Sony Video Recorder SLV-SE730G/I
2 of 2 found this helpful I've had many video players over the years as I've recorded all the time since 1979, but this one needs mentioning. The picture is absolutely perfect, extremely sharp, even on old videos, and the sound is beyond clear, plus,it's simple and easy to operate.
The Video has a good appearance and, as always, Sony does well. Other video recorders, far more expensive, never work as good.
For connections it has AV1 which has video in/out and sound in/out (21 pin SCART,) not actual yellow video in. No audio in red white socket exists on the video, but these are in the 21 pin socket AV1, you just need a SCART lead. Also it's got AV2 for a follow through signal, this SCART socket has video in and audio in only. It also has phono audio (out red and white) on the back to improve audio, by sending it to a hifi if you want.
It's got a good LED display, a simple remote and a good manual.
It has a lot of forward, rewind, and reverse frame features and records an absolutely perfect picture and sound, even on old tapes. It has an advanced computer chip inside controlling things. You can hear this activity as you use it: the machine is focusing in, adjusting sharpness, tracking, as you watch it and when you put in a cassette it waits, stops, starts, and adjusts.
Also it has a standard RF output for an old TV, and an aerial RF input.You can adjust the RF (channel 21) of the video recorder if there is interference from neighbors.
If you use 'pass through', via AV2, you can send a signal (e.g. a satellite receiver) through it, and the recorder behaves as though it wasn't there, sending the signal via AV1 to the TV.
If you want to use Audio(in: Red+White), or composite video (in: yellow), you simply use another recorder, or DVD player, for example, and use the audio and video(ins) on those, and then pass their AV1 SCART output to this video player. Hence you can use phono lead inputs to the unit if you want.
The resolution is high and detailed. For TV channel coverage it runs PAL(I). The video player/recorder is designed for the PAL television system ONLY.
About 80 countries use PAL, about 80 use NTSC and about 20 use SECAM, so check which TV standard your country uses before purchasing this recorder; however it says it will actually try to receive, record and play 60Hz NTSC and SECAM if you took it to those countries, but it can't guarantee a clear picture for these signals.
It also does VHF (IA to IJ), SA10 to 13, UHF B21 to B69, cable TV S01 to SO5, S1 to S20, and european S21 to S41. RF out is channels 21 to 69. Aerial out is 75ohm impedance. For tape speed it does SP:PAL 23.39mm/s, NTSC 33.35mm/s, LP:PAL 11.70mm/s, NTSC 16.67mm/s and EP:NTSC11.12mm/s. So it does somehow deal with NTSC as well but hasn't got 110V 60Hz AC in.
LINE 1 euro AV scart: video(in) is on pin 20, audio(in) is on pins 2 and 6, video(out) is on pin 19, and audio(out) is on pins 1 and 3. LINE 2/LINE3 AV scart has video(in) on pin 20 and audio(in) on pins 2 and 6.In both, video(in) is 1Vp-p 75ohm,unbalanced,(sync -ve)(RGB I've untested:0.7Vp-p on pins 7,11,15? 0V on 5,9,13?) and audio(in) is 327mV rms (input imped. 47kohm.) Phono audio(outs) L+R, at the back of the unit,have output impedance 10kohm. It consumes just 16W (+1.3W power save.) The remote controller is advanced,and takes two R6 AA batteries.
The sound quality is very clear and includes a MIX function for left and right channel audio(a sort of echo effect on the sound if required.) It also has standard, unaffected sound.
You can record from TV, or from various line inputs L2 L3. It has a fast rewind (1 min from an E180) and rewinds even old tapes right to the beginning, which not many recorders do. It even gives a clear picture right at the start of the tape.
This video recorder will only accept 220 to 240 Volt 50Hz AC mains power. It won't work if your country uses 120 Volt 60Hz AC mains.
The VCR is the same as the higher SE830G model but just doesn't have the jog dial (forward or reverse x3 or x4 speed), or phono input connectors and various unnecessary timers, but it has got a Power Save option, an optional onscreen digital clock and can do audio and video dubbing from another video recorder.
It plays and records in SP or LP.
It has NICAM stereo sound and has Video+, OSD, and you can adjust the picture sharpness with TRILOGIC.
The sound has many adjustments: LCH, RCH, STEREO, MONO.. for the audio(out) that you want. It also does indexing and monitoring.
It has an astounding playback picture and sound quality, and will record to the same standard. It automatically does tracking when you put a tape in. But it's also got manual tracking buttons on the front panel for old videos.
The video was built in 2003, at that time they we're built into the preferred DVD players hence their VCRs wore out. But the VCR only models such as the SE730 were put aside and somehow forgotten and hence hardly used so you usually find now it's a great VCR.

A long forgotten remote commander.
SONY RMT-V406 Remote Control
-------------------------------------------------
This remote I have tested on video recorder Sony model SLV SE 730G/I, so any mention of things that are coded 230 and 830, I haven't tested them with this remote myself, but they are written about in the manual which came with the 730G/I VCR that this remote drives perfectly without any problems. The manual says it is for: SLV SE830G, SE730G, SE730I, SE230G and SE230I. Note the I is the letter not number one. And the video I tested it on also had code I at the end which might mean it is for PAL TV in the UK which is PAL code I , so for your country you probably need the correct code number for the TV system at the end, see Worldwide TV Systems (NTSC, PAL, and SECAM). For SECAM or NTSC it will be different again, but it will still say 230G, 730G or 830G.
There are about 2 extra buttons on the 830G and about 2 less on the 230, everything else is identical.
It takes two AA R6 batteries, and negative end has to go in first to the negative connector.
The VCR it is for was made around 2003. Now if it is for an 830, it will have also a TV power on, TV mode select button and a teletext button to the left of the volume up and down buttons (these volume buttons are on the 230, 730 and 830). If it has a x2 button and a slow button, it is for a 830G, although this works perfectly, on 730G, it's just that 830G uses these buttons not only for the speed of playback but also for viewing fast text.
Now at the top right on the 730G and 830G remote is the audio monitor. You use this to select audio inputs left right stereo or mono channels. The 230G does not have this button, so it cannot select the sound, therefore it will probably just be set always to stereo. 230 also doesn't have the index search buttons (below slow and x2), double arrows and a line.
Now the manual is dated 2003, in it it says the remote will also operate a Sony TV, and the 830G model will operate a number of other TVs as well. Other manufacturers. It says provided the TV's themselves don't have their own remote, and the TV must have the 'R in a square' symbol near it's remote sensor. But, the televisions that they are talking about were probably 15 years ago, so they will be long gone now,
It says some televisions won't allow operation of the teletext, fast text, TV/video, program up and down, and volume up and down and menu up down left right and OK button, but again, 15 years ago, and who knows what models?
Note: I have not tested this remote with any TVs, so it is just an added bonus if it works on some old TV system.
Now, you cannot operate any menus without the remote commander, example tuning your TV channels, I mean there is no ok button for example or menu button on the VCR. And direction keys are ONLY on the remote. Only the remote commander can set the clock, set SP/LP, or do index counters. You can see by looking at it what functions it does.
The point is, you need this remote to control the video properly. Because when you have only the VCR, you only have tracking, play, pause, stop, eject, forward, back, record, program up and down channel, and power off. That is, anything more than the basics of a video you need the remote. For example, I use the audio monitor. It can set right left channel mono or stereo for your sound.
There is a button midway on the far right that you press to choose what audio and video input you want, i.e. line 1, line 2, or the television channel.
Or you can use the remote for doing video recording, stopping video, playing video, forward, back, as you can't possibly be going over to the video player all the time. You can do fast rewind straight from the remote and then use the remote to eject the video.
There are hundreds of things that this remote does, I can't list them all. Basically it operates every single thing in the video. And the manual contains countless operating instruction pages on the things you can do with it, names, links, code number entries; hence everything here is given briefly in reduced form to give you the basics.
It is a state of the art piece of electronics, courtesy of Sony.
Remember the remote has an infra red LED and the sensor in the video recorder has a photo diode (Infra red sensor.) The sensor on the VCR might have gone, if this has gone, obviously the remote won't work either.
It's very professional looking, and must be handled with care, it has quite a bit of weight.
It operates my old SLV-SE730G/I VCR absolutely perfectly, but as I've stated I haven't tested it with other VCR models or on any TVs.
Good Luck with it,
