I just bought a LITEON DVD recorder and that will play anywhere, in the system menu it actually lists Australia.

No seriously yes TV's Video recorders and players and DVD players and recorders. Most of the cheaper makes will be able to do most systems as they cant afford to make them region specific. The more expensive the unit sometimes the less areas it will be compatible with as the software is specifically designated for one area i.e PAL / I.

Dont forget all dvd players and recoders are programmed to be region specific. THAT IS THE LAW> but certain websites give you the code to make them region free as mentioned earlier in the thread. :beer: :beer: :zzz:
