|description=The Panasonic AG-7750 is a professional-grade S-VHS editing VTR produced by Panasonic. Released in 1991, it represents the high end of Panasonic's industrial S-VHS lineup, sitting above the prosumer [[Panasonic AG-1980P]] in features and signal processing capability.

The AG-7750's most significant distinction from prosumer S-VHS decks is its full Y/C digital TBC, which corrects both the luminance and chrominance signals. The AG-1980P and other Panasonic consumer/prosumer decks only apply TBC to the luminance (Y) channel; for full Y/C correction in the Panasonic lineup, the AG-7750 is the entry point. The TBC includes an integrated Proc Amp with front-panel adjustable controls for video pedestal level, video gain, chroma gain, and chroma phase, making it suitable for correcting degraded or off-standard source tapes.

Picture quality is enhanced by amorphous video heads, delivering horizontal resolution of over 400 lines in S-VHS mode (300 lines mono / 240 lines color in standard VHS mode). The 3-line logical Y/C comb filter reduces dot crawl and chroma noise during playback.

The RS-422 serial interface allows integration with most professional edit controllers and serial control systems. An optional timecode board handles both VITC and LTC; its presence can be confirmed by checking whether the front-panel counter display offers a timecode or user-bits mode. The deck also features a prominent jog/shuttle dial for precise tape positioning.

The AG-7750 was widely regarded as one of the best industrial S-VHS editors of its era and remains sought after for video archiving and tape-to-digital transfer work, particularly where chroma stability and broadcast-quality TBC are required.

The PAL variant is the AG-7750E, which additionally supports NTSC 4.43 playback. The AG-7650 is a closely related model sharing the same chassis and transport.
