New Zealand Adventure/Secret Series

That may well depend on whether ot not it has also been coded to play on Region 2 as well. That set specifically states R4 so there is no guarantee it will play. Some players will allow you to switch regions BUT only a certain number of times, unless you have a multi-regional player. After that number of times has been reached you are left with a player that will only play the last region you switched to. If it happened to be a region other than '2' then your Region 2 discs won't play.

I bought the 1970s FF series on DVD in the UK (Region 2) to send to my sister in Australia and they played absolutely fine on her DVD player (Region 4). I don't know if it works the other way around, but I'm guessing it should.

May be worth reading the 'ifs' and 'buts' discussed HERE regarding DVDs. It might be quite a few years old but I doubt much has changed.

Well, it seems to be a suck it and see affair. I have an unmodified UK Sony 4k blu ray player. All six Australia dvds I have bought in the last ten years have played and still play on it. It won’t play Region 1, but 2 and 4 work fine.

It sounds like you may possibly have the same Sony (UBP-X700) 4K Blu-Ray Disc Player as I have. which I bought in 2019. I have never tried, or ever had the need to try, anything other than Region 2 and of course Region 0 on both that or the ordinary Sony BD players I also have. As you say, it seems like suck it and see.

You could stop worrying about DVD players and simply tune into YouTube!
