Hi all-
Okay, so I got an old (1999) Fisher brand DVD player. Yeah, its cheap. I got it from a friend for free, so its been acceptable until recently.
One time a while back, I think it was some Adam Sandler film, and the DVD wouldnt play. Complained about me trying to play a region 1 disc in a non region 1 player. So, I got fed up, ditched it for a VHS tape of the same movie.
Last night, rented bad boys 2. Same thing! So I looked at the back of my player, has the little region icon with a 1 in the middle. Region 1- america. Where I is. Makes sense. Disc says- region 1. What the heck?
I played lost of other DVDs on this thing, so I looked at the cover jackets in the rental store, all non region sensitive discs.
So 2 questions- Anyone know if I can correct this issue on my player? And, what should I look for to avoid this in the future?
Its the most ridiculous anti piracy scheme ever concocted, honestly.
Thanks in advance guys.
