I have a Sony DVD player that handles all of my Region 1 flicks and TV series, and previously had a Panasonic All Region player that worked perfectly ... that is, until it gave up the ghost after about 4 or 5 years. Panasonic, alas, no longer sells that model, so I had to look elsewhere. This Philips does the job, although it plays some recent UK and Continental TV series in an abbreviated view, rather than full screen. (I solve that by playing such on on off-brand British machine.)
If I have one small complaint ... and it is a small one, considering the enormous advantages and the very very modest cost ... is that there is no >>FF (Fast Forward) button on player or remote. You can do jumps from one scene to either the next or the previous, but once in that scene you need a certain level of Zen acceptance to sit through many minutes of material to get to the part you're looking for.
Ah, well, as the Zen Master has it: "Life sucks, then you die!"
