Couldn't have been any better
I just got this for Christmas and I can't tell you how pleased I am. I literally took it out of the box, plugged it into my 6 year old, not HDMI compatible TV and it worked perfectly immediately without any problems at all. I tried some blurays and they looked incredible, even on my old TV.

And yes, it is all regions! Just make sure you get it from All Region World. I lived in Australia for a few years and have quite a collection of Australian and American DVDS and they all work perfectly.

I am literally shocked. I have never had an electronic that worked amazingly well right out of the box with no problems whatsoever. And the price is amazing! I can't believe it can do all it does for under 0. I won't need to buy a new media player for many many years.

Get it. It does everything!

Exactly As Hyped, Plays All Region DVD's
This product is exactly what I was looking for. A Blu-Ray Player that also can play All-region DVD's. The sound and video quality are excellent. I haven't yet tried all the extra available features, I bought this mainly for watching Blu-Ray DVD'S as well as my international DVD's. The lights on front of the unit are bright though. To me, it's well worth it to pay the extra amount for this version of this JVC product plus remember it includes the free HDMI cable which is approximately a .00 value in itself. I got mine from All Region World (Amazon seller). Be careful, other sellers may be advertising this product as an all-region player but are selling the North American version instead, see the other reviews. I am very pleased with my purchase from All Region World. Although mine arrived without the HDMI cable as advertised, All Region World was quick to send me one after I contacted them about it.
If you do not need an all-region player than the slightly lower costing product of the same JVC model is probably going to be ideal for you. I don't understand why JVC didn't market the two different versions with separate model numbers, very strange in this regard.

NOT an all region player
This may or may not be a good Blu Ray player, but I bought it for both its Blu Ray and "all region" playback capability.

Contrary to the listed specifications, it is a "region 1 only" player and I've had to return it for a refund.

Amazon needs to change the listed specifications.
