Overview
The VTC-M20 is a very nice looking, remote control, front loader from Sanyo (the Australian 'AS' model is shown here). It did not have
many advanced features such as trick playback modes but was a good basic
machine comparable to the Sony SL-C20 series. It included
features such as a tape remaining indicator, soft touch controls and a loading indicator.
For some reason there were not many sold in the UK market and finding one
today is very difficult. The United Kingdom 'UB' model can be seen in the advertising flysheet below.
This model was part of a line up that included the M10 (a basic Sanyo Beta front loader in
silver) and the more advanced M30.
Features included:
- Front loading
- 14 day 8 programme timer
- 12 function infra-red remote control
- Colour picture search
- Freeze frame
- 24 hour clock
- Digital tape counter with memory
- 12 channel timer
- Soft touch controls
- Dew protection
