[net.video] Who makes what

lionel@tle.DEC (Steve Lionel) (01/19/86)

Rick Beckenhauer's recent posting listed who made what in VCRs was
extremely handy - thanks, Rick!  I do have some additional comments,
though.

Teknika is a member of the Beta group and sells Beta VCRs in Japan.

Aiwa is half-owned by Sony and has in the past made VCRs for Sony
(for example, the SL-5200).  I am not sure if any current Sony models
are actually made by Aiwa.

Sanyo makes Beta VCRs for Radio Shack.

Sony makes at least one Pioneer-brand VCR.  (At least that top-end Pioneer
looks an AWFUL lot like the SL-HF900!)

Of course, this listing is not necessarily accurate for non-VCR items such
as cameras and camcorders.
