    Australia is Region 4, but all Australian players are unlocked, so are
    region free.

    and some other parts of the world are region 2. As sold a player will
    probably only play the region you are in (USA in your case). As far as
    the region compatibility is concerned many players can be made to play
    back discs from any region. This is called region hacking and is not
    as fearsome as it sounds. Check the list of players and the
    instructions here to make your player region free enter the model an

    you are ok. If not I'd suggest buying a cheap player, I don't know
    about the USA but in the UK DVD players are for sale at less than £20
    which I'd guess is about $30 and can be made region free.

    far as I am aware all DVD players will correctly play either system so
    there should be no problem with that.

    > I am trying to obtain Series 3 of ONEDIN LINE< all I think I can
    get is a VHS from the UK. I don't think that would work, would it?
    But, I guess a
    DVD would be OK, in the US, or elsewhere. Please give
    me the possible address of any concern who can sell a Series 3 DVD.
