SANYO VZ-CS50 (1989) - S-VHS Hi-Fi Stereo

 

Brand: SANYO

Model: VZ-CS50

Year: 1989

In order to unleash the full potential of S-VHS, it is necessary to develop technology specifically for S-VHS, rather than taking-it as an extension of conventional VHS technology. Based on this idea, Sanyo focused on the chassis structure, which affects image and sound quality. A mid-mount system has been adopted. By locating the core mechanism in the center of the body, the influence of external vibrations is minimized, and at the same time, vibrations generated by the mechanism itself are distributed almost equally to the insulators at each corner and absorbed. By fundamentally improving the system design, was possible to achieve a high level of stability in tape running, which determines image and sound quality at the most fundamental level. Also Brass impedance rollers are installed on both the inlet and outlet sides of the cylinder, which are particularly effective in reducing screen distortion and color shift caused by unstable tape running. The large diameter impedance roller of 18mm on the inlet side reduces the low-frequency jitter component that mainly appears as large vertical line undulations, while the small diameter impedance roller of 10mm on the exit side reduces the small flickering undulations around 1kHz. The adopted S-VHS system offers high image quality aided by Digital noise reduction, digital tracking. For an audio dynamic range of 90 dB the Stereo Hi-Fi system was adopted. There is even more, the VZ-CS50 also features built-in satellite receiver, jog-shuttle control, "picture creative" color and sharpness control, title generator, flying erase head, insert dubbing, digital multiscreen. Stereo audio is also transmitted from the VZ-CS50 to the remote control where you can connect your headphones.
