Description Pioneer VX90

The SL-HF900 was one of Sony's best selling SuperBetaHi-Fi VCRs. Even today it ranks as tops in appeal among Betaphiles. Pioneer realized the potential of this awsome Beta and had Sony produce units for them that were compatible with their SR component system. There are some extra jacks in the back but other than that it is identical to the SL-HF900, the main difference is that these are rare. It produces one of the highest quality SuperBeta pictures ever and delivers fantastic high-fidelity stereo audio. The first consumer Beta to have a jog wheel and shuttle ring it delivers to the pro-sumer a mastery over video that was unobtainable before. The VX90 is a great performer and will make that video entertainment experience the thrill of a lifetime. Features include:

•
Beta Hi-Fi for ultra-fidelity stereo sound with a dynamic range of over 80dB

•
Stereo-broadcast circuitry for enjoying stereo broadcasts

•
Cable-compatible express tuning that brings in the VHF, UHF, and even non-scrambled cable TV channels

•
