Hey guys, I have bought "xXx" on DVD from America and obviously it has an American region code but I have a really decent DVD player that has the multi region feature so it can play DVDs with any region code. This is all well and good but the DVD I got has some wierd thing "RCD" or "RCI" or something and it stops American DVDs playing on illegally modified players. Mine isn't illegally modified I just shelled out moere cash to get one with more features. I am just wondering if it will work for sure when it comes in the post? If anyone has any facts on it I wouldn't mind reading them. THANKS:D
Got an NTSC compatible tv? Some do this, but only via one socket (ie, SCART-1).
Thanks, with my DVD player you open the cd tray thing and then press a sequence of buttons and it goes comes up "Multi Region" and works american DVDs but I'm not sure if it works on American RCE ones.
I didn't say they didn't, did I?
I was merely pointing out that a Q-Cube will play any (commerical) DVD in the world

A lot of player support it, whitestripes.
Even selecting region 1 on DVD Region X (PS2) would work.

The Q-Cube has RCE, which would solve this problem...
I want to buy an american DVD so i was wondering if its just your DVD player that has be able to play that region and not your TV as well.

No, but expanding on what Tom said, if your player can change codes to individual codes then usually it will be fine with RCE. If you just put any disc in without being able to choose a region code (i.e. it recognises the code automatically) then you may have a problem.
Best thing to do is to try it and send the disc back to the US if it doesn't work, or sell it to someone will RCE enabled DVD player. You may find that the supplier will not take back a disc because your player is not RCE enabled, so make up some other excuse if it comes to that ;-)

RCE?
You need to make sure your DVD player is set to region 1 only while playing these dvds, and not multigion "0".
RCE basically tries out different regions to find out whether or not you are using a multiregion player. If you set it to region one for this particular disk, it won't know you're using a multiregion machine.
Hopefully.
