Hi guys, need some help here in playing DVDs from UK. How come the pioneer 696 dvd player does not play DVDs from UK? Settings? The Philips dvd player plays it easily. tnx!

cound be the regional codes of your dvd player. or maybe your philips one is region free when you got it.
you can do a search on the web to see how you can turn your pioneer dvd player in to a region free one.

browse thru the manual of your 696, theres an instruction on how to change region settings

You don't need yo buy new player... search online or pioneer service center to change the region setting of the unit. I got my Philips dvd player and didn't play region 1 Dvd, I brought back to the shop and  took only 5 mins. to set code to all region. Good Luck...
