General Electric
Hi-Fi Stereo VHS VCR model
9-7785. Panasonic made VHS VCR. Dated December 4, 1987. Features, full function
and timer program wireless remote control, direct drive capstan motor, auto
rewind, noise free slow motion, centralized function display,
which displays stop play, REW, FF, and other functions, noise free still and frame advance, electronic tape counter,
record and playback in all three SP, LP, and EP modes, 3 weeks - 8 events timer,
4 heads, full on screen display, which displays all functions including
channel, play, stop, REW, FF, still, counter, time, and many other
functions, also a full blue screen timer program with help menus. These VCRS
were slightly ahead of the times in that era. The function display being one
of the best features. This was still at the beginning of the age where on screen display became popular. The following year, the new
Panasonic made VCRS did away with the function display on there VCRS. This
would be one of the rare models to feature both functions on the VCR and on
screen. The same basic design of General Electric's previous VCRS. The 1986
Model 9-7100
and
Model 9-7115
for example. Many versions/manufactured brands
under Panasonic, of these VCRS were being produced in that time, both top
and front loading versions with basically the same electronics. Neat
VCR!!
Common Problems:
Power supply. The symptoms will start with many different malfunctions. To
name a few, front display/clock/counter/functions starts to become dim in
areas, eventually going out completely, VCR does not power on, distorted
picture during playback. Power supply kits are available for most of these Panasonic made VCRS at
Studio Sound Electronics located in the links section. Feel free to share your info about the common issues with
these Panasonic built VCRS on the
Forums.
