The only way to ensure that a DVD player can play all regions is to buy a region free DVD player. They are available in Hong Kong (and many of these units are imported, gray market, into the US.) Also, many players can be hacked to be region free.
If you want to try to hack your current machine, check your owner's manual (or better yet, check the owners manual posted on the manufacturers website) - on my polaroid portable dvd player, it listed how to do it for anyone to see. just a simple code with the remote.
