Multi System VCR with Excellent Conversion Quality

A multi-system device is a combination of various video systems like NTSC, SECAM or PAL for playback and recording audio/video worldwide. Depending on your requirement and budget, you can pick multi-system TV with DVD player; multi-system TV with VCR; LCD TV/DVD & PC monitor or multi-system LCD TV with DVD recorder and hard drive.

With an ordinary multi system VCR, you will need to procure an external Tenlab video converter or a multi system TV. Normally these days the multi system VCR’s are being manufactured with in-built Video Converters. A multi system TV is capable of playing all the video formats like NTSC, PAL and SECAM.

A Multi System VCR is different from a Multi System Converter VCR. Multi system VCR has a capability of playing video tapes from anywhere in the world. But the constraint is that the video tapes must conform to the standards used by the VCR. This is not the case with a converting Multi System VCR. An ordinary Multi System VCR will not allow you to view a PAL tape on a NTSC Television or vice versa. Where-as, a Converting Multi System VCR, converts the incompatible signals into the system friendly signals making viewing possible You may go for converter or other extraneous accessories by tagging them to Multi System VCR to view the same results, but the picture quality may have to be greatly compromised.

Multi-system VCRs have a characteristic of producing high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) sound quality and it is a new type of stereo sound that is not like the low pitched ones that was available on old models of VCRs. This upgrade is certainly to be taken into consideration, if you are thinking of buying or replacing your present VCR, since all the movies and videos have Hi-Fi sound tracks encoded with Dolby Surround system.
