No.All you need in a DVD player can be found for between $170 and $230.You can spend more if you want but,it's not really neccessary.Quote

Exactly what is multi-system equipment -- simply a DVD player (and a TV?) that can play either NTSC or PAL? So what I need is a player and TV that can play both AND are region free?
Yes.That is exactly the case except that you don't need a multi-system TV if you only want to watch both PAL and NTSC DVD's as long as you get a DVD player with a PAL/NTSC convertor built in.While you're at it,it makes sense to get one that is also region free or can easily be made region free.Here is a site where you can look up the region unlocking codes by model # of the DVD player : [www.videohelp.com] It does take them a little while to come up with the codes for brand new models but,if you look around the web,you'll find the code you're looking for.
Is such equipment expensive?
