How do I know if my dvd player is multiregion?

loulou41

Please how do I know if I have managed to make my dvd multiregion? Bought tesco value dvd this afternoon. I think I have followed the instructions properly to make it multiregion as it says on SET UP 255. The only problem is I could not play a copy of Rosemary Conley keep fit and copy of some photos I had in a CD. On my cheapp starlogic dvd, I could play them with no problem. I am wondering whether it is possible I have not made it multiregion. Advice please. Thanks

It may not be cpable of playing CDs with photos - not a multi-region problem just not designed to do that.
Did you search for the hack and do what it said?
Is the Rosemary Conley a UK region DVD?

As for proving it - get a non-European DVD

That's assuming it's still the same model - cheap DVD players do get sourced from different suppliers
