Can anybody help me out? It doesn't have to be a brand name one, and I really would like it to be region free. Lisa x

Many are not marked as region free but can be made so by entering codes with the handset. Why region free ?

Basically because you can often get a film cheaper on a different region. Lisa x

Can all players be made region free then? Lisa x

Not completely sure but it is worth asking. Some other members with more knowledge may be able to tell you.

Do you want one that records DVD's and video's? A combined one or...?

Yes Sam, a combi that records both. Lisa x

I think you should find a VCR/DVD recorder you want to buy, then check for the multi-region codes before purchasing. Then, see if the codes correspond to other sites.
