Emerson EWW7070 Digital Multi-System VCR
Excellent purchase
While this VCR lacks many of the fancy options found on conventional VCR's, it's converting capability is excellent. Converting from PAL to NTSC3 was as simple as plugging it in, and the image was crystal clear. I  tried the Samsung SV7000W and found it to be hard to operate (it took me  some time just to figure out the standard playback channel was not channel  3 or 4). The Samsung also had an inferior and &quot;jittery&quot; picture.  In a nutshell, the Emerson isn't much as a normal VCR, it has no fancy  options, but for straight conversion purposes it performs quite well. I  cannot vouch for any modes outside of PAL to NTSC3 or NTSC3 to NTSC3.
