Is there any DVD player that works?

Question

I wanted to watch this DVD from Japan but when I played it in the US it didn`t let me see it !! I found out I can play it in my computer since it`s international. Does the U.S. sell any DVD players that you can you see DVD`s from Japan???

Answer 2

you can buy an "all regions" player-ask at one of the larger retail stores or online- mine is a yamaha

Answer 3

Yup. Different parts of the would have a different region code to play movies. The US is region 1 while Japan is region 2. So obviously most DVD players in the US are region 1 format and Japan are in region 2.

However, some DVD players are "region free" or "multi-region". You just have to see if the DVD player is one.

A quick search on amazon I found a multi region DVD player for under $50

Good Luck!!

P.S. What did you get from Japan? Was it anime??

Answer 4

The answer is in how the dvd was encoded.  If it was made in Japan, then it won't play on a US machine.  See if the big box stores sell such a player.  I doubt it.
