Region Free DVD Players

SIM CARDS, CELL PHONES, SATELLITE PHONES AND A REGION FREE DVD PLAYER TAKE THEM WITH YOU

SIM cards, cell phones, satellite phones and a region free DVD player for a person who is on constant move

When you are always on the run you need some accessories to support you. If you are a sportsman, you might be traveling all over the world. While traveling, you will like to have continuous contact with your coach and mentor if he is not with you, and your near and dear ones, a source of your constant inspiration. In such exigencies a cell phone will be of real use. But a cell phone on the roaming will be sometimes a very costly affair, especially when you thinking of visiting abroad and you will like to reduce the cost and at the same time like to be online with all those whom you want. Here will require a prepaid SIM card for that specific country, which will save you 80% of your expenses. In this case you need to make sure that your handset is a GSM quad band. It is likely that the GSM mobile phone you have is not going to work abroad. In that case you may rent one such before you go abroad. To learn more about renting, you can look them up at www.planetomni.com/RENT_INFO.shtml For all the explanations regarding SIM cards and GSM phones, why not visit www.planetomni.com/FAQ_SIM.shtml for SIM cards and http://www.planetomni.com/FAQ_gsm.shtml for GSM mobile FAQs.

While you are on the run, moments will come when you will feel real lonely and you will like to play your memorable moments on your DVD. In that case your true solution would be a region free DVD player.

These devices are required for all who travel frequently

It is not only a sportsman that continues to be on the run over the days. There are many professionals around the world who are involved in professions that require constant travel and a nomadic life. Such professions may be that of businessman having a global customer base, an adventurer on constant search of exciting avenues, a travel guide, or a representative of a big organisation, a political leader, and even a Government Officer. What is pertinent in case of a sportsman on the run is also pertinent for these people. Every one of them require to communicate with his own people sometime or other and every one needs some relaxation in peaceful solitude going down the memory lane.

Communication and entertainment for groups

There may be occasions when in traveling you are not alone but a part of a group with heterogeneous background, with homogeneous object. It may be a team of sportsman, a group of businessmen, a caravan of pilgrims, or a party of tourists on the move. In such case though you might be in constant touch with your mates, the requirements of a cell phone, SIM card or Satellite phone will be even greater because each member will have his or her own circles to communicate or keep in touch with. And a region free DVD player can just cater to the exact requirement of divergent members liking to view divergent CDs and DVDs procured from different zones with different standards of PAL, NSTC, or SECAM, because every member to the team or group will be able to make use of it, such that any DVD procured from anywhere in the world, and using any standard can be playable on a region free DVD player.

Cell phones, satellite phones, SIM cards, and a region free DVD player for other uses

It is not that you require a cell phone, SIM card, satellite phone or a region free DVD player only to keep in touch with your own people or relive your memories of fond moments. There are several other reasons for which you will like to have these gadgets. Cell phone for example has reduced the global distance by bringing the world to your fingertips. You can access anyone anywhere in the world from a cell phone provided, that the region where the contact lives has a network or even dial-up ordinary phone system. Such requirements may be communication of commercial messages, interaction, and deliberation, intimating important issues or even a courtesy call. A SIM card, as already pointed out is the accessory to activate a cell phone. However, every SIM card may not be usable everywhere and even when usable, may cost too much in terms of roaming cell phones. It is therefore better to have a cell phone which is factory unlocked GSM mobile phone. It allows you the facilities of changing your SIM card at will and using them.

Utility of the devices in emergencies

Satellite phones may come up handy in emergent situations like when you are stranded during a travel for some reasons and want to send important SOS messages to your contacts, and where mobile networks are not available. It is also very useful where direct satellite phone communication is available, and though a little bit costlier compared to normal phone systems, the clarity of communication and the speed of access far out weigh the little disadvantage in terms of the cost factor.

Play any DVD from any part of the world with a region free DVD player

A region free DVD player is immune of the affects of standard syndrome. Normally all DVDs cannot be played on all players. Different regions in the world use different standards for a DVD like PAL, NSTC, and SECAM, used in Europe, North America and France respectively. A region free DVD player will play all types of DVD irrespective of whatever standard they might follow and the standard specification problem gets affectively addressed with a region free DVD player.

Get a real provider

So cell phone, SIM card, satellite phone, and a region free DVD player, all can come handy in different situations and on different occasions. It may be required for communication, for messaging, for business pursuits, for enlivening memorable moments, for emergencies and for virtually anything. With these devices you will not feel that you are out of touch with your near and dear ones and you are still a part of your known environment. But the million dollar question remains as to where you get the devices. Who is going to provide you all these devices and ensure quality of the products? The simple answer is that you need a good and reliable provider who can give you all your choicest gadgets at a competitive price and also provides real after sales service. Once you select a real reliable provider, 80% of your problem is solved. The remaining 20% will also be solved as soon as you get acquainted with the handling of the devices.

Beware of unscrupulous traders

Urge for procuring all the devices that makes an otherwise secluded life on constant move really enjoyable, has driven many decent citizens in the past to grab such articles wherever available. In doing so, many of these innocent and unsuspecting citizens have walked into the booby trap laid by unscrupulous merchants who are prowling in the wings. These dishonest merchants make the innocent and unsuspecting customer believe that they are providing them with a real factory unlocked cell phone, or a real low-charge SIM card, or a real region free DVD player, and the customer gladly parts with a lot of his hard earned money to have these devices. But at real time, to their dismay, such customers find that all these devices are not what they claim to be. Instead, they find that these are really career endorsed mobile and support only the network of the provider and not others. SIMilarly, the SIM card provided may not support other areas and even if the SIM card can be used, it may be used as a roaming cell phone only charging the poor customer almost five times of what they would have paid towards call charges under ordinary circumstances. The region free DVD player provided by such fraudulent traders may turn out to be one which provides only limited region free services like playing PAL standard DVD on an NSTC TV but not the vice versa and when it comes to playing SECAM Standards, the DVD player does not support it at all. There are millions of such incidents that have happened with decent people all around. Visit us at www.planetomni.com

    What is a codefree DVD player?

    To prevent the latest movies from reaching countries where a particular film has not reached the theaters yet, Hollywood film studios imposed an encoding technique. This regional coding is a digital flag on the disc that tells the DVD player where a particular DVD comes from. This is supposed to prevent the disc from being used by an incompatible player in another country.

    A normal DVD player can only play discs designated for the player's own particular region. However, a codefree DVD player is a capable of playing DVD discs from anywhere around the world. So while a normal, non-codefree DVD player can only play DVD's from one region, a codefree DVD player can play DVD discs from all 6 regions.


    What are the 6 DVD regions?

    DVD regions are made up of six different areas around the world. We specialize in modified DVD players that allow you to play any and all discs from around the world, thus circumventing the restrictions that the studios seek to impose on us. While being able to play discs that you have purchased on a modified codefree DVD player does not allow the movie studios to maximize their profits, it is not illegal to do so.

    • Region 1: USA
    • Region 2: Europe and Japan
    • Region 3: Asian Pacific
    • Region 4: Australia, New Zealand and Latin America
    • Region 5: Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe
    • Region 6: China and Hong Kong


    I currently have a DVD player. How do I know if mine is codefree?

    If you purchased your DVD player at any large electronics chain store like The Good Guys or Circuit City, then you have not purchased a codefree DVD player. If you're still unsure, simply attempt to view an overseas DVD to see whether it will play or not.


    Can I modify my own DVD player to be codefree?

    It is possible, but unless you're an engineer, it's not recommended. Far too many people attempt to do this and end up damaging their DVD players. Also, by attempting to modify it yourself, you void any manufacturer's warranty.


    What warranties come with your DVD players?

    Almost all our DVD players come with a 60-day warranty provided by ourselves. In the event that your DVD player is defective within 60 days of the date of purchase, we'll repair it for you. Please inquire before purchasing in regards to the warranty.


    Are DVD discs PAL or NTSC?

    DVD discs are still either PAL or NTSC standard. Also, similar to multisystem VCRs, DVD players will not convert video standards. When you're playing an NTSC-standard DVD, it will output an NTSC signal. When you're playing a PAL-standard DVD, it will output a PAL signal.

    There are two ways to watch both PAL and NTSC DVDs. You can either view your DVDs on a multisystem TV, or purchase a Tenlab video converter to convert your DVD player's output signal. A multisystem TV has the ability to receive and display both PAL and NTSC video signals. A Tenlab video converter would receive a video signal and convert the signal into the desired video standard. So if you wanted to watch a PAL DVD disc and you had only an NTSC television, the Tenlab converter could convert the signal from PAL to NTSC, which would then be viewable on your television.


    Since DVDs are digital are they still PAL or NTSC?

    It's a common misconception that simply because a video format is digital it is no longer PAL or NTSC. All digital video formats (DVD, Mini-DV, DVCAM, etc.) are still based on the PAL, SECAM, NTSC video systems.


    Can I play CDs in your DVD players?

    Some of our DVD players do have the ability to play CDs. Consult the specifications on each model to find one suitable for you.


    Can your codefree DVD players play CD-Rs or CD-RWs?

    A CD-R and CD-RW is basically a recordable CD. However, whether or not a DVD player capable of playing a regular CD can play a CD-R depends on the quality of the CD-R. Some CD-Rs recorded on higher quality CD burners can play perfectly. However, if you used a lower quality CD burner to make your CD-Rs and CD-RWs, then there's a chance they won't play. Also, a CD-RW (as opposed to a CD-R) have lower light reflection, so CD-RWs are even less likely to play. There's basically no guarantee that a CD-R or CD-RW will be playable.


    What is Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE)?

    Recently, the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA) has developed a new system called Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE) which will be included on almost all new region 1 DVD releases. This new technology was created to prevent some codefree DVD players from playing DVD discs purchased in North America. Currently, there is no word on whether or not this technology will be included on other regions.

    Fortunately, this does not affect our own codefree DVD players due to our modification technique. As such, you will still be able to view DVD's encoded with RCE.

    REGION FREE DVD PLAYERS

    If you buy a DVD from one part of the world and wonder if it will play in your player when you get back home? With a region free DVD Player, you would not have to wonder!

    You have got with you that British TV series DVD that you have been after for ages. Now you are back home in USA. You are waiting impatiently to put it in your DVD player and watch the series. Something wrong! The only thing that you can see is the display, "Wrong Region" or words to that effect. You are quite amazed to see that. Is your DVD player not working? Or is the DVD faulty? Which one is it? The box, in which the DVD came in, says that the disc is Region Free, which would mean that it is meant for Region 0 or All Region. Doesn’t it mean that the DVD will play anywhere in the world? Well, good news is, that there is nothing wrong with your DVD player or the DVD disc. The bad news id that you are experiencing the wonderful world of DVD Region Coding or Region Locking as sometimes termed as. Are you asking me, what is DVD Region Coding and why it is needed?

    A Region Free, Region Free, Region Zero or All Region disc is supposed to play on any Region Locked player, but there is that question of compatibility between PAL and NTSC video formats. For example, suppose you got a Region Free DVD from UK and try to play it in a US NTSC player. The DVD will not play, since the disc is in PAL video format. There is a misconception that since the DVD is based on digital format, it matters less if your player plays NTSC or PAL. All digital video formats are based on either PAL or NTSC video systems.

    But what are PAL and NTSC video systems? Let me briefly explain.

    Countries all over the world use one of the three main TV broadcast standards. These three standards are - PAL NTSC and SECAM. But these three standards are incomplete with the other. Take for example the Region Free DVD, which you purchased in UK. It did not play correctly on a US NTSC DVD player because the DVD is in PAL video format. That misconception that I mentioned somewhere in my discussion above, does not hold good and as I said, all digital video formats, including DVD are still based on the PAL or NTSC video systems.

    Let me briefly outline PAL and NTSC systems for a better understanding.

    The first ever colour broadcast came to USA in 1953. This was based on NTSC - National Television System Committee standard. NTSC is being used by many countries in the American continent and as well as in Asia too, in countries including Japan. NTSC runs on 525 lines/frame.

    Phase Alternating Line (PAL) system was introduced in early 1960s and was available in most European countries except France. PAL utilises a wider chanel-bandwidth than NTSC, which provides a better picture quality. This system runs on 625 lines/frame.

    Sequential Couleur Avec Memoire or Sequential Colour with Memory (SECAM) standard was introduced in early 1960s and was implemented in France. SECAM transmits colour information sequentially but uses the same bandwidth as PAL. The standard runs on 625 lines/frame.

    For a better understanding the following is presented:

    NTSC Standard SYSTEM NTSC M Lines/Field 525/60 Horizontal Frequency 15.734 kHz Vertical Frequency 60 Hz Video Bandwidth 4.2 MHz Sound Carrier 4.5 MHz PAL Standard SYSTEM PAL B,G,H PAL I PAL D PAL M PAL N Line/Field 625/50 625/50 625/50 625/50 525/60 Horizontal Frequency 50 Hz 50 Hz 50 Hz 50 Hz 60 Hz Colour Sub-carrier Frequency 4.433618 MHz 4.433618 MHz 4.433618 MHz 3.582056 MHz 3.575611 MHz Video Bandwidth 5.0 MHz 5.5 MHz 6.0 MHz 4.2 MHz 4.2 MHz Sound Carrier 5.5 MHz 6.0 MHz 6.5 MHz 4.5 MHz 4.5 MHz SECAM Standard SYSTEM SECAM B,G,H SECAM D,K,K1,L Line/Field 625/50 625/50 Horizontal Frequency 15.625 kHz 15.625 kHz Vertical Frequency 50 Hz 50 Hz Video Bandwidth 5.0 MHz 6.0 MHz Sound Carrier 5.5 MHz 6.5 MHz

    Similar to multi-system VCRs, DVD players will not convert video standards. A PAL standard DVD player will not accept a DVD disc formatted in SECAM.

    There is a point to consider to end your despair. If you have a multi-system TV, which is able to receive both PAL and NTSC video signals, you can very well watch that DVD you got from UK. You could also use a converter, which would convert a PAL into NTSC and vice-versa. In that way you can watch that DVD from UK, played on a standard NTSC TV, with converter doing all the processing for you. You could very well purchase a Region Free DVD Player, also known as a Multi Region DVD Player or a Code Free DVD Player, with a built in video standards converter.

    The so called regions, that we hear so much about when buying a DVD disc or a player, are catagorised in the following way:

    Region 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada

    Region 2 - Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland

    Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong

    Region 4 - Mexico, South America, Central America, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Caribbean

    Region 5 - Russia (okay, former Russia), Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia

    Region 6 – China

    In a conventional manner, statistics say that, people in Region 1 get to see the DVD first. Region 2 will have to wait another 6 months and Region 3 people will have a year to see their favorite movie on DVD.

    The DVD has brought home entertainment to life. Players and movie DVD discs have been selling like hot cakes through-out the world as prices tumble for both the products. The concept of the Home Theater comes along, with the superior quality of audio visual presented by the DVD. Entire rooms in many homes are kept reserved just for the home theater.. However, with this success of DVD, comes that dirty little secret: Region Coding or the Region Lock.

    Why this coding, you might want to know. Well, what they tell us is it is the way that they wish to protect the copyright. However, another aspect of this Region Coding is surfacing lately. It is perhaps because of price fixing of the DVDs at different regions.

    According to many views, code enforcement is a violation under WTO free trade agreement, which reflects at the competition law. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has taken a serious view to this coding and warned that such coding may violate the Trade Practices Act. A similar ruling has been done by the government of New Zealand. Therefore in practice, the DVD players sold in their countries have to be of Region 0. The Region 0 DVD players are required to incorporate Region 1 to 6 simultaneously, there-by providing the capability to plat any disc, no matter what region it belongs to.
