| <p align="center"><a name="1"></a><strong><big>How Can I View Different Standards of Video | |
| Tapes on my TV and VCR?</big></strong></p> | |
| <p align="left"><br> | |
| To view tapes of different standards you need either a multistandard VCR and a | |
| multistandard TV or a multistandard VCR with converter built-in or one (a multistandard | |
| VCR) with a stand-alone converter connected by cable "in-line". If you want to | |
| convert one standard into another and have a tape that you can send to a friend or a | |
| client you must have a multistandard VCR, a converter (such as the TR-10SP - best images | |
| at the best price) and another VCR or, a VCR with built-in converter such as the SAMSUNG | |
| SV-4000 and another VCR. It's the same principle as making a copy of an audio cassette | |
| tape where you must have two separate devices that read and record. <br> | |
| Want the very best in a combo VCR/Converter? Then get the SAMSUNG SV-4000. Expensive, but | |
| worth every penny. This is a good choice for those who want the convenience of a one piece | |
| unit and need a high quality conversion. Remember that you still need another VCR in order | |
| to make copies. <br> | |
| The cheapest solution for converting is the Aiwa MX-1. This costs in the $600 range. | |
| Quality is inferior but nevertheless the Aiwa fulfills the needs of the average client.<br> | |
| If you want top notch quality and still priced lower than the Samsung, I would strongly | |
| suggest one of the Ten Lab converters. The conversion signal is strong and (even | |
| broadcasting studios use the Ten Lab!) you can combine it with the multistandard VCR of | |
| your choice.<br> | |
| If you're planning on getting into the conversion business then this is what you will | |
| want. Much more on the Ten Labs in the Ten Lab faq.</p> | |

| NTSC 4.43?</strong></big></p> | |
| <p align="left"><br> | |
| VCRs having NTSC 3.58 MHz (USA standard) can play NTSC tapes on only NTSC 3.58 MHz TVs | |
| (i.e. any found in the USA for normal use).<br> | |
| Many VCRs have both 3.58MHz and 4.43MHz. In this case the 4.43 MHz signal can be played | |
| ONLY on 4.43 MHz TVs (usually found in Europe but I sell all of the products as well). The | |
| color in each of these is not compatible with the other so if you play an NTSC 3.58MHz | |
| tape on a 4.43 MHz VCR the image will be perfect but in black and white.</p> | |

| <p align="center"><a name="3"></a><strong><big>Why is the TR-10SP Standard Converter the | |
| best?</big></strong></p> | |
| <p><br> | |
| To get a true converted image and of superior image quality only a true converter will do | |
| and the TR-10SP ($549.95) has the<br> | |
| latest Digital Chipset and circuitry and produces broadcast quality results not even | |
| available at any price just a few years<br> | |
| ago. The TR-11SVH ($699.95) handles both S-VHS and VHS formats.<br> | |
| A true converter changes all technical specifications of the NTSC signal which includes | |
| line resolution, 60 to 50 Hertz, color<br> | |
| sub-carrier frequency and much more. With a true converter a converted image can be | |
| recorded and/or viewed and recorded at the same time. <br> | |
| By getting a VCR and converter you'll be able to use ANY TV on earth, of any size and | |
| anywhere and ALSO be able to make copies of CONVERTED tapes for shipping overseas or for | |
| yourself. <br> | |
| <br> | |
| Combine any Multistandard VCR with the TR-10SP Converter (or any TENLAB converter such as | |
| the TR-11SVHS which does S-VHS, Hi-8MM etc. as well as normal VHS) and you'll have superb | |
| conversion results, true Broadcast quality. <br> | |
| The TR-11SVHS can accept standard RCA (VHS, 8mm etc.) or any S-CONNECTOR source (such as | |
| S-VHS, HI-8MM, DVD, Laserdisc, Digital Camcorder, Computer S-Out etc.). Truly a | |
| professional device.<br> | |
| The PAL or SECAM to NTSC image will be so good you probably can't tell the difference | |
| between it and the original! The NTSC signal has less electronic information in each frame | |
| so when converted to PAL you can see a slight degradation from the original but it's still | |
| the best converted image I've ever seen for under $22,000. <br> | |
| Need customer recommendations? I have lots! Ask.<br> | |
| Have you heard cheaper converters exist? They do. Most aren't actually converters though | |
| they use the name. Even though they are available to us we won't sell them. Want to know | |
| why? Ask for our FAQ file on them. Sadly we would soon go out of business trying to sell | |
| these cheap Taiwan or Chinese made products. They can't be repaired and have very short or | |
| non-existent warranties and simply produce images guaranteed to produce loud demands for | |
| refunds.<br> | |
| Most of these "transcodifers" produce an image that can't even be recorded. <br> | |
| <br> | |
| <br> | |
| I sell 20+ different converters (including the SNELL & WILCOX full line - from $7,000 | |
| to $12,000 and UP) but none can compare to the TR-10SP.<br> | |
| Why? <br> | |
| No converter, VCR, TV or camcorder I know of has these 5 features: <br> | |
| 1) World-Wide 1 Year Warranty - good for all countries. So sure is TENLAB of the quality | |
| of their products they will<br> | |
| pay round-trip shipping costs if any unit ever needs servicing within the warranty period | |
| (inside the US).<br> | |
| 2) Phase control knob to correct possible NTSC original color error.<br> | |
| 3) Gain control knob for signal strength.<br> | |
| 4) Options for every conceivable variation of standard.<br> | |
| 5) Upgradable by the factory when even newer technologies are invented. With TENLAB | |
| products you'll never have to buy a<br> | |
| new converter, just send it in for the latest upgrade!<br> | |
| As well, the TR-10SP has a TBC, produces incredibly sharp conversions thanks to it's | |
| advanced digital chipset and is Made In<br> | |
| America. The manufacturer, TENLAB, has superb and friendly customer service, has been in | |
| business for 20 years and is, incredibly, the least expensive true quality converter I've | |
| ever seen - $549.95 . Great for professional or home use. We sell TENLAB products to the | |
| US ARMED FORCES, Consulates, Universities, the broadcast industry, Video professionals, | |
| Conversion Services etc. worldwide.<br> | |
| (In min. qty. of 5 units the TR-10SP can also be made 12 V. DC)</p> | |

| <p><br> | |
| You may or may not have to pay duty on items. Usually for one product they don't make you | |
| pay but this also depends on the country.<br> | |
| DUTY TAX HELP is possible if we ship to you via US MAIL only, not by FEDEX, DHL, UPS etc. | |
| But US mail is by far the least expensive way to go and even to Australia takes only 8-10 | |
| day AIR PARCEL POST.<br> | |
| For most countries a single unit imported is not of commercial quantity and usually they | |
| let them pass with no duty charged. <br> | |
| Yours may not be this case so to help we offer this:<br> | |
| Most duty is charged according to the insurance value so by insuring the product for 1/2 | |
| actual value if tax is assessed it will most likely be at that rate. ("Insured | |
| amount" and declared "value" on shipping forms must be the same or they | |
| won't accept the insurance.) <br> | |
| We have only had a single reported case of damage and that was by FEDEX on a VCR shipped | |
| to Israel. It was fully insured so FEDEX promptly paid that and refunded the shipping cost | |
| in full and we shipped a new VCR to the customer.<br> | |
| However, be aware that should any damage result, the merchandise will only be insured for | |
| half the actual amount. </p> | |

| factory warranties.<br> | |
| 99% of all multistandard gear comes with either the international (non-North American | |
| warranty), but I always give a 60-day warranty (customer pays round-trip postage, we | |
| handle repairs or replacement), but not for the larger TVs (anything over 29" there | |
| is generally NO warranty, but at times there may be, so please inquire).<br> | |
| If defective upon arrival, please return within 10 days with an RMA# first (contact us for | |
| that) for a full replacement at our expense.<br> | |
| Please use your purchase as soon as possible and contact us should you have a question. | |
| 99% of the time PLANET 3000's friendly personnel can indicate to you a solution for a | |
| question you may have in setting up your purchase properly. We take time with you, no | |
