Thats an region 1 (ntsc) dvd player unless you have alot of dvds that are in that code it won't play anty way, It was probibly a good thing that you fried it no offence, I don't know why it fried if you used the adapter i would call the adapter company and complain. o ya if you have an warranty on the dvd player call and tell them that it was broke when you bought it or something then send it back they should replace it. About the region codeing american dvd usely are (ntsc) code and europe uesly (pal) code. i dont know why thay do that i think it's because they sell dvd cheaper in europe. hope i helped o ya i have the same dvd player its pretty damn good
