    RDV-1050 Region Free in Canada?

    Hi,

    I'm thinking of buyng RDV-1050 but are worried that they might not be region free. So is there anyone here from Canada who has a RDV-1050 who can tell me if it's region free or not?

    All region 1 players are not region free (That's North America). You get the same shipments we do.

      Is that really necesarilly so?

      I know from my own experience that the Swedish distributor makes all Rotel DVD players region free even though they are still labelled Region 2.

      Maybe the Canadian distributor does the same or can have the same service done?

      If you want to be sure, order a RDV-1050E from Sweden (220v unit) and get it region free with a Euro/Scart connector too.

          hmmm... my previous thread has led me to another question.......I know you cant play Region 1 DVD's in Region 4 or others but I also know that you have regionfree DVD players....or you can tweak your DVD's to be region free.......but the real question coming to my mind is :

          I saw a while back a guy in U.K. selling some type of factory service CD that makes Denon 2200 and 2900 region free. He claimed it's completely safe and won't void warranty. Has anyone heard or tried something like this? I made my cheap Samsung DVD player for my bedroom region free with some remote...

          I'm looking for some help in regards to unlocking an RDV-1092 for playing both R1 and R2 discs. I currently live in Canada, where supposedly all major brands have a licensing contract, prohibiting them from releasing anything but locked R1 players. I'm from Europe however, meaning...
