felix 0 Posted November 22, 2003 Hehehehehe!!! When I bought my Sony DAV-S500 I was under the impression that it would only pay region 4 discs (Australian purchase). However I have a region 1 copies of "The Patriot" and "The Green Mile" and decided to give them a go, and good golly miss molly it works without a hitch. Only thing different is that the display on the unit shows "NTSC". A win today for the consumer. Share this post Link to post
darrylp 0 Posted November 22, 2003 err, like doesnt it take the drive something 5 different regions before it will lock down onto what is the then currently being played region ? Share this post Link to post
felix 0 Posted November 23, 2003 True for DVD drives. I should have mentioned that this is a home theatre system. Sorry 'bout that. Share this post Link to post
darrylp 0 Posted November 23, 2003 hmm, i've seen two of my mates dvd players, offer this choice. they are the only two with disks from other regions, so i just assumed it was standard to the drive mechanism (or electrics) rather than something just put into a computer drive. but interesting anyway. thanks.
