Below are three sources for code free DVD players, plus a converter
or two.  Quoted from this list and the CALICO list.  I haven't tried
any of them.

Not that I get a kickback from DVDCity or anything, but that's where I
bought our Pioneers and they have a whole section of code-free players
(almost all of which also play both NTSC and PAL):

SMC DVD330S -- $299
Sony DVP-K350 -- $549
Pioneer DV333 -- $349
Pioneer DVC-302 -$579
Pioneer PDVLC10 -$1299
Pioneer DV626d -- $549
Pioneer DVF-727 -$999
Pioneer DV05 -- $799
Pioneer DV434 -- $529
Pioneer DV37 -- $929
Toshiba SD1200 -- $419
Toshiba SD2200 -- $479
Toshiba SD5109 -- $799

Check their site at: http://www.dvdcity.com/ .  They've recently
added the
SMC player - and it is advertised as a converter as well as a
code-free
player (e.g., would play a PAL DVD out to an NTSC TV).  The Sony,
Pioneer
and Toshiba players all require a PAL-compatible TV to display PAL
DVDs.

a unit which reads all region
codes as well as PAL and NTSC and outputs everything to NTSC.

The company is I.N.C. Technologies in Hollywood. Website is

Phone number (323) 512-8730. I purchased 5 of the Infinity DVD model
LD-2060 for $269.00 each plus $25 shipping (for all 5 - I am just 40
miles south of LA so folks further away should expect a larger
shipping charge).
