I think it is a multi-format VCR not multi-system. Multi-system means it has a
converter built in which this one apparently doesn't because you need a
multi-format TV to view it or a TV of the format the tape you're playing from
the VCR is. If you play a PAL tape through an NTSC tv it goes in black &
white. The vcr model is VC-MH300
