Answer 1

DVD players work only with the region codes they are intended to work with. Hacking the DVD player voids the warranty and a lot of such hacks don't work either or work improperly.

Ideal is to buy a DVD player with your region code or a multi-region player which plays all regions. Another word of caution- when buying a multi region player, check the quality of playback with some of your own discs (of your region code).

NTSC is a format which has to be available on your TV and discs for all to play normally. This is not a very big problem now a days since a lot of TV and DVD players support both NTSC and PAL.

Answer 2

No, but there are sites which give codes you can enter through your remote to make your dvd player region code free.

Answer 3

Just adding to above answer, unlocking the regions voids your warranty.
