( Note: if you have a PAL or NTSC tape then you have to have a VCR that is able to play that tape as well as a converter, you will not be able to play Pal tape in the NTSC VCR and so as you will not be able to play NTSC tape in a PAL VCR ). Make sure that you get an appropriate VCR when purchasing a converter.
