The DVD region for the UK is region 2. This means that DVDs sold in the UK are assigned region code 2, which is also used in Europe, Japan, and other selected parts of the world
. Region 2 DVDs are designed to be played on DVD players manufactured for that same region, and they are typically in PAL format, which is different from the NTSC format used in the USA
. If you want to play a UK DVD in a different region, you may need to use a region-free DVD player or modify your existing DVD player to be region-free
