Will a Toshiba HD-XA1 play a Jap import HD-DVD?

I have quite a few Japanese titles and all play happily on my US XA1.I should have known that, cheers fellas.
Both PlayHD and the people advertising on Ebay are wrong. Only Blu Ray has region coding at this time. I have discs from France, UK, Germany, US and Japan and all work on a US machine.Iff HD DVD is region free,then why is THIS site advertising there HD DVD's as region "A" that can only be played with north american players ?
Also seen them advertised on Ebay as region 1/A.

There's no region coding in players or on the discs themselves.

The region coding may apply to the SD element of the disk which will be region locked
Just to summarise:
The European Toshiba HD DVD players will play SD DVDs that are:
1) R2
2) R0 or all regions
3) PAL
4) NTSC
