To me? Not. But 90% of my DVDs are R1. Sometimes i even find the R3 with better sound reproduction in Low Frequency... but thats me.

question: me balak sana akong bilhin na dvd pero region 2, region unlock naman ang dvd/htib ko, me effect kaya sa pagview sa lcd tv un? im using a pana le8

ment · « **Reply #62 on:** Feb 21, 2009 at 02:25 AM »

before i noticed the difference ...

1. R3 medyo grainy video vs R1's
2. R3 audio tends to have loud special effects sounds / music and weak vocal volume ..... R1 is balanced

ewan ko lang kung ganun pa rin nowadays ...... i think ganun pa din .... last time i bought Constantine R3 .... naka heram ako R1 na Constantine ...... iba ang ganda visually ng R1 IMHO

Dapat ata multi-system din ang player at tv. Kasi ang alam ko PAL kadalasan pag R2.

Hi sir,...

Kahit ang player lang ang multi-system, it should work perfectly...

I tested a DVD from Dubai, R2 ang region code niya, played on my NTSC TV with a multi system player...

Hmmm. Dapat meron sa spec sheet. Pero sa settings pwede baguhin yun. Dati kasi yung Pioneer ko pwede sa i-set sa PAL or NTSC or ATUO.

Generally, it doesn't matter to me if it's R1, R2 or R3. I always go for the fully-loaded ones with better looking cover art/packaging, and the version/release with better PQ and AQ. But I do prefer other regions - particularly R1s - over locally produced R3s mainly due to its superior packaging. Although, I find that packaging of Korean R3s can sometimes rival, if not surpass, that of other regions.

sa sound lang ata sir me difference

hi sir anya, meron difference sa sound but it's between R1 & R2. I got before Black Hawk Down both originals, when I compared the same chapter all ambiance/ background effects were completely gone. I think the audio bandwith was compressed to accomodate the additional multi-language subtitles, whereas only spanish sub. in R1.

chimpanshane · « **Reply #73 on:** Jun 16, 2009 at 10:03 AM »

ako di naman sa nagmamayabang but 100% ng dvd collection was R1..wala kasi ako dvd multiplayer..

achtungbaby · « **Reply #74 on:** Oct 05, 2009 at 05:05 AM »

I don't mind, but given a choice R1 tops.

Kd Jb · « **Reply #75 on:** Oct 26, 2009 at 07:59 AM »

I'd prefer region 1 than region 3. Better packaging and minsan mas marami pa disc included..

dvd_watcher · « **Reply #76 on:** Oct 26, 2009 at 09:54 PM »

well, in my case 95% of my dvds are r3, 5% very few are r1.. and my home theatre is r3 locked. so i deal with r3, which i'm very happy with, i also don't mind having r1 discs kasi i have i multisystem 'cheap' dvd player also.

volrathj · « **Reply #77 on:** Oct 26, 2009 at 11:52 PM »

It doesn't Matter to me if R1 or R3, specially if I really want to watch that dvd and I can't wait for the shipping time upon ordering online.

anya618 · « **Reply #78 on:** Nov 09, 2009 at 08:14 PM »

Mas mahal ang R1, but the quality is topnotch,
I did post before about some negative experiences sa mga R3 releases,
nakakasama lang ng loob kapag naririnig mo ang audio nya at 2.0 lang,
or the video na akala mo VCD ang picture quality,
nadala na akong bumili ng R3, unless naka-indicate na import sya...

On the R2 naman, hindi naman lahat ay maganda, kaya the safest and best choice talaga ay R1 still...

Yeah I agree as long as sinabi na imported yung r3 na release and the same features dun ko lang bibilhin..nadala na ako sa mga r3 yung iba ang panget tlaga parang pirated e..

dpogs · « **Reply #81 on:** Nov 17, 2009 at 06:04 AM »

same goes for me...

kapag may sales bili ako agad.. di ko napapnsin na ang mga sales kadalasan ay mga locally made/distributed dito sa atin.. mostly viva ang gumawa...

bago lang sa hobby na to kaya marami pang lessons na matutunan regarding this hobby....

anya618 · « **Reply #82 on:** Dec 15, 2009 at 11:02 PM »

ask ko lang if meron nang nagkaproblema with r1 dvds not playing on region free dvd players because of Regional Coding enhancement(RCE)?

at_sunset_blvd · « **Reply #83 on:** May 04, 2011 at 07:16 AM »

for Region 1 it's quite better coz of some features, than the ones locally manufactured here in our place, SQ & PQ are also at a better standard w R1 IMHO
