UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS - COMPLETE SERIES (24 DVD SET)*NEW*

Why read this technical jargon?

Not everyone is well versed/educated in understanding what region coding is, in fact, we notice a lot of sellers on eBay not revealing enough on their listings to educate, or inform what the buyer may encounter if something is not compatiable for them. Possible result of this? Unhappy buyers, negative feedback and disgruntled sellers.

MickyOz DVD believes in giving the buyer a transparent view of what region coding is, and will explain in the following paragraphs how it may impact some people, if their system is not compatiable. If you already know about region coding, then there's probably no need to read on, but we insist you do.

What's region coding?

The DVD region code identifies a DVD's compatibility with the players typically sold in a particular region.

The following graphic shows the approximate location of each region.

Region 0 (or "region free") is compatible with DVD players from any region.

The majority of all current titles play only in one specific region unless otherwise noted.

Most of the titles in our listings are either Region 1 (USA, Canada) or Region 2 (UK, Europe) encoded DVD’s. You will require a multi-region DVD player to play these.

The nominated DVD encoding for Australia is Region 4. Many new DVD players sold in Australia are multi-region straight out of the box.

In most cases, you can turn your region 4 DVD player into a multi-region player by pressing a combination of keys on the remote control. Hacks can usually be found on the Internet - try searching for "DVD region hacks" in your favourite search engine, or contact us, we may be able to assist you.

Region 1 discs are intended for use with standard DVD players in North America (Canada and the USA). In most instances they can also be played on compatible "multi-region" DVD players (also known as "chipped" or "region-free" players).

They also require an NTSC-compatible television. NTSC is the standard picture format in North America, and differs from the PAL format adopted in Australia. Region 1 DVD's are usually presented in NTSC format, so you should ensure that your TV is capable of reading the NTSC signal before purchasing Region 1 DVD's.

Most TV's that have been sold in Australia in the last 10 years or so, are NTSC compatiable.

Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE)

Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE) has been added by some film studios (specifically Warner and Columbia) to selected Region 1 DVD's, with the intention of preventing these discs from playing on some multi-region DVD players.

We are therefore unable to guarantee that all Region 1 discs will be compatible with all multi-region players. Please make sure that your player can handle this encoding before ordering, as we are unable to accept any returns due to RCE.

If you are unsure your DVD Player/TV is not able to play/display this particular item in our listing, please contact us! We will not accept returns or refunds if your DVD player/TV does not play/display any of the Region 1 & 2 encoded DVD's we sell.

We have provided this section with as much information as possible to inform you (the buyer) before purchasing.
