|description=The Sony SL-C5 was the entry-level international Betamax, styled as the "baby brother" to the feature-rich SL-C7. Released in spring 1980, it was based on the Japanese J-series design and marked Sony's move away from piano key controls to a modern soft-touch interface. It featured BetaScan picture search and a wired remote control. The SL-C5 used the "C" chassis shared with the SL-C7, SL-T7, SL-T9, and SL-80x0 series. Regional variants included the SL-C5AS (Australia), SL-C5CH, SL-C5E (Continental Europe with CCIR B/G tuner), SL-C5EC (Switzerland/Austria), SL-C5EI, SL-C5SA (South Africa), and SL-C5UB (United Kingdom). The multi-standard SL-T7ME was based on the SL-C5 design. There was no direct NTSC equivalent; the contemporary American models were the SL-5600 and SL-5800. | |||
