Overall this is a good product. Picture play-back on all tape formats is excellent, so too is the sound quality. So what does this VCR lack? Well it has no timer, therefore it can only be used to record programmes which are being broadcast at that time. This is a major dissappointment. The styling of the VCR is elegant and the operating instructions easy to follow. Overall a good product.

This VCR truly allows you to play VHS cassettes from around the world on your TV. It can also be used to record in any of those formats too. If you need to view tapes from Europe (for example), and / or send tapes there that they can view, then you should consider this product. It doesn't have a tuner, but that's no problem since you can easily connect it to another VCR. It can also be used as a direct convertor e.g. to convert a PAL camcorder feed directly onto your NTSC TV without having to record it first. By default it will auto detect the input signal type, but this can be overridden to select the input and output type. It can only play and record in short play mode. Overall I was impressed with this product.

And besides, it is not truly VCR because it doesn't have a built-in tuner that any VCR supposed to have. So it's just a video player with recording ability. I live in Europe, and I can buy fully functional 6-head multisystem hi-fi stereo VCR for almost the same price here. Compare with ur 4-head Non -recording TV programs device?

The quality is definately better (I have a 46" screen so quality was a big issue) than other multisystem converting VCRs, but this VCR is very basic.

It DOES do HiFi for any standard (which not many others do) and supports many many standards both for input and output, but it does not have a tuner. Nor does it play back long play video cassettes. Nor does it have a timer.

Does it also do real-time conversion to the output coax, not only to video tape? I.e. if I bring american TV to Europe, can I use it as a PAL-NTSC converter by hooking between this TV and AV source (anthena, cable)?

This Vcr has made it possible for me to convert copies of Song Of the South for fun and Profit.
