Obviously not.

Instead of bumping the thread every few hours, why not e-mail the guy who wrote the review? Just click on his byline.

As cheap as this player is, I seriously doubt it's multi-region. And even if it is, the review states that it can output to NTSC or PAL monitors. It says nothing of converting PAL to NTSC.

There is a remote that can get around lock-ups (forgotten the name).

It does not convert PAL->NTSC. Some units can be hacked with a special remote to become region free.
