Built on the 711D chassis, it featured an extensive 9-event 14-day timer, Beta noise reduction, audio dubbing, a 14-pin camera input, perfect picture pause, real-time tape counter, APS index marking, and a tape remaining indicator. It was also available in several regional variants including the SL-C9AS (Australia), SL-C9ES (Western Europe), SL-C9ECS (Switzerland/Austria), and SL-C9UB (United Kingdom). The companion PCM-701ES digital audio processor was often paired with the SL-C9 for digital audio recording.		\|description=The Sony SL-C9 was Sony's top-of-the-range PAL Betamax VCR for many years, first released in 1982. Built on the 711D chassis, it featured an extensive 9-event 14-day timer with crystal clock, Beta noise reduction, audio dubbing, a 14-pin camera input (Sony K-connector), perfect picture pause, real-time tape counter, APS index marking, and a tape remaining indicator. It was also available in several regional variants including the SL-C9AS (Australia), SL-C9ES (Western Europe), SL-C9ECS (Switzerland/Austria), and SL-C9UB (United Kingdom). The companion PCM-701ES digital audio processor was often paired with the SL-C9 for digital audio recording. The SL-C9 was a PAL-only model; there was no direct NTSC equivalent with this exact feature set, though the concurrent American SL-5100 (1982) was Sony's top NTSC front-loader before the Hi-Fi era.
