Region-Free Did Not Work
Paid $160 for the region free feature. Had a Region B Blue Ray. Instructions are in separate paper and in big bold print they carefully explain how to switch to the desired region.
To switch: 1) turn player OFF 2) hit button corresponding to desired region (BLUE for Region B) 3) Player will power on in new region.
This did not work. Tried everything I could think of. When player was off and I pressed BLUE. Nothing happened. Same thing for all the other regions.
The normal manual explained that there is a sticker on bottom of player that lists which region it could play "ALL" for all. mine was set to "A". Now, maybe that's normal and the other instructions were how to get around that.
BUT, there was a big old white sticker on the outside of the box that said, "REGION FREE", and a great 1 page on how to switch between regions. So...
Returning immediately.
