This worked for a short time, but went bad within 6 months of purchase. And as the fine print on the sales material warns, nobody local will work on these. They seem to be imported from Russia.

I didn't need a hundred-dollar paperweight: This is too much money for too little utility. These come off as flimsy and poorly made. Try somebody else's machine!

This is NOT a Multi-Region player, at least not originally. The one I received is a REGION 3 (this is clearly indicated on the box and in the instructions).

It has been made into a Multi-Region player by opening the box and hacking the player to make it Multi-Region.

This, of course, voids the warranty and makes it impossible to have it fixed by Toshiba, should the need arise.

However, the player I received would not even play Region 1 DVDs ("DVD not formatted for player" appears on the screen).

Conclusion: Will be returning the unit.

Mine broke after six months. The seller wiped his behind on my problem, (VCT Electronics)after I contacted them to try and find out who will fix the unit. Toshiba will not fix it. I now have an expensive paperweight. Shame on Amazon for allowing this to be sold and to allow poor sellers such as VCT to stay associated with Amazon!!!!

DVD regions are the bane of expats and frequent travelers who end up with a collection of incompatible disks.

This player works on all common voltages from 100-240 and plays all regions. A worthwhile purchase for people who roam the world.
