Jeff: >You were right the first time. France is on SECAM. (like with all French culture: "Something Entirely Contrary to the American Method"). I don't know who was saying PAL-M, but it isn't right. Or maybe PAL-M is used in France, but it is not the broadcast standard.< Oh, NOW I'm getting a headache… :-/ I was looking at a world broadcast chart in some store, which Panasonic puts out for their multistandard VCR (not the AG-1, but another model), and *it* said that France uses PAL-M same as Brazil. Of course, I *do* remember seeing another world broadcast chart (for the Aiwa, I think) that said France uses SECAM…. Is it possible even the French don't know what they're using? 😉 Confused, Tim
