Those you listed are hard-coded Region-A discs that will not play on Region B or C machines. Are you sure your player is really region-free?

Which discs did you play were fine?

Those 3 discs you mentioned above are region-free, so it doesnt matter if you play them on a Region A or B machine.

Although "Braveheart" from Paramount IS region coded for Region A, and that is one you can play on your "Region B" machine, huh?

but found today by shop if disc is locked i push button a at remote turn mahine on it works they said the mod chip will by pass any codes on latest disc that dont play will they say said disney do it alot.

I'm sorry, but I couldnt understand the above sentence.

I have a BD80 and did the mod to make it region free (soldered a kit inside the player). I think mooncat didn't know the player can't detect automatically the region, you have to press a key to select the region before starting the player.

Yea, that's right. The shop told me today how to change the Blu-ray region on my player. I didn't get that info when I bought it. LOL. Thank God, all my Blu-rays now work.
