The Sony SLV-469 is a versatile VHS VCR that stands out in the realm of home entertainment systems. Introduced in the late 1990s, this model was designed to cater to consumers seeking a reliable video cassette recorder that provided excellent playback and recording features.

One of the main features of the SLV-469 is its ability to provide high-quality playback of VHS tapes, delivering clear audio and video output.

The model supports standard play, long play, and super long play modes, enabling users to choose the recording time that best fits their needs.

A significant technology included in the SLV-469 is its advanced timer recording capability. This feature allows users to set specific recording schedules, ensuring that they can capture their favorite shows even when they are not at home. The intuitive programming makes it easy for users to navigate and set the recording times with precision.

The SLV-469 also boasts an end search feature, which quickly locates the end of a tape, preventing accidental overwriting of previously recorded content.
