Description
The Sony SL-HFR30 was part of Sony's Hi-Fi Ready series and the second-generation E-Z Beta line. Built on the 711B2 chassis with 2 heads, it was designed to accept the external HFP-100 or HFP-200 Beta Hi-Fi adapter for stereo Hi-Fi audio playback and recording. Without the adapter, it operated in mono. It featured a digital tuner with 14 presets (VHF/UHF only), a wireless remote (#RMT-124), and a 6-event, 7-day timer.
