Hi, All our equipment (32 vcr's) are multi-system as we purchase videos not only from U.S. but suppliers in England for example where newer videos are cheaper. This would include Mr. Benson's World, Heffer's, Video city, Grant and cutler etc. I also find the PAL system a better quality and this is said after working in the field 15 years with all the systems. We get videos from France which are on the Secam system so the multi-system vcr is highly practical. there is such a creature as a multi-system VCR that changes from NTSC to PAl if your monitor is not multi-system. I don't know about vice versa. Harriet Kasow Harriet Kasow, Media Librarian Bloomfield Library for the Humanities and Social Sciences Hebrew University, Mt.
