CD's from Russia work in USA?

Question

for the DVD market there are different regions where they will play in some countries, but not in others. Hence: a DVD from Canada will play in the USA, but it won't over in other countries.

Are CD's the same way, or can I expect a CD from Russia (american artist) to play over here?

Answer 1

ya, only VHS' from Russia don't work here

Answer 2

Yes, unless it's a bootleg of low quality or PC-burnt CD, which would not work on some older CD-players. It does not matter, from which country it is, but in Russia the percentage of low quality CDs is higher, that's all, but if you pay $ 4-5 for a CD that costs more than $ 12 here, that's what you get.

Answer 3

Answer 4

CDs are the same. I grew up in the UK, and now live in Canada. The CDs I brought in the UK with me all work on equipment that I purchased here.

Answer 5

Great question. I don't necessarily have a complete answer, just speaking from experience. I've purchased CD's from abroad and never had any technical problems. However, I too have had problems playing DVD's and VHS videos.

Answer 6

Why not! They use the same equipment as we do - it's all made in China , right?
