Hello. The NV-8620 was a Middle Eastern-market model, was only branded as National and had the EM suffix in the model number as can be seen. It didn't have the still frame capability like the 8610 did, but it had the audio dub function which the original 8600 didn't have. So feature-wise it was somewhere between the 8600 and 8610. The 8600-EM variant had NTSC playback as well as audio dub. I have one of those.

There's an 8620EM on sale near me, but at that price I 'll give it a miss!

Much better price than the 8600EM that's on sale near me. That listing has been up for at least 7 years.
