I have a (supposedly) NV-FS200 that is only playing NTSC tapes.
- It plays NTSC VHS as NTSC.
- It does not play PAL VHS. You get the shifted B&W signal, as you would playing PAL in an NTSC deck.
Huh?
All buttons and sliders work, so I don't think this was a gutter shell. Or was it? (I actually have an AG-1980 parts deck, and could swap case if needed.)
Additionally, the unit may needs caps work. With TBC on, the color tints shift.
It has a two-prong (non-grounded) USA/NA (North America) power cord, from the switchable power supply. But not sure if it's really switchable.
I was looking forward to a PAL deck, so this is a total disappointment.
