I purchased a Sampo 611 for my personal use at home and we love it. I
also just purchased the current equivalent model for use in with my
student teachers and methods classes. It is a Sampo 612, and it was less
trouble for this model than for mine to remove the region checking so
that it plays all regions (BTW Region 1 is the US and Region 2 is
Europe).

These players both take the PAL video from the DVD and output NTSC for
display on standard US televisions and monitors. I paid $127 at eBay for
my 611 and we paid $96 plus shipping to some place in Arizona for the
612.

Just enter Sampo 612 on Google and you will find lots of sources.

Cheers,

Most European DVD's are in a format other than that used in the US.
Does
anyone know how to get a fully-featured European DVD to play here in the
U.S.  By fully featured, I'm particularly interested, naturally, in the
multiple language and subtitle settings.  I reckon we cold buy
Euro-equipment, but barring that...?
