APEX should be good for all. But other Branded like Pioneer, JVC, won't unless they are of Asian model.

Actually UK is region 2, but PAL nontheless. Nearly all DVD players will play PAL and NTSC disks but many output the signal type that matches the disc format. So unless your TV can handle PAL you may end up with a black and white picture/vertical scrolling or no picture at all. I don't know the apex player but some DVD players can be configured to output all discs as PAL or NTSC regardless of the disc format. Take a look at your players manual/options menu, you might get lucky!
