This is how most of them work.  I used to use a Panasonic (6200E?) with
a Sony multimode monitor.  However, I recall seeing an advertisement
recently for a VCR that could play PAL/NTSC/SECAM tapes with a single
NTSC output.  Unfortunately, I don't remember where I saw it.  If I find
out, I will post more information.
