Frequently asked questions and solutions

We'll explain in FAQ format what you may be concerned about before purchasing a portable DVD player.

Q: Aren't smartphones and tablets enough?

Q: What exactly does region free mean?
A: DVDs are divided into six regions around the world, and most DVD players can only play DVDs from the specified region. The Aestiquo PD101's region-free function allows you to play DVDs from any region, including Japan (Region 2) and North America (Region 1).
