    Yes. It will. The 5001 can be made region free with a simple remote hack. It can also be made to ignore copy protection and gain a 3 hour recording mode by using a firmware update. Check the DVD HACKS section of this site for more details and check out this other website:

    LiteOn makes "international" players pretty much. Only the tuner is hardware set to a certain region.

    PAL/NTSC is not the same as region coding. But the machines plays both NTSC and PAL and region coding can be disabled.
