I'm not sure whether my earlier message would have made sense to any not familiar with the subject so to clarify.
When TV's originally started to be produced they used a coding system with the initials NTSC (don't ask me what they stand for). In this case the coding system is basically determing, in simple terms, which way the electron gun or rather magnets direct the beam and the frequency at which the electron beam travels across the screen. The UK, Australia and other countries waited for a while, and a new coding system was introduced called PAL (again don't ask what PAL stands for). PAL I'm told is superior to NTSC but that was in England so I won't swear as to the veracity of that statement. Anyway the different systems is why US videos would not play on UK TV's. Some modern TV's/videos will play both PAL and NTSC - they automatically switch modes. Regarding playing various zone DVD's - as I said I'm not sure whether the PAL/NTSC would be a confounding factor. For more information on the differents zones Amazon does have a fairly good blurb on it.
