Title: Does not record from PAL signal source
Review: I was looking mainly to record form my Sony Handycam (DCR-HC40E), but, since, it does not accept PAL signal, it does not work for me. I guess my research was not proper. This model does not accept (and output) anything other than NTSC signal, hence, it will not work out-of-the-box in countries like India. Fact that it only accepts NTSC signal was not highlighted in the product literature/brochure available online.However, as a DVD player it is excellent- outputs very good video (NTSC only and US region/universal DVDs).Bottomline:Pros:Similar Sony model available in India (RDRGX330) is priced about 18000/- INR in white market. For ~150 USD it was good saving.Picture quality of output videoCons:Could not really test the recording feature yet. I am procuring external PAL - NTSC video converter to exploit its recording feature.No PAL support (needs external video converter)
