Commercial DVDs normally have a region code embedded in the data. The code identifies where the disc was sold. Similarly, DVD players have the same type of code.
If the codes match, the disc will play. If they are different, the player will report an error and the disc won't play.
The restriction is a commercial one and is in place to prevent discs from one market being distributed and used in other regions. North America is covered by region 1 while Europe uses region 2. Discs from region 2 will not normally play on a region 1 player.

only if ur DVD player is codefree & supports PAL dvds. usually a DVD player sold in the us only accepts rc1 dvds.Australian dvds are RC4. and PAL.

Will a UK DVD player connect and work in the US?
There are several things that are different between UK and US television equipment. A UK player normally runs on 240V. Some will also work at 110V but not all. You may need to obtain a 110V to 240V converter. Next, UK players will not generally play US DVDs because each disc has a region code built in. If the region code of the disc is different to that of the player, the disc will not play. Therefore, only expect a UK player to play UK discs. The television standards are different in the two countries. Some but not all US televisions will handle UK video signals that use a different frame rate and different color encoding system. Lastly, UK television has been using widescreen format images for two decades. In the US, standard definition television has remained 4 : 3 viewing ratio with the 16 : 9 format only being introduced with HD. Playing a standard definition widescreeen signal to a US television may result in a distorted image without the means to adjust the aspect ratio. With these in mind, only consider taking a UK DVD player to the US if you need a means of playing a UK disc collection. If it simply to avoid purchasing another player, the hassle of setting up a UK player in the US far outweighs the cost saving.

Will the sony dvd/vcr combo play burned dvds?
The DVD/VCR combo will play burned DVDs assuming three things: 1) that the DVD itself is compatible with the player, 2) that the region encoded on the DVD is compatible with the player, and 3) that the file type burned to the DVD is compatible with the player. DVDs come in several different formats (DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW). The types of DVDs the player is capable of playing will be listed somewhere on the DVD player itself. Check to make sure the DVD you are burning matches one of these. Secondly, DVD players are coded for different regions of the world. Those sold in the US are coded to play Region 1 DVDs or are coded for universal playback. Check to see which region your DVD player is coded for and make sure the DVD you are trying to play matches the region. Finally, some types of files may not play on your DVD player. Check to see that the file type you are burning to DVD can be played on your DVD player. If it cannot, there are programs online that can convert file types to a playable
