Overview
The Sanyo VPR 5800 was Sanyo's portable Betacord. Its market position was to be a cheaper alternative to the Sony SL-F1. Like the SL-F1 it was powered by a 12V battery and was fitted with a K-Connector to interface to a camera. Also fitted was a 10-pin accessory connector.The deck controls were click swithes and the tape counter was of the mechanical type. Much of the internal mechanism was common with the VTC 5000.
The Unit also came supplied with an AC adaptor which doubled up as a battery charger and a Leatherette carrying case. We believe you could also get a tuner unit which plugged into the machine to enable it to record off-air. If you can provide details please e-mail PALsite.
