If it is game, yes you can; If it is movie, no you can't

You can get a region-free DVD copy and play it on your DVD player. You can get a DVD copy without region code using Leawo DVD Copy. This tool can deal with different kinds of protected DVD discs.

SOURCE: DVD region code lock unlocking on PS3

Hi Lleuclid,

With the indulgence of yalmer...

To my knowledge, PS3s are basically region free, unfortunately it is the TV (more often) that can not display the video. Australia and Singapore both are using PAL (576i) system while Region 4 is using NTSC (480i), completely different color system. Hence the TV where the PS3 is connected to should be capable of either PAL or NTSC. Alternately, most PAL TVs can play 480i (NTSC) if and only if they’re hooked up using SCART RGB connector.

On to your other concern of making a Daewoo DV-900 region free, pls try below steps:
1.Open tray
2.With Control push 8 2 8 6 and 0
3.It will display on screen REGION FREE
4.Close tray
5.Ready

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Cannot play dvds as they do not matcth the local code ?

This sounds like the DVDs are from outside the UK. The UK uses Region2 dvds and the USA and others use Region1. It is possible to get dvd players that play both or use your computer to play them. It should say on the disc or box what Region it is.
