Aiwa HV-MX100 Hi-Fi Multi-System VCR
I wish I'd known that this player was around before DVD...
Wow!  I couldn't believe my eyes when I first found this player.  With the push of a button, you can play elusive NTSC, SECAM AND PAL vhs tapes!  A regionless VCR!  With over 250,000 movies on VHS and only around 20,000 in print on DVD(legally)....well, it was nice to finally see some of the finest films ever made that were not released here in the US AND then tape them over to NTSC format!      I can't stand having a limited selection of anything....especially movies and if you want a regionless player, this is the one to own!     Down......the power supply is a downside if you are abroad.  I think that if these were priced more-reasonably than the original price of $600...THE MX-100 may have saved the video industry from disaster!  Think how many mom and pop stores wouldn't have had to close! Think of the selection of a world-wide market!      JUST THINK of movies unedited by MONOPOLY companies like BB!!!  Different endings to your favorite films! No cheesy subtitles and, best of all, these players capture the full beauty of the PAL format (better resolution than our own but always looks bad on PBS when converted).....    This is the best VCR ever MADE and the only one you should own....makes me wish I still had my vhs collection but I sold it years ago....    Well, there's always laserdisc!    JPD
