Oops!--my mistake.  It seems there is a newer model Aiwa that DOES read
Secam (don't know about Meta-secam, Pal-M, etc.)

Update! Aiwa makes a new model VCR HV-MX100. Plays SECAM in Color. Has
hi-fi stereo sound. Costs about $600 - $800. Experience with the old AIWA
has been good. Three years of service with no problems.
