My DVD player suddenly stopped reading Region 1 disks. It is designed to read them and has worked just fine for over the past 2 years. It gives and error when you put the disk in about not being able to play this disk for your region. The first time I noticed it when after I tried to stick in a Netflix disk. Specifically, it was Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Now only my DVD ram discs work properly that I had recorded earlier TV shows work.
