Referring to the question about whether you can hook the playback
of the SONY Betamovie to your VHS machine the answer is NO.

The unit doesn't play anything back.  It only records.  In fact
it won't even rewind the tape.  To the best of my recollection,
it has only one speed and the battery lasts about 2 hours.
Viewing what you record is through a viewfinder - not a screen.

The good part about it is that you don't need a recorder to go
with it.

Hope that helps.
