    This was my first VCR bought in the 70's

    Fantastic system, more populor in Europe.

    You could turn the tape over and record on the other side.

    Video 2000

    Video 2000 was developed by Philips and Grundig as a replacement for their ageing VCR, VCR-LP and SVR format machines and as a direct competitor to VHS and BETA. It boasted a flip-over cassette fractionally bigger than a VHS cassette, which could record up to 4 hours on each side. It also used a system of "Automatic" tracking with it's Dynamic Track Following (DTF) system. This meant that the tracking was always 100% perfect even on still pause and picture search modes. It achieved this by having the video heads mounted on piezo electric actuators which followed the tracks as they were scanned.

    Superficially the first generation Video2000 machines resembled their earlier relatives, the VCR and VCR-LP machines (N1500, N1700 etc.) They were roughly the same size and weight as the older machines, but that's where the similarity ended; the new machines were operated with all-electronic soft-touch buttons, and a micro processor was used to control the tape transport. The machines all featured a "GoTo" button whereby a specific tape-counter number could dialled in and the machine would speed off and find it. There was a problem with this, whereby the tape had to be rewound to the beginning if the counter was to be relied on to find a specific program. Also if the counter had gone backwards beyond zero, the the machine would wind the tape the wrong way to get to the specific number. The first three Video2000 machines could be converted to remote control with a little box that plugged into the front of the machine, although later machines had remote control as standard.

    The first V2000 format machine was the VR2020. This didn't have a still-pause or picture search modes, but still used DTF. There were several badge engineered versions of the VR2020 from manufacturers such as Bang and Olufsen, ITT, Pye etc.

    Soon afterwards followed the Philips VR2021 and VR2022. Although the VR2021had an identical feature set to the VR2020, it had more in common electronically with the VR2022 which had extra "Trick Play" facilities such as noise-free picture search and still pause. These two newer machines also used much nicer looking chrome on the front panel instead of Aluminium which tended to corrode easily.

    YEAH....ADMIN

    I STILL HAVE A PHILLIPS 2000 THE MODEL BEFORE THAT ON THE PICTURE, IN THE LOFT AND A CART LOAD OF TAPES IN A BOX.
