Usually, at least as far as I have observed, a VCR capable of playing both
NTSC and PAL has one NTSC part and one PAL part.  That is: To view a PAL
cassette, you need the player *and* a PAL compatible monitor.  To view an
NTSC cassette you need the player *and* an NTSC compatible monitor.

I just went through this some months ago when I had an NTSC cassette and
wanted to play it throug a video projector.  It worked out fine when I got
the right player (could read PAL,NTSC,SECAM) and video projector.
