Description

The VT-5600A was Hitachi's entry-level VHS VCR for the North American market in 1980. It featured a 2-head design with SP, LP, and EP recording and playback speeds. The unit used a mechanical tuner with knobs for VHF/UHF channels only and included a basic 1-event, 10-day programmable timer. The top-loading cassette mechanism was typical of early VCRs from this era.
