Only if you can generate a modulated PAL signal somehow. The PVR-350 
cannot, it does not contain a (re-)modulator. If you have a multi 
standard VCR you should be able to generate a PAL signal, if you use a 
recorded PAL encoded program. No multi-standard VCR will do standard 
conversion. Another option is a multi-standard DVD player where you can 
set the output to PAL. That will generate a valid PAL signal.
