Hi, I hope that you guys can help me. I purchased a DVD player in Canada and then we took it back to Chile. The problem is that I wasn't aware of the international codes or whatever that prevents international dvd movies to be played on certain players. Do any of you know a way to get rid of this? How to fix it? Any information will be appreciated

thanks.

Not unless you have a region-free player. Post the make and model so we can see.

Chances are your player is Region 1 since you bought it in Canada. The world is divided into different regions as shown in the map below. You cannot play a DVD from another region unless you have a codefree player and/or video converter. A handful of players have the PAL-->NTSC converter built in, but most don't.

I hear that some player can be modificated to be region free. As I don't know your country, I can't help you more with that.

But even if you do this, some titles still don't work on some player, especially Warner and Columbia DVDs.

Oh, that is important too.
