SONY BVU-800 U-matic
A photo of a SONY BVU-800 U-matic Video Tape Recorder. The machine is an off-white metal rectangle, and its front face is covered in various knobs, buttons, jacks, and screens. Some buttons are blue or red, but most are white or orange with a black border. The upper right quadrant of the recorder is dominated by a grey tape deck, where the videocassette itself would be inserted.
