Conclusion, if you want to play discs (BD and/or DVD) from different regions, you cannot do this with your current BD-player and, therefore, you will need to buy one of the options I mentioned in my former post. There might be more possibilities I don't know about, so maybe other forum users will post something that can help you better.

Of course, if you are only interested in playing DVD's from another region, you could buy a cheap DVD-player online in addition to your current BD-player, but you'll have to live with 2 boxes.

I got mine a year or two ago. Thanks for all your help. Also I can't get the Japanese 5.1 option on my batman begains. Could you help me out or was that option a miss prent. I have updated my player with the reasiont fermwere.

Also is it true that Blu-ray players can make the picture qulity better? How?
