Worldwide VCR Background GB "Worldwide Communication through VCR" Today, the Video Recorder is a major media and communication tool, used for both business and home entertainment. Furthermore, the emergence of the camcorder has extended the versatility of video enabling home video making. Video communication is increasingly becoming a global medium, but different TV broadcasting systems around the world hinder the worldwide exchange of video tapes. The Samsung SV-5000W overcomes the incompatibility of different TV broadcasting systems through sophisticated digital technology, allowing any standard VHS tape to be played on any TV, anywhere in the world (with free voltage).

This worldwide common VCR overcomes this problem by converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire.
