When was the VCR invented?
Sony came out with the first VCR for home use in 1975. It was called the Betamax. A year later, JVC introduced its VHS videocassette recorder. After a several-year battle, the VHS became the VCR standard. Sony began producing VHS recorders in 1988 and produced its last Betamax in 2002. The true first VCR was invented in 1956 and was the size of a piano. The VCR was invented in 1971 along with the dot-matrix, food processor and the liquid-crystal display The VCR that we see these days was invented in 1970.

What VCR format lost out to VHS in the 1980's?
JVC and others developed VHS (Video Home System) while Sony launched the Betamax format as a direct competitor. Although Betamax was technically superior to VHS and offered a higher picture quality, it lost the video tape format war after a number of years. The Betamax adopters were very limited with only Sony and Sanyo making any impact in the market. Betamax was more popular in North America than Europe and was still on the market for several years after they disappeared from British and European stores. It is interesting to note that some of the technologies and developments that went into the Betamax format were further developed into a format called Betacam. Betacam was the first of the truly portable broadcast tape formats and became the de facto standard throughout the broadcast world for news gathering. It is only in recent years that other formats have competed with Betacam as the industry moves to HD.
Can you record a cable program on your VCR if your cable is run to the TV without a cable box?
Yes, you can as long as you have the coax cable connected to the VCR first and then to your TV. Some TVs have RCA A/V outputs also and you can connect a VCR to them. Even better is to use the RCA A/V connections from the cable box to VCR, VCR to TV.
Who requested the external clock on the VCR and which company was he chairman of?
The first `consumer VCR' was put on the market by Sony in 1974. It was the Betamax and could only record one hour at a time. It also came with a clock that had a plug in the back for the VCR and it was used as a timer mechanism. You'd set the clock to `alarm' just like any other clock, but instead, it would turn on the power to the VCR, which would then start recording. (For what it's worth, I no longer have the VCR, but I still have the clock and I use it even today.) Sony also invented the VHS format, but sold it to JVC because Sony didn't feel that the picture quality was good enough over all. That's also what killed the Betamax: recording time. VHS could do six or eight hours, depending on the tape and Sony couldn't do more than four and a half. Naturally, as it turns out, picture quality wasn't as important as recording time to the average consumer. Of course, the later versions of the VHS machine had made several improvements which allowed for a half way decent picture in the extended mode. Funny thing is, Sony had to license the rights back to make VHS recorders. Go figure.
