Will our DVD player work?

Re: Will our DVD player work?
Hi
Just wondering. We bought a little DVD player about 2 years ago. Our children have a lot of favourite films to bring. We know our TV won't work out there but will our player connect to Aussie TV (and work?)
Also what about DVD's bought in UK? Do they have to be region 4 to work in Aussie DVD player?
Cheers,
V

Re: Will our DVD player work?
Just been into Good Guys in Brisbane cos my dvd player has finally breathed its last. The ONLY region free they do is $29 All their expensive stuff is region-tied.
I asked him what happened to Region-free and he reckons they are phasing them out........
The salesman did say that if I bought an Aus Region one I could unlock it with the "universal unlock code of L004" but as thats contrary to everything i've read about having to go online and find the right code for the player I took that with a pinch of salt. If I'm wrong and there now IS a universal unlock code I'll go back and get something flasher but for now $29 will do nicely. I've had problems in the past possessing one of very few dvd players that couldn't be unlocked by anyone anywhere.
