Region Free Blu-ray Players (World Wide List)
- Thread starter Wreck
- Start date
I don't know about recommending, but I've just got an LG BP620 3D Blu-ray Player from Multiregion Magic and so far I've very happy with it. I paid them a visit and they seem to know what their talking about.
Bought a Panasonic 75 (Region A) last year when my PS3 kicked the bucket.
Last weekend I bought a Pansonic DMP BDP310 (Region B) for not much more than I paid for the DMP BDP75. I'm pretty much covered, though I plan to purchase the enhanced Update disc so that I can watch Dredd 3D whenever I upgrade my projector.

Cookster, I recently purchased a Toshiba bdx1200 player from Ebay for £38, including postage. This was a refurbished model, looked new when it arrived via courier!
This model and the 1100bdx can be made region free (both DVD & Blu-ray) with a simple firmware update, available via trusty google....
Worked a treat for me!
I'm having the same problem. New TV, it's worked before on it though, and now I get the Prohibited message.
^^^ you have to press "Set up" then 9-1-1-3
If that doesn't work then just Downgrade the firmware

I've tried Home/Setup then 9-1-1-3 countless times in frustration. I did a factory reset, does that downgrade the firmware?
Nope it just erases everything else to factory but the firmware stays the same. You can try and downgrade the firmware again and see if that helps. BR Forums has a thread dedicated to the Insignia's along with the Firmware downloads.
I was hoping it wouldn't come to that as I only have a Mac, so I need to find someone with a PC to download the firmware for me. Unless I can use Ubuntu...
I was so upset that this didn't work out. I really wanted to order one. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and get a region free, sigh
Does anyone have a solution for an inexpensive player I can make region free? Model numbers? Thanks

Godspeed compadre
Instead of going through the trouble of downloading through a PC that I don't have, I just burned the .iso file to a blank data CD. Popped it into the Insignia and it asked if I wanted to "upgrade". Definitely saving that CD by my Blu-ray player in case my brother connects to the Wi-Fi again.
It should be, I was able to get the "Configure Player" menu option to come up, allowing me to change regions.
Well then that should do it
Tested it tonight with a Region B locked disc and it worked fine. For the first time, it remembered the Configure Player option and I didn't have to re-enter the code. I used to have to do it every time.
I still have to configure it everytime I turn it on.
The only thing I hate is the Loading. UNIVERSAL movies take a long time to load up, 2 to 3 minutes. Same thing with Fox studios blu's, Taken 2 took a long time to load. I recently added a USB stick for Blu ray data storage. It seems to load up faster now, I'm guessing it's the save date from the USB Stick
I don't think it has Internal memory itself?
Really? It didn't work for me after resetting it to factory settings. It only worked after I downgraded my firmware.
