Page 1 of Toshiba SD210 - Multi-region

A little while ago I asked about multi-region DVD players and how they might be affected by the RCE coding appearing on some discs.

The answer was that, provided you have a manually selectable region multi-region player then you`re OK.

But, I`m on the verge of purchasing a Toshiba SD210 which I notice has its multi-region capability based on a chip rather than a remote hack. I assume this means it automatically detects what region the disc is and plays it accordingly but is this likely to give me a problem with discs with RCE protection ??

The main reason I ask is that sites like www.cdwow.com advertise DVDs at sensible prices but state that you need a multi-region player. Seeing as the CDs I ordered from them came from Hong Kong I`m guessing that the DVDs might originate from the same region and, quite frankly, I wouldn`t want to have to send one back there if it didn`t play properly.

Is RCE going to become more prevalent or is it mainly region 1 discs that are affected.

Should I just stop worrying and get the Tosh ??

Yes, go buy it ;-)

I don`t know about anyone elses. But the tosh I sell will play RCE discs.

All the best,

Andrew.
