PHILIPS DVP3140 - ALL REGION CODEFREE MULTI SYSTEM DVD PLAYER WITH DivX. PLAYS PAL/NTSC DVDS FROM ANY COUNTRY ON NTSC TV. REMOTE INCLUDED.

I bought this item in Nov 2008. Could be the other reviewers have an older version. THERE ARE NO CODES TO TYPE IN. Pop in any dvd you want, it just plays. No drama, no technical issues. It plays regions 1-6, NTSC/PAL. And it DOES eject - just press the stop button for 5 seconds. READ THE MANUAL dude!
Highly recommended. Maybe not the fanciest player, but I'm guessing you're looking at this for the multi-region feature, and that feature WORKS.

It seems the DVD player I received did not need any special codes as mentioned other reviews. The player plays all my DVDs (region 1 and 5). Just tossed a DIVX on there the other day to verify operation, and it works! NICE! No complaints here.

a good player--bought it just to see concerts (in region 2) I recently found out there were 6 regions. Only two complaints about the player--
1. No HDMI outputs

2. NOT even a S-Video ouput

I've been in the market for a great quality region free dvd player for years. Since I always buy DVDs from Asia(I travel a lot), also DVDs from Japan, Taiwan, and Europe. I have a huge collection of Pal and all region dvds.
I used to have Apex DVD player which works for multi-region. But it has hummble big noise when it plays. You can even hear the disc spinning... Then I got another one Lasonic multi-region, works without noise but the remote controll barely responsive and it's very fragile...
Also I'm tired of watching DVDs on my laptop, or even some dvds you have to switch region from 1 to other then have to switch back and forth - only works for 4 times on laptop...
Finally I got a Region Free DVD player so far I did't see any flaws and it really works - for any DVDs I have from China, Japan, Europe, Taiwan...
I'm so excited and I'm also ready to try to get rid of my PAL dvds since I can barely watch them... Now they are all works perfect on my 46in HDTV!
I only have one concerns: since I hooked up the Coadixal cable with my AV-receiver to get a better surround sound. I still want to use my previous Sony 5-DVD players to watch just NTSC and Region 1 movies.(I just want the Philip one works on import dvds and the machine can last longer) But it seemed the AV_receiver only has 1 coadixal imput. So what can I do without change the digital sound cable?

Having lived in the UK for several years, I had many DVDs from Region 2 that I got tired of watching on my notebook computer. Investing $80 (with shipping) in this nifty little machine was a great idea. Following the instructions to change the region setting to region free, (that another reviewer helpfully posted), I then inserted my disc and hoped all would be well. It was. Haven't used it much yet, and I must say that when I turn on the power the machine makes some rather disconcerting noises, but so far so good!
