Thank you, but it doesn't.

I DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO HACKING. I don't want to take the risk I might not be able to
do it or it won't work for me and I am then stuck with a piece of electronics that is not
what I wanted.

As I said, I want something that WORKS. I want a VCR/DVD combo that is region-free,
which I can just reasonability easily hook-up to my TV set -- and that is about all I
have to do.
