VTC-NX100 PALsite home Betamax PALsite Model index
1985

Overview

This Model was the last produced by Sanyo for the UK market. Out of all of the Sanyo Beta's this one had a poor picture quality compared to the previous line up.

It does though have features which improve upon the VTC-5000. For example colour picture search and pause. It is also one of the few Betamax models to support one touch record, the other possible example being the SL-HF950 with its "quick record" button.

The VTC-NX100 did not have a remote control although one was supplied for the Australian, Indonesian, New Zealand, South East Asian and Hong Kong versions.

Models VTC-NX10 and VTC-NX15 are very similar to the VTC-NX100. These feature 8 TV channel buttons with other models featuring 10 TV channel buttons. The specifications page also shows a comparison of the different international versions.

Features included:

• Front loading
• 8 day 1 programme timer
• One touch record
• Instant record timer - starts and automatically stops recording without using the Programme Timer
• Colour picture search at 7 timer normal speed
• Freeze frame
• 12 channel tuner
• Digital tape counter with memory
• Soft touch controls
