Does anyone know if a standard shop bought multi region DVD player will play RCE discs? I'm thinking about getting a new DVD player and I've got 1 or 2 RCE Discs. I thought that if the disc is RCE then it first checks to see if your DVD player will play any other region and if it will then the disc won't work. I could be wrong so I wanted to check first.

If a DVD player is going to have problems with RCE discs it will generally be one of the auto-region sensing ones. My DVD player I have to explicitly set the region (Pioneer 333), so as far as the disc is concerned when it is playing, it is only a DVD player for that region. Some auto-sensing players will allow you to explicitly specify a region and these will typically get around RCE.
