Hi,
Thought I'd share this as it helped me and may just help one or two people in future.
I've got a multi-region DVD player than we've played Zone 1 and Zone 2 previously without issues. Yesterday, I rented a Zone 1 which my machine would not play. I didn't quite understand as previous Zone 1 DVD's had worked.
I Googled and out that Hollywood wanted to counter all the multi region players on the marketand have a new system called RCE (Regional Code Enhanced).
Basically what would happen previously is the DVD would check if you DVD player could play the corrosponding Zone, and play it. With RCE it checks whether your machine will play any other zones and if it does, it won't play.
The way I got around it is set my machine from multizone, to a Zone 1 machine, watched the DVD and then changed it back to multizone.
Just FYI
