Can my existing US-bought DVD player play import CDs and DVDs?

Your CD player can play any CD we sell on our site. Your US-bought DVD player can play any DVD purchased on our site as all the DVDs we sell are set for All Regions - "0".

What is DVD region coding?

Manufacturers require all DVDs to include a standard code for each different geographical region. Each player, in turn, is also given a code for the region in which it is sold. The player will only play discs that are coded for its’ own region. Region codes are a permanent part of each disc and do not go away and cannot be altered.

There are 8 international regions, with most players and discs labeled by a region number in the image of a world globe somewhere on its packaging.
1 = U.S. and Canada
2 = Japan, Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East
3 = Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
4 = Australia, New Zealand, various Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean
5 = Eastern Europe (Russian states), the Indian subcontinent, most of Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia
6 = China
7 = Reserved for future use
8 = Special international venues (such as airplanes or cruise ships)

Please feel free to use this chart to note which regions your own equipment can play. Anything labeled with a "0" can typically play all regions though this is not recognized as an official classification.
