Australia's #1 supplier of multi-region blu-ray players & modifications

All standard major brand Australian blu-ray players will only play region B or non-region-coded blu-ray discs (see global region coding pictures at the bottom of this page). Our chip installation bypasses the region-coding and allows it to play ANY region blu-ray or DVD disc. Permanently.

After modification (chip installation) you player will :
- play all DVD regions - 1,2,3,4,5,6 (Automatic) PAL/NTSC
- play all Blu-Ray regions - A,B,C (Manual Switchable). Typically. push 1 for region A, 2 for B or 3 for C and then power up the player.
- allow you to safely upgrade your player firmware as it becomes available without affecting the multi-region functionality.
- give you access to locally unavailable titles, and save you money by allowing you to import discs from overseas

Note:
All of our players have been chipped and tested, and have the latest firmware installed.
All of our hardware mods and modified players come with a 12 month warranty.
All warranty and out-of warranty service carried out by Gatti Audio Melbourne (Glen Waverley).

Example of a modified Panasonic player below (the chip is the small white circuit board in lower section).

Buyers please note :

If you are sending your player to us for modification, you will need to add $30 for return shipping charges. The player will be returned by registered and insured Australia Post. Contact us for postal details. For New Zealand customers, the shipping is A$75.

For customers in Melbourne, we can arrange pickup and delivery from your premises for a small fee, or, if you are dropping the player off personally (Glen Waverley, Victoria), please call us for details (we're an online store, not a shop) and an estimate of turnaround time (typically 48 hours). Panasonic models can usually be modded within 1 hour.

The modification will void the manufacturers warranty, so we suggest you use your player for a few weeks, by which time most issues occur, and then send it to us to be modified.

We have a 12 month warranty on all players that we supply, and on all modifications.

Payment methods accepted :

- Bank Deposit (preferred)
- PayPal (email me for an invoice)
- Personal or Bank Cheques

Free advice and firmware upgrade CDs available upon request.
