i have a few region free dvd players and take them everywhere and watch dvd's from many regions.


edit:
oh... just read your post more clearly. yeah... you can't play a PAL dvd through a region free dvd player on an NTSC tv as far as i know. the video formats have to be the same or you need a multi system tv.
