  1. Excuse ignorance but I have a Sony HXD870 DVD recorder but am unsure whether a USA imported DVD will play on it?

    I'm guessing you are outside of the USA?

  3. A region 1 DVD will not play on a region 2 DVD player/recorder. You'll need to rip and and make it region free.

    Sony and Samsung DVD and BD players/recorders of all types are the most difficult in the world to unlock. Do not be surprised if The Mariner's link does not work on yours. Typically only Sony players sold in Australia can be unlocked for region free DVD play. You'll have to invest in buying an All In One remote and even if you do everything the link says, it still may not work.

    You can rip the DVD to your PC and reburn it as region free (ripping removes the region code, so reburning it will be region free). There's not a 100% guarantee, but more likely than not your Sony recorder can probably play a region free NTSC DVD without any issues.
