Your new
VCR
Will you get
around to learning how to program it?
The new Mitsanyasonic FU1000C-KED Hi-Fi HQ S-VHS PIP NTSC/PAL VCR, with SP and LP, and featuring:
- a 50 key remote control; not a poofy remote with 5 buttons and an LCD, this is a MAN'S remote control. All the power to blow up your video at the press of a button.
- No sissy barcode timer settings, this baby takes 5 hours just to set the clock!
- Tape-munching button for rental tapes you think are a rip-off.
- Digital effects, allowing you to slice off Bill Collins' head and chop up the rest of him on screen.
- Audio dub, for dubbing decent music over your sister's heavy metal music videos.
- Revolutionary "tape vomit" eject system, which propels the tape across the livingroom into your hand.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Mitsanyasonic 333-FX Gold Model III.
