In many of these units, to change the broadcast system that it
operates on,
the tuner section, IF section, and video processing sections are of
different specifications. This also includes the sync drives, and the
servo
setup for the tape section.

In more simple terms, there are a number of boards and parts to
change, and
then a recalibration is required, to make many of these types of units
work
on a different broadcast system.

This applies to many of the models in this level of unit.

news Hi
I hope this is the right place to ask.

I brought a GV-S50 on ebay the seller said he was in the UK where I
am, it
then arrived from America!!

My question is can I modify it to PAL, someone mentioned that it may
have
both the circuits already and just the NTSC is activated for the
American
market, if its sold to the UK the PAL section is used. I know the PAL
version will play both PAL and NTSC tapes.
Does anyone know anything about this I have searched google with no
luck

I was hoping I could use it to monitor video but again my video signal
does
not work with it.
Maybe someone has the schematics and could have a check for me please.

Thanks loads Seb
