Samsung SV-5000W Worldwide VHS Format VCR
Very easy to hook up and use.
I wanted to view tapes made in Europe (PAL format) on my tv (NTSC format).  This tape player does convert from several input formats to several output formats.  I'm no electronics genius, but in less than 15 minutes I had the player unpacked and hooked up to my tv and had all user-determined items (language preference, time, etc) entered.  I put a tape in the player and with minimal reference to the manual adjusted the input and output menus so that I could view the tape.  Converted picture and sound quality are comparable to picture and sound quality on my regular tape player set-up without conversion.  <BR>The manual is well-organized.  This tape player will do a bunch of things, and the manual is organized by what the user wants to do.  So it's easy to just get going on what you want to do.  By the way all necessary cables are included.
