The LA95 is a multi regional DVD player, but yet it will not play either PAL or NTSC discs. Errorr message states the disc is the wrong region.
I have reset all the initial settings, as per the manual. The player is set to ratings 8 which is unlocked for all discs.
Daughter was mesing about with the player and she has done something which now prevents it from playing any disc!
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,

Region codes prevent playback of DVDs in other geographical regions. If you receive a region error while playing a DVD, this means that the region code of the DVD does not match the region code of the DVD drive. If you try to play Region 2 titles on a Region 1 DVD drive, you will receive an error message.
You can play the region-locked DVD on a region-free player such as Leawo Blu-ray Player which is free for windows and Mac.
Is it the Panasonic Portable DVD player
here is one thing it says
This unit responds to the Region Management Information recorded on DVD-Video. This unit’s region number is “1”. You cannot play the disc if the region number on the DVD-Video does not correspond to the region number on the unit.
You can play discs marked “1”, “ALL”, or with a region number including “1”.
Here is what I would do - default it to its original state see below -
Do the following to reset the unit to its original factory
settings. While the unit is stopped, press and hold
[;], [:] (backward), and [1, ON] on the main unit
for about 3 seconds until the message “Initialized”
disappears from the LCD, then turn the unit off.

Hello nginter1,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it is a panasonic portable dvd player, bought in the USA. This was working fine, but now it cannot play the same disc.
I switched the unit on, (no disc) and pressed backwards and on at the same time, as per your fix. The message initialised was not displayed. Please advise.
Cheers Craig
I also have the same problem, I have tried region 1, 2, 4. Region 0 plays fine. The DVD player is region 2. Has anybody else solved this problem?
I have done the reset correctly but still have the problem continues.
