If it IS Zone 2 only, you may be able to punch in a code to make it multi-region (google DVD zone/region hacks). Or you could get it chipped by a specialist store. Or go for a new multi-region player...
As a note if you copy a DVD (whatever region it is) using clonedvd 2 and AnyDvd it will make it Region 0, which in effect is region free and will play on any dvd player.
