Is there another way of playing these DVDs in the U.S.? There have been discussions of this in the past on this list before, so check the archives. I recommend http://www.zonefreedvd.com/ We got the Sampo DVE-612, a DVD player that is "code-free" (would play DVDs from any region and not lock into any one) which plays both NTSC and PAL DVDs on my NTSC TV -- as well as MP3 CDs. All for $300 plus shipping. Cheers, Margo -- Margo Burns 603-229-4666 [log in to unmask] http://www.sps.edu Director of The Language Center, St. Paul's School, Concord, NH
