Unlucky mate, they work fine on my Panasonic. Is it a problem with every
disc in your boxset? Or just the first disc? I wonder if it could actually
be a scratch or something rather than a region problem...

Like someone else said - could be your Tosh has lost its multiregion status
and needs resetting somehow?

Where'd you get the boxset from?
