Region 1 DVDs

Help, brought back dvds as presents for my kids in the belief my player was multi regional, it's not!
Any advice as to what I should do? My hubby not too keen in buying a new player. Any other solution would be appreciated.

TIA

    just type 'muti-region dvd codes' into google and you should get a list of sites that will tell you a code for your dvd player(you put it in using the remote to turn off the region coding)
    hope this helps.

    Most players are multi region, it is usually just disabled. Try typing into Google the name and make of your DVD and include the work unlock or hack, or try one of the many sites that have multi region hacks to unlock your DVD.

    If you can't make your player multiregion and have a pc I would suggest using dvdshrink and dvd43 to make a backup copy. You can choose to remove region coding when you are doing this.
