Description
The Sony SLO-1700 was an industrial top-loading Betamax machine built on the 711A chassis, designed for professional and duplicating use. It featured two large VU audio level meters, Hi-Fi sound, linear stereo, separate Hi-Fi and linear audio level adjustments, and a head hours counter. Notably, it had no tuner or clock, reflecting its professional-oriented design where external timing and signal routing equipment would be used.
