I am purchasing a JVC 7611 with TBC though it does not have a remote I have many JVC professional VCRs with remotes that are NTSC will these remotes work with the 7611?
Also I live in Canada and our power is 120 volts will I need a step up convertor to 220 volts?

No special remote needed. Use standard JVC MBR, the LP20303 safest.
No special (step) power needed. Just get a plug shape adapter, convert PAL/Europe prongs to USA, about $5-10 on Amazon or eBay. The power specs of the unit probably do say 50/60 100-240, aka a worldwide power supply. Even if not, ignore any PAL-only 220/240 specs, on these JVC S-VHS decks on these generations.
I use a 7611, simple plug shape adapter, wonderful deck. Mine came from VCRshop. And I use the JVC remotes I already had, came with 3800/7600/9900/etc. All fine.

The strange thing is, the JVC 7611 manual on manualsLib has a picture of this vcr that are taken from the vcrshop website… (4 digit number sticker on top) Shame about those high prices at vcrshop for desperate people i guess...

Nonsense.
Twice.
The 7611 deck predates VCRshop, and VCRshop doesn't use stock photos. Those ripoff manual sites scrape information from places like VCRshop, this site, manufacturer sites, and others. Most of those sites have added watermarks, missing pages, wrong info, etc. It's nothing more than a shoddy scraper. So I'm not shocked whatsoever if content was taken from multiple sources, mashed together, and you got fooled by it.
VCRshop prices are a bargain. He sells refurb'd decks, not some random crap from eBay, a thrift market, or a boot sale. Right now, PAL S-VHS decks are somewhat abundant. But someday that will change (as it has with NTSC), the prices will move upwards (and no, not due to mere supply/demand).
You admittedly use low-end cheap combo decks, lousy VCRs with DVD players/recorders, not quality VCRs of any kind, so I'd suggest this isn't a conversation where you're qualified to give any input.

Good to know that I do not need a step up power supply. Glad to know I can use my remote which is the one you have listed.

Greetings! I am converting my VHS tapes and I have the JVC HR-V510 model at hand. Is it any good? I could not find information if it has TBC. Any opinions, should I look for something else?
