Multi region DVD

[buzzyb]

Morning all,

Several weeks ago I asked how I could unlock my Sony HD/DVD player so I could watch Region 1 DVDs. I followed suggested advise and this didn't work. I also contacted Sony and got a very snotty reply! I am now moving onto plan B and/or plan C and would appreciate further advice.

Plan B is to buy a multi-region DVD player, can anyone suggest a make/model? I don't want to spend silly money as it will only be used for Regio 1 DVDs at the same time I do not want the cheapest thing that is hard to operate or poor quality. Is it ok to connect 2 DVD players to the same TV?

Plan C is to buy a laptop and connect it to TV & speakers and be used for music, boring people with holiday photos plus internet. Is it possible to by a laptop that plays Region 1 & 2 DVDs, if so which one?

Many thanks for your help.

Everything you need.
Yes, you can connect two or more dvd players to one television.

thanks.

do you actually have this DVD player which is why you have recommended it or did you search for it. I ask because I also searched for a multi region DVD player and got rather confused. The info/reviews I found for a number of DVD players indicated the player was sold as multi region but the buyer reported otherwise.

My mate has it + it is genuinely multi-region.
