In Reply to: Japan versus USA dvd playback posted by chris e. on December 11, 2001 at 00:06:20:
Japan is region 2, but is NTSC and the same voltage as the US. I live in Japan and play US discs on a Japanese region-free machine.Europe is also region 2, but uses PAL, so I can't play european discs on my Japanese machine.
So if you buy a Japanese DVD player, just make sure its region-free or can be hacked to play region 1 disks. It will plug in the wall and play NTSC no problem.
Pioneer and Panasonic players can generally be modified to play region 1 disks, but it costs. Many others such as Toshiba or Hitachi often have secret keypress-combinatiions to 'unlock' them to play different zones.
