I read the Wikipedia BluRay article:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray
I learned 2 interesting facts : there are only 3 region codes for BluRay versus 8 for DVDs.
70% of BluRay releases are not region coded!
So the problem of dezoning the D-Jix really concerns the DVD section not BluRay.
These players require 2 lasers, red at 650nm for DVD and violet at 405nm for BluRay,
so it's really 2 machines in one.
Another interesting quote from Wikipedia :
Unlike DVD region codes, Blu-ray region codes are verified only by the player
software, not by the optical drive's firmware.
But i guess this applies to computer standalone BD drives, not to portable players
With built-in screens.
If this search ends up fruitless, i'll just stock up on standard DVD portable players
Of a name brand such as Philips and forget BluRay. I actually have very few BluRay disks.
