Do the Sony SVO-5800 able to read the PAL tape?

[earth12345]

I have almost 100 of VHS tape that I found in the box when I move my stuff to upstairs. Luckily, my house is safe from flooding.

The problem is when I use regular VCR (borrowed from neighborhood), the picture quality is very bad, a lot of noise and some portion, the picture is lost.

This problem is not happened when I take the same tape to play with who that can transfer my tape for me. His VHS deck is Sony SVO-5800P. Of course, the transferring price per hour is very high.

So, I decide that I will buy one of SVO-5800 but most of my tape are PAL not NTSC.

and if SVO-5800 cannot play PAL tape, do I have another choice of professional VCR that can play all of my tape?

Sorry for my bad English.

PS. about 38 of 100 tapes are NTSC-J tapes (80's, 90's Japanese Song) and the rest are PAL.

As far as I remember, there were no dual standard Sony SVO-5800 models.

How about another professional VCR, did they have any?

As far as I remember, there were no dual standard Sony VHS. That doesn't mean there weren't any.

There are standards converting VHS players but the conversion quality is poor to fair.

In Thailand I'd expect you would want a PAL transfer.

Sorry, I mean do another professional Panasonic or JVC VCR have dual standard?, or maybe all of the professional VCR don't have dual standard. And most important thing is I need to transfer NTSC-J tapes to DVD too.

VHS transfer with the SVO-5800P is expensive like hell, the price is 300 Baht/hour (about $9.5). and I have plenty of tape. All are records in SP mode.

Our income per month for minimum is only $500 (15000 Baht). So, this price is too expensive for me.

Let me understand your goal is to convert PAL VHS to NTSC_J DVD?

I mean I need to convert both of my PAL, NTSC-J VHS to DVD.

Easy to convert PAL VHS to PAL DVD and
NTSC-J VHS to NTSC-J or North American NTSC-M.

So are you asking for standards conversion between the two?

Yes, and another question is what model of professional VCR that can play 2 standard in one machine.

I've tried the Samsung VCR that I borrowed from my neighborhood, it's a piece of junk. Sure, it can play both PAL and NTSC-J tapes but the quality is horrible and the picture is lost and fuzzy in some portion.

I don't know of any. Other than the Duty Free Shop Multisystem VCRs. Here they are sold on

These aren't expected to deliver quality transfers.

Good Luck!
