A:
The BD-H5100 is a multi-room player.
Due to copyright limitations and industry attempts to thwart piracy, Region "A" for Blu-Ray discs and Region 1 for DVDs is possible. The limitations for playing content from other regions is built in the disc, rather than the player. If the disc prohibits specific regions, the player will comply. If the disc allows multiple regions, the player will comply. The copyright owner sets the limits and region limitations for the disc.
Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.
