Please forgive me if this isn't DVD-A related. Or where should I turn to for serious advice on this topic?I came upon this reviewer of a concert DVD at Amazon.com who wrote that this store (CC or Radio Shack) had a cheap DVD player of the Polaroid brand (!), that was region-free.
Now my needs for this are fairly limited, since I am seldom interested in European-only format DVDs... But that WOULD be interesting to us, for occasional viewing only.
So, if such cheap wonder does exist for North America, how would a Euro film look on it?

"Region-free" is almost meaningless if you don't have the ability to display PAL-encoded video. Most TVs in the US are hard-wired for NTSC only. In most cases, the player must also be able to do on-the-fly conversion of PAL to NTSC.There are a number of players that can do this, but this fact is generally not noted in the two-sentence descriptions that you usually find in catalogs.
The El Cheapo player from Wal-Mart does all regions and converts PAL to NTSC. Cyber Home model.Buy it then search on the net like "DVD hack" "all region". There's a site to show you how to push a sequence of buttons on the remote to switch it to region zero. Can a corn, piece a cake. Good enough picture and sound.ET
