DVP5140 Unlock

Some of the things we want to watch are… region 2 *only*. Grr!

Here’s a cheap DVD player ($41 at Amazon - and with Amazon Prime, it was delivered free!), that can play discs from any region. It also can play PAL movies on my NTSC tv. The DVD player *is* cheap - the remote is a peice of crap, and the surround sound output is coax only, no optical. But, it does seem to work, and for the price it was worth a gamble for me.
