This rare type of VCR has a special drawer that accepts two different formats of VHS into one system. Please subscribe and share! Thank you for watching!
I have the JVC HR-SC1000U and it has the drawer loading mechanism like the unit in your video. It is an SVHS model that plays regular VHS and VHS-C plus the SVHS versions of both. I got it in 1990 and it still works. About a month ago I transferred 3.5 hours of material to DVD for someone and it worked fine after not being used in at least 5 years.
nice vcr never thought they made one like this . JVC pioneered the vhs format but I never seen one for c-vhs too . I guess 8mm is a totally different monster in its own .tray loading would of been way better like top loaders of the day too before they went to front loading vcrs
2:58 The 2 RCU settings were intended for video editing. You set up the player as VCR 1 and the recorder as VCR 2. Then, the wireless editing controller that JVC sold can control both machines.
I can vaguely remember seeing that deck (or a similar model) @ an upper-scale stereo store, back in the early 90s. Looked cool, but seems to me like a solution to a problem that never existed. That is, I knew people who had VHS-C camcorders & it wasn't too much trouble to use the adapters. Nice find, none-the-less. And as for finding VCR's, I was @ my local Goodwill a few hours ago & they had about a dozen.
Wow I did not know whether there was a drawer loading VCR as well... But like the cassette player I like the first generation top loading mechanism...the slot loader can sometimes be figity.,
I need something better to digitise my tapes. My converter adapter works alright but then the videos are laggy in spots and the video stutters. My VHS-C adapter constantly clicks like it keeps missing a gear tooth or something and it's really irritating.
I had a lovely Toshiba SVHS VCR with a drawer loading mechanism, unfortunately there were too many problems with cracked and crazed plastic in the loading mech, i had to retire it to the landfill :(
Thats pretty awesome, I'm not a fan of VHS/VHS-C, but this was still a great video. I'eve never seen a drawer load VHS machine. I did see a VHS machine one time that loaded tapes sideways. They sure made a lot of unique VHS machines. Top-loader, front loader, drawer loading, side-loading LOL
databits amstrad sold a "double decker" which had two side load decks on the front, they had a different model that went in the conventional way but still double deck "for backups" again, no stereo, linear or Hi-Fi My favourite decks are the panasonic NV-F units, I had the f70 , looked awsome. also my first intro to stereo broadcast TV. our pay TV service at the time was RF Stereo with gerrald boxes.
LOL that particular LED display always appeared weak. There's a tinted piece of plastic over them that takes a lot of their brightness. We had a Zenith VCR with that same LED display (and menu system). JVC and Zenith VCRs from 1987 though 1991 were among the best in history. Those 2 brands also had the only sideways-loading VHS VCRS. And the only vertical (tower) VCRs were JVC-made Zenith machines.
Not led display, but a fluoresscent display, it has a gas sealed in the tube very simliar to a regular fluorescent light bulb. The numbers are glowing phospers. Its getting dim because the phospers are weak. These displays were in microwave oven touch panels and stereo equipment. Its made by a company called NEC. Tbey call it Nec fip. Fip stands for Fluoresscent indicator panel.
I remember for a while there were a lot of different combo options including 8mm, Dv or DVD burning. Never saw a combo VHS-C/ fullsize combo. I was smart, though, and went with JVC VHS-C camcorder for all home videos due to prevalence of the fullsize format. Also, chose an adapter with a thumbwheel rather than battery due to fears of the motor screwing up a priceless memory. I have two JVC S-VHS VCRs which have held up pretty well. I need to get transferring at some point. It's a shame the defacto movie format with billions of users just went away so completely. If you build it, they will come. If they stop wanting it, it will go...
Squeek! You think that might be slightly bad for the VHSC tapes? Eh..maybe not...nice machine! Stereophonic sound definitely would have been a nice feature for sure.
+Noah Davis - I'm not seeing how that would be slightly bad for the little tapes, but yes, stereo sound would have made it even more cool. Plus, I might have kept it! :)
+databits Thought it would have wore the magnetic material off slightly, but I guess not. I would have kept it for the uniqueness, but it's hard to decide what to keep and what not to keep at times when you're a collector of audiovisual gadgets!
Now this comment really has nothing to do with this vcr but it has something to do with a different vcr I have I have an Emerson VCR 4 head and it was given to me by a friend so it has no remote any idea what I could do to get a remote or something that would work for it? Thanks

It is simply a fly-wheel to better regulate the spinning of the spindle guiding the tape to the head-drum. The design also allows access to the screws beneath.
drawer loading only looks cool but it's the worst way of doing the job because drawers can break very easily! the slot system Apple does in most of its computers is way better ... yes, I know it's easier to get a stuck disc out of the drawer models than it is from a slot one but the latter is more logical to use ...
like databits videos in many respect EXCEPT for his mediocre choice of a video camera and carelessly shaky handling of that camera ... there are other people doing similar things on UA-cam and they are using much better cameras and work them much better too!

Wow... Its so... needlessly overcomplicated! I love it!
This is the main reason that I bought a Sega Cd 1 instead of the 2, I love drawer loading equipment
Did you know that there was a Betamax VCR that used the drawer style loading? The Sony SL-HF750!
+Fivos Sakellis - Wow! Cool!
It was Sony's flagship. It had the whole mechanism mounted in a motorised drawer. The cassette slides in it. Sony called it "linear skating".
I did not know that! Thanks!
nice vcr never thought they made one like this . JVC pioneered the vhs format but I never seen one for c-vhs too . I guess 8mm is a totally different monster in its own .tray loading would of been way better like top loaders of the day too before they went to front loading vcrs
Wow I have a JVC AND Zenith side loader, never seen a drawer loader VHS.
2:58 The 2 RCU settings were intended for video editing. You set up the player as VCR 1 and the recorder as VCR 2. Then, the wireless editing controller that JVC sold can control both machines.
Is interesting to know that the head only spins when you press the play bottom, that reduced wear on the tape.
I love this machine

Madness832 Thanks for your comment!
Sony DHR-1000 accepted both full-size and small DV cassettes.
Wow I did not know whether there was a drawer loading VCR as well... But like the cassette player I like the first generation top loading mechanism...the slot loader can sometimes be figity.,
Imagine making such a high end VCR like this but not making stereo standard. Bet this one sold like crap.
Sony had the slhf950 super beta HiFi VCR. The Sony draw could open and play the tape.
1:00 wait YOU HAVE KIRBY RIGHT BACK AT YA?!
Don't forget about the PlayStation 2 Fat model, that has a drawer loading mechanism.
Awesome!
I need something better to digitise my tapes. My converter adapter works alright but then the videos are laggy in spots and the video stutters. My VHS-C adapter constantly clicks like it keeps missing a gear tooth or something and it's really irritating.
The perfect VCR doesn't exi-
Chulada de VHS

Neil Robinson I'm sorry to hear that.
Ive got a stereo version of this vcr and its svhs but its not currently playing correctly it needs just one part
Sweet vcr. I have a vcr without a case. it lives in a cardboard box at the moment.
Thats pretty awesome, I'm not a fan of VHS/VHS-C, but this was still a great video. I'eve never seen a drawer load VHS machine. I did see a VHS machine one time that loaded tapes sideways. They sure made a lot of unique VHS machines. Top-loader, front loader, drawer loading, side-loading LOL
DvdXploitr Thanks for the comments! I thought this concept was cool. I'm still looking for one of those Zenith side loaders!
databits
amstrad sold a "double decker" which had two side load decks on the front, they had a different model that went in the conventional way but still double deck "for backups"
again, no stereo, linear or Hi-Fi
My favourite decks are the panasonic NV-F units, I had the f70 , looked awsome.
also my first intro to stereo broadcast TV. our pay TV service at the time was RF Stereo with gerrald boxes.
+voltare2amstereo the Amstrad model was DD9904...would be nice to stumble across a video of that one :)
would have been a nice deck except it was mono, no linear stereo, no hifi...
I bought my VCR at a thrift store. Works fine, although I wish it came with the remote.

I remember being wowed by this in a shop back when it was new. Also disappointed that it wasn't a hi-fi VCR.
There is a hifi version of this and its SVHS I have it fully restored and it has auto tracking and a tbc built in my dad got it around 1992.
But sony slhf950es has drawer loading mechanisms
What a feat of egineering ! WOW.
I've worked on these at my shop. Not lately tho...the Zenith side loader too, but that design didn't make sense.
0:59 Why do I see a KRBaY (Kirby: Right Back at Ya!) DVD case?
Neat!
10:58 ...show everybody what a great time you had at that dagger beheading...
And, the vhs c tape mode rewind and, fast forward with out let it touch the head (just a tiny bit close to touching) ,.
Nice
Very nice! My local thrift stores don't even accept VCRs for some reason.
simtitan1 That's really odd. All of ours have tons of VCRs.
Your lucky. If I went to your thrift store, how much should I expect to pay for a unit?
simtitan1 $6 to $25
I remember for a while there were a lot of different combo options including 8mm, Dv or DVD burning. Never saw a combo VHS-C/ fullsize combo.

+DelilahThePig - very true, thanks for the comments
Ive got this model but somethings wrong with mine it needs a gear repalcement adn I havent been able to find it.
World's great machine
If only they would make a slot loading VCR!
Pinkie Pie Enterprises That was the joke.
some of these VCR displays were weak and dim even when new. my parents had an Emerson VCR and you could barely see it even when it was new
Squeek! You think that might be slightly bad for the VHSC tapes? Eh..maybe not...nice machine! Stereophonic sound definitely would have been a nice feature for sure.
+Noah Davis - I'm not seeing how that would be slightly bad for the little tapes, but yes, stereo sound would have made it even more cool. Plus, I might have kept it! :)

That is cool! I agree, if only it had stereo......
JacksJunkDotCom Stereo would definitely make it more valuable.
lol I was just thinking the same betamax and vcr
What country was this unit made in?
6:10 to see it open
Thanks! =D
Now this comment really has nothing to do with this vcr but it has something to do with a different vcr I have
I have an Emerson VCR 4 head and it was given to me by a friend so it has no remote any idea what I could do to get a remote or something that would work for it? Thanks
808bloo Sure, you can buy a Harmony remote and it will very likely work for it. You might find an original remote for it on ebay.
Thanks
Very Cool. I saw one of these at a thrift store years ago. I didn't buy it because it did not work.
matmroy Thanks for watching!
0:57 bored *closes video*

Where did you find this, databits?
+Plamondonl7000 - thrift storeh
(9:52) a disc at the left upper side is spinning. ( what it does?)
It is simply a fly-wheel to better regulate the spinning of the spindle guiding the tape to the head-drum. The design also allows access to the screws beneath.
Thanks!
I like this machine from India
I would like to hace this vcr. Would you like to sell it? please let me know
I have long since sold it, but thanks for asking!
confirmed that the iphone 7 will have a drawer loading mechanism
Andrew Rhone Yeah, but what gets loaded into the drawer? hmmmmmm
+databits The SIM card containing phone number and carrier info, already using a drawer on the right side for several generations
It's like you aimed to get every failed format possible. HD dvd and dcc?
+Lazza Leppi - this was (is) precisely my aim
1:00 kirby

KCR is super machine of the world
JAPANESE VERSION IS HIFI SVHS

ua-cam.com/video/9IQo-161RlY/v-deo.html
spot the segasaturn!!
+strictlysega - good spot!
+databits my favourite console
Spot the Sony PSP!

Would be nice if the video about a drawer loading VCR actually showed it before 6 minutes in.
like databits videos in many respect EXCEPT for his mediocre choice of a video camera and carelessly shaky handling of that camera ... there are other people doing similar things on UA-cam and they are using much better cameras and work them much better too!
Then I recommend watching their videos instead! You'll just be missing out on all the cool stuff I've found. Too bad.
do not donate this stuff! it will ne thrown away! so keep and use it!
