Taking VCR to Russia

I very strongly recommend finding out what kind of TV set etc
your friends are using (as well as the standard in effect
in their area). Until about a year ago, Polish national TV
used some old-fashioned French SECAM, but most VCR owners
had PAL equipment anyway. The situation in Russia might be similar.
An Israeli friend once wanted to send us a video tape and went out
of his way to find one that matched the TV standard being used
in Poland; the result is we can only watch it in black and white,
and the cooment is in French, a language unknown to most people in
the household.
Best way to learn is by mistakes; cheapest way is by someone else's.
Good luck,
Leszek.
