How do you know a player supports RCE?
Someone mentioned this RCE to me a while back. So how do know if your player would support it. Although now im considering forgetting the Multi-regional feature and going for a player such as the Toshiba. Although that would mean never being able to play one of my dvd`s which is region 1.
It`s doing my head in trying to find the right player. lol If Britain was as good at relaeasing DVDs as America then there wouldnt be this need for blimin` multi-regional.

Pretty much the rule of thumb (although by no means definitive) is that if you can manually change the region via a remote control hack (i.e. not just have a player that is multi-region out of the box, or is permanently set to bypass the region code) you should be okay with RCE discs.
This is the option on the budget players. For the more expensive players you are probably looking at getting a `chipped` or modified player from the `expert` companies such as DVD Chips, etc

Ask the man who is selling it to you.
by the way i would buy from one of the expert companies also not the highstreet. as they offer a GT with the player and tend to be quit good price wise also. The only draw back is say a disc is released that wont work on your player because of a firmware problem, will one of these small companies be able to cope with the number of returns?
