This was the first Laserdisc player I bought which can play NTSC discs. It also plays PAL discs, it's one of those dual-standard ones. Actually these appear to be more common (in this country at least) than purely NTSC players. According to the information I've read, this player is identical to the Philips VP312 except that the 312 is PAL-only. Exactly why there's such a difference in model numbers between the two types I couldn't say.
