Some DVD players can be set to play all regions by a simple code entered in the remote, or by flashing a different firmware that you can download. Some need hardware modifications that are pretty much the cost of a 2nd DVD player (or more), and some can't be changed at all. If it's an important feature to you, make sure you look up that info about any player before you buy it. They are not all equal in that regard. I still have an older 2nd Philips DVD player because I was able to change it to all regions as well as play both PAL and NTSC. I don't have many DVDs from other countries, but a few so it's important to me.
