Oh, boyohboy, does that ever make me wince in sympathy!
About a decade ago, I had something similar happen, involving an embroidered
linen coif. The embroidery was done in red silk, and about the 5th time it

I agree with Suzi - it should tell you in the manual that came with your player if it plays 'all regions'. If you don't have the manual try phoning the company that makes it to find out (and yes, like Adele said you will need to find out if it can play PAL and NTSC dvds too).

Thankyou so much for all the advice and suggestions. It feels so much better
that there might be a way to sort things out. As my knowledge of Chemistry

My recommendation? DVD players are cheap and relatively light. Get a cheap
one and have a friend from the US ship it to you, that way you will be covered,
instead of trying to figure out DVD coding. Someone on the East Coast could
probably get it to you cheaper than I could, but if you want m

I ran into this a couple of times.
The coding is sometimes specific to the region of the world you live
in.
* Region 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada
* Region 2 - Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa,
Greenland
* Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong K

You poor thing--how frustrating! I second the suggestion of RIT color

I got dye out of cotton with Rit dye remover, I don't know if it's the same
