Sorry guy, I made a mistake. The vcr was bought at Dubai international
airport for $430 dollars and it's a Panasonic 4-system as it is called.
The four systems are ntsc1, ntsc2, pal, and secam. There are vcr's that
also decode the obscure NIR system the russians use but I've never seen
one. The tv is a Sony 3/system Trinitron brought for just about $500
in London. I'll see if I can get the model numbers for you.

BTW Sony also makes three system vcr's but I can't remember what they 
call these. A good guess would be 3/system as in their tv's.
