Ray Multi Region
Can anyone tell me if the Australian Sony BDP s370 Blu Ray Player is multi region?
I’ve done a bit of research but I keep getting different answers! I’m in region 4 and I want to buy a region 2 DVD to play on my sony player. Will it work, can anyone give me a definitive answer?
Rather than just copy pasting info from Wikipedia, I’d really like info on this specific DVD player, like if anyone else has tried etc. I’m looking to play a REGION 2 DVD on my Sony and I’m in Australia.
Dvd players have different regions than blu ray players. A region free dvd player has 0 on a label on the back of the player.
REGION 1 — USA, Canada
REGION 2 — Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 — S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 — Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 — Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 — China
REGION 7 — Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
REGION 8 — Reserved for Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc…
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.
As with the implementation of region codes for DVDs, Blu-ray Disc players sold in a specific geographical region are designed to play only discs authorized by the content provider for that region. This is intended to permit content providers (motion picture studios, etc.) the ability to support product differences in content, price, release date, etc., by region. According to the Blu-ray Disc Association, “all Blu-ray Disc players…(and) Blu-ray Disc-equipped computer systems are required to support regional coding.” However, “Use of region playback codes is optional for content providers…”[112] Some current estimates suggest 70% of available [movie] Blu-ray Discs from the major studios are region-code-free and can therefore be played on any Blu-ray Disc player, in any region.[113]
Movie studios have different region coding policies. Among major U.S. studios, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios have released all of their titles region-free.[114][115] Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. have released most of their titles region-free.[116][117][118] Lionsgate and Walt Disney Pictures have released a mix of region-free and region-coded titles.[119][120] 20th Century Fox and MGM have released most of their titles region-coded.[121][122]
The Blu-ray Disc region coding scheme divides the world into 3 regions, labeled A, B, and C.
Region A includes most North, Central and South American and Southeast Asian countries plus the Republic of China (Taiwan), Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
Region B includes most European, African and southwest Asian countries plus Australia and New Zealand.
Region C contains the remaining central and south Asian countries, as well as the People’s Republic of China and Russia.
In circumvention of region coding restrictions, stand-alone Blu-ray Disc players are sometimes modified by third parties to allow for playback of Blu-ray Discs (and DVDs) with any region code.[123] Instructions (‘hacks’) describing how to reset the Blu-ray region counter of computer player applications to make them multi-region indefinitely are also regularly posted to video enthusiast websites and forums. Unlike DVD region codes, Blu-ray region codes are verified only by the player software, not by the optical drive’s firmware.
