Code Free DVD Players & DVD Recorders Demand Multizone DVD Players! Just make sure you get a Multizone (RCE-free) DVD player- region coding really should be banned!! Region coding is a distribution protection mechanism whereby DVDs encoded for one region are only playable on players which are from that region (unless the DVD is region 0 - all regions). Don't blame the player manufacturers for region coding though - this is mainly the fault of the movie studios (the MPAA - Motion Picture Association of America) so they can stagger movie releases throughout the world. The movie studios are concerned about piracy, but when DVDs are fairly cheap and some countries have released only a handful of DVDs or the DVD only applies to that country (eg Japanese Animation films, BBC videos etc) why make life much harder for the poor consumer? Code-Free DVD Players and recorders play all 6 region DVD's DVD Region Encoding Global region codes identify specific DVDs that are compatible with the players typicallysold in that region. The majority of all current titles play in only one specific region unless otherwise noted. Most of the DVDs sold in Australia are encoded for Region 4 (for standard DVDs) or Region B/2 (for Blu-Ray DVDs) only NOTE:WHEN BUYING DVD FROM THIS SITE A REGION FREE DVD PLAYER IS REQUIRED USUALLY THE CHEAP BRANDS.
