Gnerally, ans. to above is NO Check the DVDs you have or buy. At the back of the DVD cover/Case you may notice one of this: Region: 1, 1&2, 0 etc Region code: 1 or 2 or 6 etc There may be a small world/globe symbol and within the Globe, you may see 1 or 2 or 0 etc What the above code no. stands for see the list below. If it has '0' as code then it is code free i.e it can be used anywhere in the world (not always though).
