1350478 2013-08-02 23:15:00 What are dvd region's?
I've been given a dvd player and tried to watch "The worlds fastest Indian" - but player reports "Wrong regional dvd".
Then I tried "Ice Age" and that played.
What's going on please ?

1350479 2013-08-02 23:33:00 This (en.wikipedia.org). If this is a standalone dvd player, it needs to be multizone to play any DVD

If its a Panasonic dvd player, take it into a Panasonic service centre. They'll dezone it, if it's under a year old. That's what I did down here, Took it to the Panasonic guy not far from here. He did it for free. It's just a few presses of a special remote, and it's done. And Panasonic pays the bill. If it costs anything

Thanks Speedy, its not a Panasonic, and its definitely older than a year.
Will note down make,serial etc, and Google for suppliers at the library on Monday.
