Daniel,
<br>We bought the Sharp DV-NC60 VCR/DVD Combo from www.world-import.com
(or www.220giftcenter.com). <b>It's both region-free and multi-standard.</b>
It's a pricey piece of equipment ($540 w/free shipping), but likely not
a lot more than a VCR + DVD. Plus it saves us the hassle (and $$$)
of connecting multiple video inputs to one TV. We've had 2 for about
6 months with no problems (the dual-use remote control is a little overwhelming
at first). CAVEAT: According to the specs: "Playback of PAL VHS or
DVD movies requires a video convertor or a PAL TV. Playback of NTSC
DVDs also requires a video converter or a PAL TV." Not sure why a
converter is needed in both instances. We have our units connect
to multistandard TVs so I can't tell you if in fact they work OK for NTSC
or PAL on an NTSC TV.

<br>Try the JVC XV-S500BK. We bought three of them from PC Connection/Mac
<br>Connection for $150 each and we have been able to verify they play
at
<br>least codes 1,2, and 4 on a regular ol' american TV. We've been pleased
<br>with them so far... Dan.
