| | Posted: | | | | Last night I watched The Bank Job again (Jason Statham) on my new Sony BDP-S560 blu-ray player. And after I watched it, I had to go on profiler to tick off that I've watched it again. And I saw the regioncode in profiler was set to A. Hmm since my Sony player is plain B I had to change the regions so it would be correct in profiler. So to make certain I used my Panasonic DMP-BD50 multiregion player to verify the regions. I Locked it on region B, got "Mismatch between regions" screen.. The same when I locked it on region C, but locked at region A it played as it should. I also tried another plain region A in my Sony, but got mismatch... So how come The Bank Job plays correctly in a plain region B player, and not in a multiregion that's locked on B? Something fishy about this...  | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | I am no expert in electronics, benty. but what you are describing sounds to me like perhaps your new BDP-S560 has an automatic Region adjustment. Which would mean it read the region A coding and adjusted itself accordingly.
I just read the specs and features on it and they weren't helpful.

| | Posted: | | | | Maybe it detects the presence of PAL/NTSC content or 1080/50i and 60i rather than the region coding itself. Just a guess... | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | That's a good point Voltaire, I believe the HD standard is a universal one, or let's hope so anyway.  Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Almost. For material that has not been encoded in 1080p24fps (mostly video-based instead of film-based), there is still the distinction in frame rate (50 vs 60 fps). The vast majority however is 1080p24fps, which is indeed universal. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

HD content isn't PAL or NTSC encoded though... No, but it is sometimes encoded in 50 or 60 Hz interlaced, and has SD bonus content and/or menus. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |
