Maybe... most modern equipment will operate on 90V - 260V so it's worth checking before buying a voltage converter for it. If the DVD player is 120V, that suggests that it is North American and will play NTSC standard discs. Using it on a 240V region means it is likely that it will be in a PAL zone. THerefore, discs bought locally may not work because of regional codings, because of the difference between PAL and NTSC and because the display may not be able to handle NTSC. Some DVD players will play any standard (NTSC or PAL) and some displays will also handle either standard. A handful of players do not have region codes either. It is worth a little more research before you assume that the DVD player will perform as you hope.

Yes, it can be done, but not very economically. Thus, for practical purposes, the original answer is still correct.
The problem is the frequency difference. This requires a conversion. Their are two common ways to do this.
The first is to convert it mechanically. In this application a 50hertz motor is used to turn the shaft of a 60hertz generator. (A generator is just a motor that has its shaft spun)
The second method is to convert this to DC, and then reconvert it back to AC at the desired frequency.
Both of the above could be costly and might require an engineer, or electrician to implement.
In most cases, it would be cheaper to buy a 120VAC 50Hz equivalent of the device you want to power.

60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
How do you connect a 460V 3 phase motor 60Hz with 380V 50Hz 3 phase supply?
What is meant by antiflicker in campera 50hz and 60hz?
Antiflicker in cameras refers to a feature that reduces the appearance of flickering lights in photographs or videos. The numbers 50Hz and 60Hz refer to the frequency of alternating current used in different regions. Cameras with antiflicker capabilities can adjust their settings to match the frequency and minimize the impact of flickering lights caused by differences in electricity frequency.
Can you run your neon sign of 120v 50hz 60hz 0.6a 7.5kv 30mA in an Australian 240v power outlet?
No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V
Can 220v 50hz CPU computer run 220 60hz power supply?
No
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
What has to be done to connect 220v 50Hz refrigerator to 220v 60Hz power supply?
nothing
Hi I'm a barber. can i buy a transformer that can give an output of 120V and at 60HZ in England. Its for my clippers and trimmers. Is there such thing?
You can get a transformer that converts the UK's 230V power to 120V, but you cannot get a transformer that will convert from 50Hz to 60Hz. Often, US equipment can work, except that they will work hotter and less efficiently on the 50Hz power. Consult your clipper and trimmer documentation - you may find that it will work just fine on 50Hz.
What voltage does the power supply uses in US?
Input would be 120v at 60hz. Standard US wall power.
60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
What is impact ampere in 50Hz motor connected to 60Hz?
What effect will be there on the motor (Induction) output power when a 100kW 50hz motor is connected to a 60hz power supply.
Can you use UK appliances in the us?
Not unless the appliance is rated to be used with the two different power supplies. The US uses 120v, 60 Hz if it plugs into a receptacle, and possibly 240v, 60Hz if it is hard wired. The UK uses 240v, 50Hz whether it plugs in or is hard wired. These two power systems are NOT compatible. You may use a US appliance in the UK, and vice versa, only if the appliance is dual rated, i.e. the appliance says 120v/60Hz AND 240v/50Hz on the nameplate. If the appliance only specifies one power supply, it can only be used on that power supply. If this is the case, you may be able to use a travel adapter to operate the appliance.
Can a 230V 50Hz Rice Cooker used in 220V 60Hz circuit?
Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.
How can you determine if an electric motor is 50HZ or 60HZ if there is no name plate?
One way would be to hook it up to a supply (by itself, with no load) and measure the speed with a contact tachometer. If your supply is 60Hz, and the motor speed corresponded to one of the standard motor speeds, it would be a pretty safe bet you had a 60Hz motor. If the speed was about 20% faster than a standard speed, the motor is probably a 50Hz motor. Or 20% slower if you were running a 60Hz motor on 50Hz For instance, a 1750 RPM 50Hz motor would spin at about 2100 RPM if you ran it on 60Hz.
Will a 115V 60Hz work in a 120V 60Hz power supply?
You don't mention what device, but the answer is probably NO. 50hz and 60hz signals will act differently in reactive components such as transformers, coils, capacitors, etc. Paulev is correct that it would act differently on inductive/reactive devices, especially transformers. The device to be discussed here is the transformer as it is most present in all electronic equipment. Based on theories, a 50Hz transformer will perfectly work on a 60Hz Power system but not vice versa. Assuming the transformer's specs are, P=1kVA, L=1H, R~0 ohm. At 50Hz the impedance will be Z=sqrt(Inductive Reactance=2 x Pi x 50 x L), thus the ampacity (Ip=sqrt(P/Z)) of the magnetic wire at the primary is 1.79A. Using the same steps at 60Hz. The current drawn by the the transformer will be 1.63A which is within the ampacity of the magnetic wire. therefore a 50Hz appliance can be used on a 60Hz supply without any problem.
What will happen when you operate a 50Hz fan on a 60Hz supply?
The fan will physically get warmer and the blade speed will increase.
