" Wrong Region " error displayed while trying to play DVD's

I have DVP 3007 DVD Player. I face the problem of "wrong Region" error with some of the DVD's when I tried to play them. When I enquired abt this to my DVD supplier he said I need to ask the Philips company people to make my DVD player "universal" as to play all sorts of DVD's. Is there any code to make it universal, kindly help me to fix this problem.

You can get a region free player on your computer and then you can play discs from different regions. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which is a free software tool and a region free player.

Hi,

Most branded DVD's have a country code programmed in it.
There is no code to reset it.
It is better you buy a local chines make kinda dvd palyer. It will play all and comes cheap.

Sylvania portable DVD player says "wrong region"?

The "wrong region" error on your DVD or Blu-ray player means you are trying to play a disc that is not meant to be played in your country.
You can download some region free players on your laptop and region free players can play dvd of any region code. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which is a region free player and a free Blu-ray player and DVD player.

Message "wrong Region" appears in my Sony DVD -

DVD region is an anti-piracy method to block DVDs from other countrys to be played on a region where that DVD isn't available for selling. You still can watch that DVD by changing the DVD Player region code from options but be aware that you have a limited number of changes, after changes reach 0 you cannot change DVD region code anymore and your DVD player will be stucked to a certain region that you selected.

My dvd player says playback prohibited by area limitations

Sounds like it's the wrong region disc. Try a disc that worked before and if it does than there is nothing wrong with your dvd player it is the disc you are trying to play that has the issue.

I HAVE A DISC IN U.K. AND EUROPE REGION . BUT CAN'T PLAY MY DVD PLAYER. HOW CAN I PLAY THE DISC IN OUR PLAYER? MODEL IS DVP 3256 ,DVP 3258,DVP 3268 . WITH USB . ANY OPTION TO PLAY THE OTHER REGION DISC....

HELLO
This sounds like the old problem of your player trying to play a disc from another region, when your player is set for another. What you need to do is HACK the player and set it for ALL REGIONS (0), usually via the remote control.
Try this website for DVD player hacks: www.videohelp.com
You will find hacks for many makes and models listed here. Contrary to belief, it is NOT illegal to hack a DVD player.
