I don't know the specs on that player, but what you are talking about is highly important. If they DVD player won't convert the signals, then it's pretty much useless. You can check out www.epinions.com to read what other people thought of different DVD players and the like.Forgive my technical inexpertise. Will this just hack the region code, or the format as well? In other words, if I bought the player and installed the hack: would this unit then play a PAL formatted Region 2 DVD on an American NTSC TV? www.regionfreedvd.net is also a good site to do some research on and cross refrence with epinions.

I am a PAL thinking Region 2 kind of guy trapped in the body of an NTSC Region 1 geriatric.

IT WORKS--perfectly. Tested with a Region2 PAL and a REgion 3 NTSC. Excellent!! Now the region/format barrier will plague me no more. Thank you.NOTE: I am not sure if this topic should be posted in this area but seeing how I promised said information at last night's wonderful Casa Bryce get-together, I am going to give it go anyway. Please feel free to move, scold, or both.

The more that people can play their DVD's region free the more redundant the whole regional concept will be.
