Sony SL-HF900 Betamax VTR Video Tape Recorder Player SuperBetahi-fi

The SL-HF900 is an excellent Betamax machine, still appreciated by today's Betaphiles, and it was one of Sony's best selling SuperBetahi-fI VTRs. It provides incredibly high-quality SuperBeta pictures, delivers fantastic high-fidelity stereo audio, and is heaped with feature. No only was it the first consumer Betamax to have a jog wheel and shuttle ring, it also features a 21-day / 8-event programmable timer, freeze-frame with clear single frame, and index functions for mark, search, scan, and erase. An overall well-rounded performer, the SL-HF900 is perfect whether you're starting out with Betamax or you're a seasoned pro!
