I've just bought a new DVD recorder which is manufactured in the US but for using here in the UK and mine will not play American DVDs and there is no way of altering the region in it.

Check your dvd player instructions to see if you can alter you settings to accept the US format. Perhaps the dvd player is already multi regional ?Check your book.

Only if your DVD plaayer is region free.
Most can be "unlocked" or "hacked" to make themm region free using a code on the remote.
Use Google, search for your DVD player + hack + region free

DVDs come in regions. USA and Europe are different, but you might have a multi region player. You'll have to check

I have purchased DVDs from all over the world, including the U.S.A. They play on my DVD recorder (Sony RDR-HX510, multi-region from new) with no problems at all.
As for the alleged PAL/NTSC problem - unless your TV is very old, it's irrelevant. Most modern TVs can display NTSC discs as well as PAL.

No. Both countries use different TV color systems. The U.S. system is called NTSC; the UK: PAL. Both systems have different aspect ratios, and frame-rates.
I'm aware of multi-region dvd players, and I'm not even sure if that will work. I know they play any region code, but do they play both TV systems? Plus, do you know weather or not your dvd player is even multi-regional?

You'vr got to have regiona free (ot multi-region) DVD player. Most players in Europe are, or can be made region-free.

Nope unless its multiregion...

You can also copy it onto your pc then on dvd and i will work as region 2. americas are region 1.
