DESCRIPTION

The Sanyo VCR 4032 is a front loading SuperBeta that records and plays back in BII and BIII. Cable ready 105 channel tuner with 12 presets. Feather touch transport controls with forward and reverse picture search with still pause. Built-in 14-day/8-event timer with every day and every week feature. OBR (One Button Recording) for easy timer based recording. Preset automatic termination of recording and simple editing. Infrared remote duplicates most button operations. 4-digit electronic tape counter with memory stop. Automatic rewind at the end of the tape. Dew sensor with front panel indicator. Simple to use with smart styling this black recorder would make a comfortable purchase for an attractive price. Like most Sanyo Betas it unthreads the tape prior to performing rewind and fast forward. The tape moves inside the cassette shell during those modes. This maneuver reduces wear on the tape path components. Refurbished inside and out with 90 day warranty. Includes a superb reproduction of the original owner’s manual.
