Buying a BD player in Japan? Preferbly smallest possible... - Blu-ray Forum

Hi guys!

I'm going on a trip to Japan soon, and I'm looking to buy a BD player while I'm there.
I know that the voltage might differ (I'm from Sweden) and that Japanese BD's are Region A. Is there anything else I should think about?
Are there any smaller BD players on the market today worth checking out?

Any answers are welcome!

Impossible to stay without knowing the model for sure. All you can really do is try it.
These days, most of the players are multi voltage. I’ve used my US Sony X700 in the UK without a voltage transformer and it’s fine. Likewise, we use a UK Panasonic UB820 in the US without issues.
