	The UVW-1600 plays both metal particle (Betacam SP) and oxide (original Betacam) cassettes in L-size (~~100~~+ minutes) and S-size (30+ minutes) formats. It provides two longitudinal audio channels with Dolby C noise reduction. A built-in TBC with digital dropout compensation ensures stable output, with remote TBC adjustment available through the rear-panel 15-pin D-sub connector.
