Usually , NTSC is associated with Region 1 discs( US and the americas etc. ) and PAL is associated with Region 2 discs ( europe etc. )

Region 2 and NTSC is a bit strange .... might be a mistake !

Usually to play region locked NTSC you would need a DVD player that is region free/unlocked and can correctly handle the format.

All but the cheapest of DVD players and TV's should be able to handle the NTSC format side of things , the region thing depends on the player.
