hour shift and will therefore eat me if I wake her up.

I had a region 0 DVD I purchased in England but it didn't play on my Canadian DVD, much to my annoyance. Being a complete technosquib I can't tell you why this happened, but I wanted to warn you.

It's possible that you have to enter a hack code into your player to override its Region 1 setting. I'm just guessing, but I bought a cheap multiregion player a while ago, and all it was was a regular player that the shop sold with a fuzzy xerox that told me how to override the Region 1 setting by keying in a sekrit code. Which I did, and it now reads DVDs from anywhere. I am told that doing this voids the warranty, FWIW.

Hm. I would like to know how one finds such a code for a DVD player one already owns? If you know, that is; if not I'll just have to get a new one, sigh.

No clue, I'm afraid. I don't think I kept the piece of paper with the sekrit code on it. Why don't you hunt around the wikis and google? I bet you'll find a hack code for your machine somewhere on the net.
