  As others have mentioned, you may find that after ordering this “Multi Region” and “Region Free” device that it is region locked. I appreciate that the device can be unlocked with a code, however this item’s description is wrong. I’m unsure of the devices warranty status should you choose to use an unlock code.

  If you are looking for a multi-region DVD player, do not buy this, because it simply isn’t one. I unfortunately waited a couple of months between receiving this and trying to play a DVD from Europe, but it most definitely doesn’t work. None of my European DVDs work. They all stop during loading and display “Wrong Region” on the screen. Pretty frustrating when the title of this offering says “Guaranteed to play DVDs form any country.” I don’t know if this is incompetence or a complete lack of ethics on the part of the vendor, but it’s likely one of the two.

  I am not sure some people wrote about this item is region free. There is several 5990 from Philips and this 5990/f7 is NOT region free. Some people bought from bestbuy or other store but this is not same dvd player people discribed about item.
  
  If you are looking for player which playerble other region DVD, this is not the ONE.

  I’ve had this machine for about two weeks, and it works fine…plays all regions with no problem, once you enter the remote code.

  Unfortunately, it doesn’t always eject the DVD when you’re done watching. We’ve probably played 12 discs, and 3 of them have slipped out of the tray and disappeared into the bowels of the player. You can hear the disc rattling around loose if you tip the machine. We got all three discs out eventually, but not before they’d gotten pretty badly scratched. Rather than take the risk of messing up any more DVDs, I think I’ll return it.

  This DVD player was listed as multi-region and I ordered it as I buy DVDs from the UK from the UK frequently. However it does not play DVDs from other regions but by the time I realised this I had disposed of the original pacakging.Amazon ignored my email question about how to return it so I’m now stuck with a DVD player I don’t want and no way of playing my collection of DVDs from the UK. Not a good experience.
