Best Answer

Regions are global areas defined by the BluRay consortium. In order the allow the introduction of movies in different countries on different dates, most Bluray movies have a region code embedded in them. Bluray players will only play movies authored for the region in which they are sold. There are movies on the market, however, that are region-free, and can be played on any Bluray player anywhere in the world.

Put the bluray into PLAY then go into the AUDIO MENU and change through the choices. When you select the correct one the sound should come on.

How do you tell if you DVD player is a HD player?

Can you connect bluray player through HDMI to computer monitor using HDMI?

HDMI is a common standard so connecting a Bluray player to any HDMI input is likely to work. Computer monitors vary little from their television counterparts but there are one or two reasons why it might not work. First, computer monitors may not be configured to handle broadcast HD signals. The timing and resolution are not standard computer formats so it is worth checking that the monitor can handle 720p 50Hz / 60Hz and 1080i 50Hz / 60Hz. Almost all should handle these format with ease but do the checking anyway. Second, a copy protection system called HDCP is used on most domestic HD equipment and it encodes signals on HDMI connectors. If the monitor does not support HDCP, there is a good chance that some or all of the output from the Bluray player will not be displayed. Once again, a check of the manual should show if the monitor is HDCP compliant.
