Sony was the creator of Betamax
VCR (VTR). The first home Video Recorder to hit the
markets May 10th, 1975 the LV-1901 and the VCR inside,
an SL-6200. Sony during the 1970s and 80s used the term 'VTR' (Video
Tape Recorder) while all other brands Beta and VHS manufacturers used the
term 'VCR' (Video Cassette Recorder). The 1970s and prior, real to real tape
recorders for studios etc. were called VTRS. It wasn't until JVC invented
VHS the term VCR came along. Betamax was the first format to start the home video
recording craze. Since 1975 technology has gone a long way. Since then the
format is now pretty much forgotten, other than collectors etc..
