Description
Many countries have different TV broadcasting systems with no compatibility between them. This means a video tape recorded in one country may not be able to be viewed or duplicated in another country. Samsung's worldwide video SV-5000W overcomes this problem by digitally converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire. Featuring Digital system conversion, Playback conversion, TV signal conversion, Conversion Timer recording, a World TV signal receiver and much more. Watching your favorite video, whether foreign or domestic, will be simple.

Strengths: When it works it works great.
Weakness: Build quality
In the 18 months that I have owned it it has needed to be repaired TWICE for power supply problems at a cost of $150 each time. When I took it to the repairers last time there were two others there wiith the same problem. Would appear to be a major design fault.
Strengths: converts PAL -> NTSC Rewinds really fast.
Weakness: Can't watch the picture when going from NTSC -> PAL. Takes a while to figure out and understand. S-Video in and out would have been nice for the $450.00 I paid for it.
Just took it in for repair cause of white lines that were showing up during playback or recording of ANY VHS tape (PAL or NTSC). $95.00 =( SOB!!! I hate VHS. I wish it would have gone away a long time ago. I dunno if I would buy thtis again. It worked for about 10 months and then white lines would show up on some tapes, and now it's on EVERY tape! I hope it works again when i pick it up tomorrow.
Strengths: Works with any tape and TV systems. Very stylish design..
Weakness: Bad user manual
Hard to start to work with it. All settings were for Hong-Kong :( To change settings one need to get a menu on the TV screen. And to get a menu on the American TV, you need to change the setting first.
Strengths: Converts with no problem. Rewinds FAST. Easy to use!
Weakness: Have not had any problems entire time.
I am VERY pleased with my WORLDWIDE SAMSUNG SV5000W ! I have had absolutely NO problems with this unit, and I plan to buy another one exactly like it soon. Best VCR I've ever bought.
Weakness: pricy
Really works on any tv and with any tape. It's awesome. Good picture quality and easy menu. I use it to watch videos from my camera(PAL SYSTEM), it is as easy as it gets. A bit pricy though!

Samsung SV5000W
Strengths: Ability to watch ANY format on ANY TV
Weakness: Warrantee. Quality.
I bought the SV5000W and was very happy for some time. I convinced numerous people to go out and buy it and they did! My VCR stopped working about 4 months ago. I checked with some other people and looked around the Net and found that many others are experiencing the same issues. The integrated power "died". Samsung wants $250 just to look at the machine. That is over half of what I paid for it!
