Multisystem VCRs

A multisystem VCR will allow you to watch video tapes from various areas of the world. However, a multisystem VCR is not the only device you need to have in order to watch your overseas tapes. Multisystem VCRs do not actually convert video signals but output the same video signal that the tapes are in. For example, if you put a PAL tape in it will output a PAL signal. If you put an NTSC tape in it will output an NTSC signal. In order to watch a PAL tape on an NTSC television of vice-versa you need either a multisystem television which can display PAL, SECAM and NTSC video signals or you need a Tenlab video converter which can convert a PAL signal into an NTSC one to view on your American NTSC TV. You can also purchase multisystem VCRs with built-in video converters but, while they are easier to use, you generally lose image quality and features.
