    I used it alot before i got a region free player and its very good , does exactly what it says on the tin.

    You just boot the cd , choose region then stick in you DVD, didnt notice and loss in picture or audio quality and it also works on RCE encoded dvd's which is an added bonus.

    Mooman - you should be so lucky. Do you have microsoldering gear and experience of spot-soldering sub-millimetre-scale components? :)

    Probably because his TV isn't compatible with NTSC signals (We use PAL signals). Is the PS2 using a Scart lead or standard phono lead?

    I have Region X too and it does the job, though I found I had to restart it the odd time as it seemed to crash. Don't use it much now since I bought a standalone multiregion DVD player.
