Page 1 of is my pioneer444 multi region

my player gives me access to change the region codes but when i put a region 1 disc in the wrong region code comes onscreen it then plays region 2 discs as normal

I have a pioneer444 multi region / Macro Free. Tried recording to VHS but is wasnt very good. So I fixed the settings to PAL, region 2 manually. Problem solved.. Make sure you have a good RGB scart cable aswell. Gold plated and shielded.. about £20 for a 1.5 to 2 metre cable.

If you`ll never play anything but region 2, then set it to region 2.

You can`t record other region codes (i.e. region 1) to VHS anyway. Unless your VCR is NSTC compatible. Also affected by the compatibilty of your TV aswell..

the problem is i have just got a region 1 dvd disc and cant change the region no. of my player when i follow the directions in the manual it allows me to access all of the codes but wont play the disc it has region 2 marked on the back of the player
