No. Although most DVD players have a switch to choose between NTSC and PAL modes, some cheaper ones, as well as other devices like game consoles, do not. Also, even if the device can display on a PAL television, the encoding of the video and the region coding of the disc vs. your player may prevent proper playback.

If you change your DVD player to be region free and you get a DVD that is region 2 will it play or will the DVD have to also be region free?

Europe is region 2 for DVD and Bluray disc encoding. Most region 2 discs will play without a problem in a UK player. Note that there is a facility to add a sub region to the code, so dividing Europe into smaller regions. It is rarely, if ever used, but technically, it is possible to further restrict the use of discs from the remainder of Europe in the UK.

How do you play burned DVDs on a DVD player?

AnswerYou have to check the specifications of the DVD player when shopping for one. The specifications or feature description of DVD player will tell if it is compatible with DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW. The last 4 are different types of common burned DVDs. If these are listed in specifications or box or the product, the DVD player should play these DVDs. Other point to note is the format in which data or movies are stored on the burned DVD. DVD players may be region specific and e.g. may only be able to play NTSC Region 1 type discs. Some players can play both NTSC, PAL and are available (or can be made region free). If you have stored movies in AVI or DIVX format, please also check if the DVD player can play DIVX.
