Maybe. Some BD's are coded region-free, so can be played by a Blu-Ray player in any country. About 70% of the discs out there are region free, but most current releases from studios have region coding which will not permit a US player to play a UK disc.

With Blu-ray it's Region A, B, and C

North America is Region A: Americas, Japan, Korea and South East Asia.

Europe is Region B: Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australia

Asia is Region C: Russia, India, Mainland China and Central Asia countries.

Will a UK DVD player connect and work in the US?

There are several things that are different between UK and US television equipment. A UK player normally runs on 240V. Some will also work at 110V but not all. You may need to obtain a 110V to 240V converter. Next, UK players will not generally play US DVDs because each disc has a region code built in. If the region code of the disc is different to that of the player, the disc will not play. Therefore, only expect a UK player to play UK discs. The television standards are different in the two countries. Some but not all US televisions will handle UK video signals that use a different frame rate and different color encoding system. Lastly, UK television has been using widescreen format images for two decades. In the US, standard definition television has remained 4 : 3 viewing ratio with the 16 : 9 format only being introduced with HD. Playing a standard definition widescreeen signal to a US television may result in a distorted image without the means to adjust the aspect ratio. With these in mind, only consider taking a UK DVD player to the US if you need a means of playing a UK disc collection. If it simply to avoid purchasing another player, the hassle of setting up a UK player in the US far outweighs the cost saving.


Will my Japanese DVD player work in the UK - it's a REVO DVP-867?

The answer is both yes and no. Here is the "yes" answer explained. Japan uses NTSC as its color encoding system, similar to the US standard. Most modern UK televisions will accept NTSC encoded signals and playing a Japanese disc on a Japanese player on to a UK screen should work. You should check with the manufacturer or the manual that the particular model is NTSC compatible. All UK televisions that handle NTSC use the North American NTSC standard. The Japanese version of it is very slightly different and you may find that the blacks in the picture aren't as black as they should be. If so, you might want to make a small adjustment to the contrast to correct it. And for the "no" answer: All DVD players have a region code built into them. Similarly, all commercial discs have a code embedded in them. If the codes are not the same, the disc won't play. It's a commercial restriction to prevent discs sold in one market being used in another market. It means that a Japanese player won't play UK discs. However, a UK player won't play Japanese discs either, so to continue using an existing Japanese disc collection, take the player to the UK as well.


Will a German blu ray disc work on a US format?

It is unlikely that US material will work on European equipment for two reasons. First, North America operates on a 60Hz field rate, meaning that images are delivered to the screen 60 times each second. In Europe, the field rate is 50Hz. Color encoding is also different for analog signals. Many European players and monitors will adjust automatically if they see 60Hz content so this problem is not seen often with modern equipment. The second problem is a bigger one. Commercial DVDs and Bluray discs are region coded. A disc that is coded for North America will only work on North American players. Likewise, European discs are restricted to European players. Some DVD and Bluray players are region free, meaning they will play any disc from any region. These tend to be professional decks rather than domestic. Also, non commercial discs do not have the region coding and can also be played on any disc. The only way to be sure is to try it and see if your set up works. If it does, then it is a bonus for you.

Do DVDs from America work in the UK?

Depends on your DVD player. UK DVDs and players are Region 2, US are Region 1. For a Region 2 player to play DVDs encoded with a different region number, the player has to either be specifically able to play Region 1 DVDs, or able to be set to an All Regions mode. Some DVD players have a "secret" code that can be entered on the remote control to set them to Region Free mode. Some players cannot be set to All Regions, while some need a particular model of All In One remote control. Google your DVD player make and model to find out where you stand on setting it to Region Free mode.

How do you watch UK DVD's in America?

DVDs (and Bluray discs) are coded to prevent a disc bought in one region (UK and Europe for example) being played on a player bought in another region (North America in our example).There are several tedious and not particularly reliable processes that can be used to rip the disc to a computer, remove the copy protection and regional coding and then play it on the computer or burn it to a new disc.However, if this is a regularoccurrence, it may be worth buying a low cost UK DVD player at under £20 and simply taking it to America with the discs.Before buying one, make sure that it will operate on 115 Volts, the North American standard voltage and also ensure it has an HDMI output. Having an HDMI connector does not give you HD quality but it does mean that the signal will be in a format that almost all American televisions will handle.You will need to change the mains connector from the UK type to a North American one or use an adapter. If you choose to use an adapter, buy it in the UK because they are almost impossible to buy in the US other than at airports.
