This was one of the most complex VHS VCRs ever sold.
It would accept both the regulat VHS tape and VHS-c compact tapes from that camcorder format, and was a great idea for those that had a SVHS-c camcorder.
Great ideas however don't always translate into a great device. These units were relatively well built, but unfortunately the way they were assembled makes them one of the more difficult (expensive) vcrs to do basic maintenance, and due to all the moving parts were more prone to break down.
At a time when companies were moving to fewer parts to improve reliability this was a step backwards. The cassette adapters were a great idea, and were perfectly functional.
