The VT-1600 was a Midi-size, high-definition HQ & Hi-Fi Stereo video recorder. This multi-functional device is compactly designed and measures just 32cm wide. It's the perfect size for Hitachi's "Wing" component system (Wing AV7, AV9).

When integrated into a "Wing" system it can be operated with an AV remote control. This VHS Hi-Fi VCR was part of Hitachi's Mastacs EX5 series of components. ● System: Rotating 2-head helical scan VHS system (NTSC compliant) ● Power consumption: 34W ● External dimensions: Width 320 x Height 95 x Depth 351 mm ● Weight: 7.5 kg.
