Overview
The machine is special because it is the first Philips V2000 VCR to
have a long play mode giving a massive total
of 16 hours recording time on a single tape.
It also has linear stereo as well!
This model really showed what could be achieved with the
V2000 format. It is an excellent model by any standards. Like
most Philips V2000 VCR's it's a top loader and retains the classic
v2000 look incorporating a sloping front panel which contains a numeric
keypad for timer/clock setting.
It also features the unique operation principles of Philips V2000
machines with no stand-by/record button.
The XL mode ( long play as it is now known ) does not feature
fast, slow still or reverse playback modes but gave good
picture quality.
The machine retailed in the UK for £ 499 in 1984.
