AIWA BETA VCRS

Aiwa manufactured only two models and they were both Betahi-fi stereo VCRs. A portable unit in 1984 that had a detachable decoder/amplifier and a stand alone deck in 1985. Both had the standard or regular Beta picture system and recorded and , they would also play . Aiwa appears to have designed much of the electronics and mechanics for these VCRs but many Sony hard parts were used. Sony later purchased Aiwa and continued the nameplate for future products, but no more Aiwa Betas VCRs were made.
