All of our CDs should be compatible with CD players worldwide.
For DVDs, you will need to check the PAL or NTSC broadcast format and the Region encoding on the title, to see if this is compatible with your specific player. Player support can depend on the country of intended use.
Not all of our video and DVD titles are supplied in both PAL (Europe) and NTSC (North America) broadcast formats. Some are in one or the other format, and some are worldwide (dual format). See each title's catalogue page for specific format information.
We are unable to provide any guarantee that our PAL format DVD titles will play on specific machines outside of Europe. Check your DVD player or computer software to see if it supports PAL or NTSC format for the title you wish to order.
Please note that we cannot accept returns of opened, non-faulty DVDs which are not compatible with your player.
Many DVD players available worldwide are dual format and will support both PAL and NTSC formats. For other players:
DVDs may contain Region codes which can limit the playback of discs, depending upon the geographical area where your player is produced. DVDs without Region codes should play on any player.
