Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Codefree hack allows playback of PAL Region 2
This is truly one awesome DVD player.  I have bought two from Amazon already (First one cost me $80 and the second $75 after the price was reduced yet again).  I bought this unit after I found a site on the Internet that explained how to set the unit to region free.  I have a large collection of PAL region 2 DVDs from Germany.  Another reason why I purchased this unit was due to its ability to convert PAL signals to NTSC internally.  No need to buy a modified unit or an external converter.  This baby does it on its own.  The converted signal is excellent and surpasses my other units (one has an internal converter and another one needs an external converter).  Definitely one to buy for anyone needing multi-region or PAL/NTSC capability.
