on campus; a small but growing collection of DVD's in the multi-media
library. There is also a Film Night at the Faculty Club weekly
during the term.
Q: Should I bring a DVD player with me or buy one there?
A:DVD players are coded for a single region
(usually the region that you bought it in). There are no true
multi-region models. If you buy one here, you can take it to
another country where they will decode it to allow you to play
DVD's from all regions. It might be possible to decode a machine
that newcomers bring with them, but local technicians may not
be familiar with those models nor have the codes to decode them.
