Hitachi Multisystem VCRs

Multisystem VCRs allow you to play tapes of different formats, such as NTSC and PAL, and output them in the same format. Thus, in order to see a PAL video tape on a NTSC TV or vice versa, you must either have a multisystem TV or a PAL/NTSC converter that will convert the video signals from the multisystem VCR to the proper format for the TV. We highly recommend the Tenlab free-standing video converter for the very best in conversion quality. If you want an inexpensive solution to being able to watch ANY tape in the world on ANY television in the world, a third option is to purchase a multistandard VCR with a built-in converter. While this is the least expensive solution, you will get better quality and a wider selection of brands and features if you purchase two separate items, such as a multistandard VCR and multistandard TV, or a multistandard VCR and a PAL/NTSC converter.
