The 7250 was the only SuperBetahi-fi VCR Sanyo made. It records and plays and . The cable-ready 105-channel tuner has 16 channel presets and auto fine-tuning. 14-day/8-event timer with every day and every week feature. Feather touch transport controls with forward and reverse picture search. Still image pause with simple editing. Four-digit electronic tape counter with memory. Auto rewind at the end of the tape with automatic playback. Dew indicator with auto shutdown. The infrared remote duplicates most front panel button functions. Simple to use with smart styling, this recorder would make a comfortable purchase for an attractive price. Like most Sanyo Betas it unthreads the tape prior to performing rewind and fast forward. The tape moves inside the cassette shell during those modes. This maneuver reduces wear on the tape path components. Links to more information are included in the listing of features below.
