No it can not play R1,I've got a Tosh

You need to have it chipped,If you can do it yourself with a soldering iron (I wouldn't)get chips from Link on 01733 553333 for around £35.

A mate did mine,plays R1 and R2 ok.

Erm, I have a tosh 2109 and it didnt need no chip, it needed a slight sofware chage at the factory and it cost me all of £5 more.

Most dvd players are made to play all regions but the downgrade them.

Some however do actually need hardware chaging.

But my 2109 didnt. It was purely software.
