Are the Toshiba HD-DVD players region coded for SD-DVD?

Shouldn't this be in the player section? Might get more response there.

But to answer the question, I'm pretty sure they are.

Yeah, wrong forum...anyway, there is a region free firmware for the EU and AU HD DVD players.:)

Yep, the american players are region 1 NTSC only. So no PAL either.
The HD-DVD side is region free.

But if your looking for a cheep multi-region player cheek out Oppo at the top of the page.

Yes, their (SD) DVD functions must meet existing DVD requirements.
