I searched Amazon and found this unit to play Region 1-3 DVD’s.
Simple? Well. The term MuliFormat in the description
plus the reviews seemed to show this was a good choice
so I bought.
But right on the box before I opened it, it said:
“This set plays DVD sold in the US only (Region 1).”
We need some help in these Amazon page descriptions!
MULTIREGION FOR DUMMIES should de offered defining the
terms MulitFormat, MultiRegion, MultiZone, etc etc
If a player is limited to Region 1, the Amazon description
should say “Plays Region 1 only.”
If a player will play Region 1-3, but you need to be a whiz
by playing around entering codes (see review this page) every
time you want to watch a DVD, the Amazon description
should say “Plays Region 1-3 with program code entry only.”
If a player will play Region 1-3 automatically without
hassles, the Amazon description should say “Plays Region 1-3.”

I purchased this unit, because it stated that it could play DVD’s from any world region, but this was not the case, as it only plays American DVD’s. This cost me unecessary shipping costs, as I only got the return shipping costs free. I am still waiting for my reimbursement from AMAZON

I bought this player specifically to play DVD-R discs. When I got the player , the manual says that it is incapable of playing DVD-R discs. I’ve tried over 40 -R discs, and this player will not play any of them.
If you’re looking for a cheap dvd player to play your blockbuster movies, get this one. If you’re looking for a good player that will play all formats: Do Not get this one.

Although this DVD player came up in a search for multiregion DVD players, it only supports Region 1 DVDs. I cannot comment on the performance of this DVD player; my rating of one star is only because it supports only Region 1 DVDs when Amazon’s search billed it as a multiregion DVD player.

This might be a fine DVD player. I wouldn’t know; I never got it out of the box. The reason for the low rating is the misinformation on the Amazon.com page, which led me to believe the model DVP5140 is a multi-region player. But as soon as it arrived, I saw a big statement on the box saying this was for Region 1 (USA) DVDs only. The whole reason I bought it was to play DVDs that are only available in Region 2 (UK) formatting. So I sent it back. Amazon customer service couldn’t find a DVD player that fit what I need. So now I’m just down one major gift idea.
