Under PAL/NTSC conversions, they specifically say "subject to DVD and BD region restrictions". That said, there are hacks to make them region free, like the earlier Oppos.

I see now there are "mods" for what Jack calls out and I know he is well versed in how this all works.

After reading closer it plays BluRay region code A. DVD is region code 1 and all.

From page 5 my Oppo manual bought in the States.

  A quick google search shows that they are available, with the hardware hack already installed. They are about $100 more, which is the price of the mod gear. I have hundreds of imported DVDs, so I'll need multi region. I'll probably get one that's modded in a bit-my Oppo 83 is just starting to go.

  PS. Oppo used to be famous for their region free DVD players, but that's forbidden with Blu-ray.
