Important Technical Information

There are three main colour television 'systems' NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Although there are a few models of home video recorder/players that are compatible with more than one of these systems, the vast majority are only compatible with one system. For example, a tape recorded on a Brand X VHS machine in the USA will not necessarily play back on a Brand X VHS machine in the UK. The Brand X VHS machines may appear identical but the one marketed in the USA is likely to be engineered to work with the NTSC system while the UK model is probably engineered to work with the PAL system. It is possible to buy multi-standard video players but these are the exception rather than the rule. Note that the VHS standard does not cover the specification of the signal recorded on the tape. Therefore before buying videotapes from outside your own country of residence you must check with the supplier to see if they are compatible with your video machine. Alternatively, you may be able to locate a service bureau in your area that will convert tapes from one standard to another. The technical Worldwide TV Standards - A Web Guide includes a table of Colour and Broadcasting Systems by Country.

NOTES

It is the intention of the Lincolnshire Post-Polio Network to make all the information we collect available regardless of our views as to it's content. The listing of a videotape in this library should not therefore in any way be interpreted as an endorsement.

People who had polio and are experiencing new symptoms need to be assessed by medical professionals who are experienced in Post-Polio to determine what is wrong and to give correct advice. We can only make this information available to you. YOU must then take what you believe to be relevant to the medical professional you are seeing. We are collecting and collating everything we can to enable medical professionals to make informed decisions. Other medical conditions must be looked for first, Post-Polio Syndrome is by diagnosis of exclusion.
