Description

The Sony SL-C20 was a stylish, slim basic Betamax model and the brother of the SL-C30. The SL-C20 had no remote control and was silver in colour, whereas the SL-C30 was black and included a remote. The two were otherwise indistinguishable. These machines incorporated many features of the mechanism used in the earlier SL-C9, albeit stripped down to reduce manufacturing cost. The SL-C40 was a stereo version with linear stereo and Beta noise reduction. Regional variants included the SL-C20E (Continental Europe, 220V) and SL-C20UB (United Kingdom, 240V). The SL-C20 was a PAL-only model with no direct NTSC equivalent.
