I wonder if anyone can help. I`m in Hong Kong at the moment, and there are some incredibly good deals on portabel DVD players. All the shop owners claim that all Hong Kong DVD players are region free.
BUT - some of the portable players cannot play PAL discs as the screens do not support it.
I`ve had loads of conflicting advice, as some just want to make a sale, so I was wondering if anyone out there knows for sure.
My impression at the moment is that the new Sony FX-DV will play PAL and NTSC discs and I`ve been told that all SHARP portables will also.
Can anyone give me any advice ? It`d be most appreciated.
