Panasonic DMP-BD79 won't play Region 1 DVDs?
 

Hi im new & from uk . I bought on internet a dvd for my grandsons but stupidly didnt know that dvd's from usa wont play on my Panasonic DMP-BD79 Blu-ray player . Is there anyway i can get a code so i can play the dvd or just return it to the company i bought it from . They have agreed to accept a return but i thought i would have a try to get a bit of help first . Thank you please help if you can :) NicolaUK

DMP-BD79 is "a multinational"

Code 1 = the USA
Code 2 = Europe

I've never seen a NTSC Blu-ray players that can play PAL, and it probably works in the inverse (no NTSC on PAL either). Yet the same Blu-ray players can often play PAL MP4 and AVI files.

Most DVD players had no issues with PAL and NTSC, either natively playing both, or being easily hackable.

It has nothing to do with Regions. It's about PAL and NTSC.
