Sony 8mm VCR - Player / Recorder - Hi8 Playback - Professional - Sony EVO-540

• Has Hi8 playback capability which is designed to playback Hi8 recorded tapes. When Hi8 recorded tapes are inserted, the EVO-540 automatically adjusts the de-emphasis circuit for the Hi8 format. So you can playback Hi8 and standard 8mm tapes.

• Equipped with AFM Hi-Fi stereo and PCM digital stereo recording systems. Digital PCM audio delivers sound quality to rival CD's.

• The EVO-540 can read both professional 8mm time code and RC time code. By reading either time code recorded on the tape the EVO-540 can quickly and easily locate desired points on the tape.

• Auto Repeat - The VTR senses a blank section of six seconds or longer at the end of the program and automatically rewinds the tape to the initial start point. Then playback begins.

• In addition to the stereo recording capability, the EVO-540 has secondary audio playback capability. Since two different sound sources are recorded on separate audio channels, such as in bilingual audio system, either Main, Sub, or Mixed sound monitoring can be selected.

• Has a timer playback function. When the timer is set to on, the EVO-540 will automatically go into playback mode when the power is turned on. Thus playback operation can be controlled by an external AC timer.
