flicker and picture noise.

The difference
between a Multisystem VCR and a Converter!
A multisystem VCR allows you to play video tapes from overseas, but doesn't
convert the video signals. So basically, using a multisystem VCR alone won't
allow you to watch a PAL tape on your NTSC television. A converting
multisystem VCR will convert its video ouput signal through a built-in video
converter, so you can watch a PAL tape on an NTSC TV.
