Decieving Product Title
(1 out of 5) by Jim Todd on Aug 28, 2007 (Marshall, MI, USA)I purchased this unit, because it stated that it could play DVD's from any world region, but this was not the case, as it only plays American DVD's. This cost me unecessary shipping costs, as I only got the return shipping costs free. I am still waiting for my reimbursement from AMAZON

Amazon MultiRegion for Dummies
(1 out of 5) by M. Schwalbaum on Feb 9, 2007 (Jay, NY United States)I searched Amazon and found this unit to play Region 1-3 DVD's.
Simple? Well. The term MuliFormat in the description
plus the reviews seemed to show this was a good choice
so I bought.
But right on the box before I opened it, it said:
"This set plays DVD sold in the US only (Region 1)."
We need some help in these Amazon page descriptions!
MULTIREGION FOR DUMMIES should de offered defining the
terms MulitFormat, MultiRegion, MultiZone, etc etc
If a player is limited to Region 1, the Amazon description
should say "Plays Region 1 only."
If a player will play Region 1-3, but you need to be a whiz
by playing around entering codes (see review this page) every
time you want to watch a DVD, the Amazon description
should say "Plays Region 1-3 with program code entry only."
If a player will play Region 1-3 automatically without
hassles, the Amazon description should say "Plays Region 1-3."
