Unlock the region code to play imported blue-ray movies

hi my panasonic bluray dvd player sa-bt737 is not displaying the picture, the sound is working great but i cant watch the movie even though i can hear what is going on in the movie. it has worked great in the past but i dont no what has happened please help me

Region 1 DVD's will NOT play on region 2 dvd players.
You need either a region 2 disk or a region 1 DVD Player.

This is because you bought the ps3 from america, it will not let you play anything you buy from europe, i had this problem when i was in germany too i had bought the ps3 in michigan and tried to play in germany and got the same exact error code. i just ordered all my games from amazon. but eventually bought a new ps3 from their region. i dont know why sony does this i personally think it is to stop illegal burning via the internet.

Where did u bought this DVD player?US,Canada,and Mexico?The DVD disc. used NTSC region format.Asia,Europe,Africa,and the Middle East.The DVD disc. used PAL region format.They can't be mix or it will not play as u find out.If u move in and out to another region of the world.U must have a regions free DVD player to play either NTSC or PAL regions.

Me too until I upgraded player's software via LAN connection to latest available (June, 2008). After this worked like charm.

This may be a problem with your ps3 as they are region free. mine is from china and plays all british games fine and blu ray movies email sony @ [email protected]
hope this helps!!

Australia Comes in Region B and USA comes in Region A .

There is NO solution at present to run a different region Movie on a different region PS3

Games are Regional Free so it will play in any regional consoles

DVD movies have region codes, and they typically only play on a player or DVD-ROM drive sold in the country where the DVD movie was sold.

The actual region code is in one byte on the DVD (digital versatile disc). The DVD player or drive has a region code in its firmware. Personal computer DVD-ROM players often have the code in the software or MPEG-2 decoder. The two codes must match for the player or drive to play the movie. The code is also printed on the back of a DVD package, superimposed on a small image of the globe.

DVD regional locking is used to control which DVD movies play in which countries or groups of countries. Movies are often released on different dates around the world. Region 1 has its own player that will only play Region 1 discs. Likewise, Region 2 players can only play Region 2 discs and not play any of Region 1's discs. The six codes are:

1. United States and Canada
2. Europe and Japan
3. Southeast Asia
4. Latin America and Australia
5. Russia, rest of Asia and Africa
6. China

please check the DVD region code again and what PLAYER u are using to play on PC / LAPTOP??

where did you buy the DVD player??

Did you buy the movie from another country?

Different parts of the world have what is called region codes: North America is 1, Europe is 2 etc...
You cannot play a movie that you have bought from... say the UK on a DVD player you bought from the States.

Not really. You could rip the DVD on your computer, then burn it to a new DVD without regional encoding.

Or you could install linux to run on your PS3 and use any number of software solutions under Linux: http://www.psubuntu.com/

But you're not going to be able to just play out of region DVDs as-is.
