thanks for your help in advance

Your player will only play DVDs from other regions if it has been modified to do so - this meaning that you, being in the UK, may well have purchased a DVD player that will play only R2 discs - not R1 (US), R3 (China and HK) or R4 (Australasia and Sth America).

Merely having the ability to play both NTSC and PAL formatted discs means nothing other than the fact you will be able to play DVDs from Japan which are still R2 but are NTSC format as opposed to the usual R2 PAL format... I think you will find that most players in PAL regions probably handle NTSC as well.

Hope this helps answer your question.

I have never heard of Goodman players, but you might want to have a look at this forum, perhaps you can find a solution to your problem there ... http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/search...dman&Forum=176
