SONY RM-56W
WIRED REMOTE

The RM-56W came standard with the SL-5600. It was very simple by todays standards, it only controlled the most basic functions of the VCR. These were pause with freeze frame, fast play and Betascan in both forward and reverse. Green LED indicates VCR is in fast play mode and yellow flashes when in its is pause. Fast forward or rewind of the VCR was not available even when the Beta was starting from the stop mode. You still had to get up from your easy chair to change the VCR channels, turn it off or to program the timer. These added functions would have to wait until wireless hit the scene.
