OK, I was about ready to throw this sucker against the wall and accuse Dynastar of ripping me off after I couldn't play a Region B Blu-ray in the US. I read reviews here and MANY, MANY other people had the same issue. I found one review that had some instructions for changing the region… I tried and tried, and tried some more, and just when I was about to give up I found out the secret (and the problem in the other reviews instructions).
It's NOT automatic on Blu-rays… you MUST change a setting- here is how.
The player comes set for U.S. (Region A). I was attempting to play a Region 0 (supposedly not coded… fat chance on that being accurate.) It was a UK/Europe Import so it needed Region B.
The other review I found said to turn off the Blu-ray player and then press the BLUE key which will switch to Region B and power on the player- that is NOT correct and DOES NOT work.
Pressing the Yellow, Blue, or Red buttons while the player is turned off does….. drum roll….. NOTHING! (except make you mad when it doesn't work).
Here is how I got mine to switch regions- to ensure I got this correct I swapped back and forth between several different discs coded for different regions- back and forth.
1) Figure out which region you need as follows…
Yellow for Region A: This region covers all of North America, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Blue for Region B: This encompasses Europe, Africa, Middle East, French territories, and Greenland.
Red for Region C: Region which covers the rest of the world including Russia, Asia, and China.
2) Turn on Blu-ray player (menu for the player and/or streaming apps comes on TV screen).
3) Eject the tray.
4) Stick Blu-ray in the tray and DO NOT close the tray (IMPORTANT- DO NOT CLOSE THE TRAY!)
5) Press the colored button for the Region required to play the Blu-ray disc- WHILE THE TRAY IS OPEN and the Blu-ray player is turned on.
6) NOW close the tray.
7) Movie will play for the newly assigned region.
8) Eject the movie when done watching.
9) After watching a movie coded for another region, you probably want to revert back to Region A (assuming you're in the U.S.).
10) Open tray and insert a Region A (U.S.) Blu-ray and LEAVE THE TRAY OPEN!!!!
11) Press the YELLOW key for Region A (U.S.)- WHILE THE TRAY IS STILL OPEN!!!
12) Close the tray. Region A (U.S.) will play. You're now set back to where most of your Blu-rays play.
13) Eject Blu-ray.
14) Turn off the Blu-ray player and TV.
Enjoy!
