Are the region free DVD players advertised from World-Import.com and 220-Electronics.com software modified, or hardware modified? Do these convertered players really play any region DVD on any TV, and do they hold up over time? I am interested in the JVC XV-N670 Multi Region DVD player. World Import and 220 Electronics both sell this converted DVD player.

Why not look at Oppo, safer bet! http://www.oppodigital.com/

Thanks. I checked Oppo digital and their player does not have HDMI 1.3 output, also no PAL to NTSC converter built in. The JVC has 1.3 HDMI and PAL/NTSC converter built in.
