My old Betamax Sl-HF 950 (750 in USA) already plays very well on my new Panasonic 37PX70 Plama TV. Looks really good. Note that there are 3 LEDs that don't work. If someone know how to repair the leds please let me know.

good quality…
vhs wasnt bad..but i have never seen betamax in real life cuz only video cassette format was vhs around here
wow that is like a transformer
@macolest Actually, SuperBeta was 500 lines (even better then Laserdisc, which did 420 lines).
It was basically the most high-resolution analog format that was ever sold as a “consumer format”.
@macolest The other main advantages of VHS were that it was slightly cheaper, and most porn studios preferred it (Pornography’s done more for technological advance then people want to admit. Without porn, the internet wouldn’t have taken off so quickly)
Laserdiscs managed to eventually find their niche as the “videophiles” prefered movie format.
@Riddler95 It’s not hard to believe VHS dominated home video market. It was because people taped stuff from TV and didn’t want to bother with an LD player as well when they already had a VCR.
@jericotyler It’s not odd either that Laserdisc was big in Japan, it was basically marketed by Pioneer which is a Japanese company and Japanese consumers will pretty much buy anything Japanese companies tell them to buy.
??????? ?????
@macolest another thing is, laserdisks seem to be unknown by alot of people, not even my parents knew what a laserdisk was ( neither did i ) until a few years back.
are you mad!!!! you could have caused a parodox from using the old with the new!!!!
grew up watching stuff on betamax
i want that vcr
i like how you can eject it and watch the tape reel turn
@macolest Laser discs had a big market in japan oddly.
@Riddler95 The VHS won the format war because was much cheaper, also the JVC (vhs creator) royalties for produce VHS by other marks and distribute movies were cheaper.
Also there were other factors like vhs tapes can handle 4 hours in SP mode (PAL).
Laserdisk maybe failed because discs were too big and expensive.
Thanks for the reply.
I just watched a Comparison video of BetaMax and VHS and it clearly showed that BetaMax was sharper than VHS. It looked much better in my opinion.
It is hard to believe that VHS dominated the Home Video market for so long. Laserdisc was so much better than VHS and it did not get as popular as VHS in North America.
@Riddler95 Betamax was 260 lines, and SuperBetamax 300lines.
Thanks for comment.
What was the picture resolution of BetaMax?
VHS was 240 lines, but I don’t know what Betamax was.
@jupiter0225 I agree.Laserdisc was the bomb!
Excelente aparato, eso es una maravilla de la tecnologia, ya no hacen aparatos asÃ.
I love betamax, my mail djduke99@gmail.com
I used to own an SL-HF750. Regrettably, I had to trade down to an SL-HF400.
As for the reason why, the heads in the 750 were so worn out that the machine definitely couldn’t record well and playback was starting to go.
Unfortunately, the 750 used Pro4 video heads and finding a replacement head disc set is VERY hard and any heads that you could find were VERY expensive.
I couldn’t afford the price for repair, so I had to trade down to a working low end Super Beta hi-fi.
Woah!! Talk about top of the line for the time!
you are kidding me! hey! DVD IS OUT and you can record it in DVD on your computer or in some stores!
dude.. whats the difference between this and a vhs??.. is that a high def vhs thing
its still the best videsystem ever made
@zombiehellmonkey yes, it’s a real pleasure to use and see the tape moving and the vumeters also the brilliant picture quality. In ebay was selling for 300 Euro more or less (this PAL model).
@macolest thanks for your reply. It is a beautiful machine, must be a real pleasure to use. I am going to try and get hold of one. Do you know how much that model would cost these days?
