NewCompact Design-State-of-the-art
miniaturization
now allows RCA to dramatically reduce the size of its
VCR's without sacrificing features or performance.

for cable-TV decoders, headphones,
or other peripheral
equipment.

with an RCA
Digital Command
remote control and integrated
into a
unified RCA audio/video
system.

Tape Counter with Memory-When
the tape counter is
displayed on the TV screen, fast forward and rewind will
stop when the counter
reads "0000."
By resetting the
counter to "0000" at the desired point on the tape, you
can stop at this point for repeated
viewing of a certain
scene.
Search/Stop
