Ok. what you have there is a multistandard vcr, but without standards
conversion, since, as you say, you need a Tv monitor of the system you
are playing back.
it is correct then that you're getting a B&W picture with pal to NTSC.
The NTSC colour subcarrier is 3.58 and PAL is 4.43.
what would, however, be incorrect is having b&w from NTSC tapes on the
NTSC set! does this happen?
