Reading and converting should be kept in mind. My old Pioneer 525 will
read PAL discs and spit the PAL out, but without a PAL compatible
monitor, it is useless. In my experience, many of the really
inexpensive off-brands; Apex, Cyberhome, etc.; often will convert PAL to
NTSC and are often configureable to All Region Players. These features
are listed as selling points in the store, but with some research on the
net, you will find that there are commonly available players that will
do these these. -joe
