The U-matic recorders output composite video. Therefore you will require a PAL to whatever type of output suits your TV inputs. For example a PAL to HDMI converter. However, if all you wish to do is to convert the PAL output to enable you to record on to a DVD, then there are a number of fairly inexpensive PAL in/ to USB output dongles available. These will enable you to use a P.C. to do the conversion, & then you will be able to playback the DVD via the T.V.
