5.0 out of 5 stars A great piece of hardware!, September 25, 2001

This review is from: Emerson EVC1595 Digital Multi-System Video Converter (Electronics)

I bought one of these in 1999, through Amazon, and it has been a true performer! When I got assigned to Romania we debated buying a smaller screen multi-systen TV (at great cost) or taking our nice, new, 31" GE (NTSC) set and converting it. I just bought this converter and purchased a Philips VCR locally to act as my cable tuner (PAL). If you have a TV with audio/composite video in jacks, this will enable you to convert and view literally any video format with no problem. The image is sharp and clear, and it comes with plug in transformers for both 110V and 220V operation. It can be used with big-screen TVs of all types, and can output a NTSC or PAL signal for your television. A wonderful alternative to expensive multi-system sets, and as a side benefit you can use it to tranfer tapes from PAL to NTSC and vice versa!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works excellent but has no built-in power supply, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Emerson EVC1595 Digital Multi-System Video Converter (Electronics)

It is great converter. It works excellent with all video systems signals. I tested it for PAL, SECAM and NTSC in automatic recognizing mode and there were no problems. Convertion quality is just fine. Only "bug" is that converter has no built-in universal power supply. It was shipped with 2 separate external modules for 110 and 220V.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job!, December 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Emerson EVC1595 Digital Multi-System Video Converter (Electronics)

I bought EVC 1575. But the picture kept rolling. Probably because it's analog. (I don't know why they don't foresee this problem and include a vertical hold knob on the unit like some NTSC to PAL converters do). I finally got this one. It works beatifully! I can finally use the PAL video camara that I had bought from Hongkong!
