    My Philips Recorder does have a removeable power plug.....which usually means that an appliance has dual-power capabilities....but I'm not gonna try it....
    Again...Philips Help(less) Center had no clue if my unit was actually dual power or not....typical. I didn't dare ask them if they were aware that is also records in either format...
    I might be lucky that when I buy one that it will be multi-region, even if they don't advertise it as being so. Plus, the converters are worth a try...If all else fails I can just buy two recorders!!!

    While the page is titled Panasonic, they have PAL/NTSC multi-region
    capable DVD recorders from a bunch of manufacturers. Some also have
    VHS capability. Most are dual voltage as well.

    I've bought several S-VHS multi-standard recorders and standards
    converters from them (I work about 5 miles from their store location)
    and recommend them highly.

    They can solve just about any PAL/SECAM/NTSC dvd or vhs issue you
    might have.
    I'll have a look at them later, thanks for info. Off to work now!!

    Just to be a nit-picker - but I think the OP means multi-standard, not multi-region, though multi-region will also be needed if they want to play pressed DVD's from different parts of the world
