SLV-469 specifications

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 VCR supports various tape lengths, including T-120s, allowing users to record and view hours of video content. 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. The model is equipped with a built-in tuner, providing users the convenience of directly connecting to cable or antenna sources. This allows for easy capturing of broadcast television programs in addition to playing back pre-recorded tapes.

Another characteristic of the SLV-469 is its user-friendly design. The front panel features a simple layout with clear labeling, making it easy for users to operate. Additionally, the model includes various output options, such as composite video and audio jacks, allowing for seamless connectivity with other components, including televisions and audio equipment.

Moreover, the SLV-469 supports standard features like the auto-rewind function, which automatically rewinds tapes to the beginning once playback is finished, enhancing user convenience. The inclusion of on-screen programming greatly simplifies the user experience, allowing for easier navigation of settings and functions.

The Sony SLV-469 remains an excellent choice for collectors of classic films, home videos, or those looking to enjoy a nostalgic viewing experience with VHS tapes. Its reliable performance, practical features, and ease of use make it a valued component in any home entertainment setup.
