    Is there anywhere in Ireland I can get a multi region DVD player?
    I know there's some way to change codes or something on normal ones but I'm not very technological and really wouldn't have a clue. I would just want one set up to play without any trouble. It's just region 1 DVDs I want to play.
    Sorry if this has been asked before; any help would be appreciated! :)

    Try in tesco. The box should have a picture of a globe on the side with a number indicating what region the player is i.e 2, 4, 6..... You're looking for one that says "ALL" or maybe just "0".

    its very simple to make most dvd players region free.
    you would be able to do it, anybody can

    its can be as simple as just pressing a few buttons on your remote maybe while the dvd tray is open

    read this page for more info and a few links to where you can find the codes

    Richer Sounds have a sale at the moment. A Pioneer DV300 multiregion player is available on their site for €34.99. Try this link for more details.

    They're a good brand and I think its a good price.

    I saw one in Aldi today, available in sliver or black, very stylish and slimline: €33. You could probably get a multi-region unlock code for it on the internet, as posted above.

    Here it is: http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/58_6062.htm

    Just Googled this player, here's how to make it multi-region (I'm not sure of the exact model number but this should work anyway):

    1) Open the DVD Door. On the remote press Setup, Right, Right, Right, (that’s the arrows in the middle of remote)
    2) Enter 9653,a service page will appear,
    3) Use Up/Down Buttom to change region Codes
    4) Set to 0 (zero) for multi-region

    Your DVD player is now multi-region, how easy is that! :D
