Found a Multistandard Sharp VC-NF01

[Eric H]

I found what I think is a European model Sharp VC-NF01 VCR, it will play PAL, NTSC and SECAM. I didn't get a remote with it and that might be hard to find, seems like most of the features can be accessed on the front panel though.

All I've done so far is load a tape, it seems to work, the counter moves but I need to hook it up to a monitor and see how it looks.

It looks to be a very nice machine and has some odd features, can anyone tell me anything about this?

Will it play a PAL tape through an NTSC set or would I need a PAL TV also.
