Audio / video center "Electronics VMTs-031" was developed in 1990. Here is information about the VIC from the site http://www.stereo.ru/: There was a task to develop a universal video-audio-center VIC-031, realizing the maximum of magnetic recording capabilities. We carried out it, having made a working sample, and successfully reported on the work done to the supervising commander-in-chief of the IEP. The center consists of three blocks that can be placed vertically on top of each other, as shown in the photo, or horizontally. The main one is a three-speed (SP, LP, EP) VHS recorder with AM / FM stereo sound and alternative power supply (shown above). Below it is the VMP-031 video program device unit, which contains a TV tuner, a SECAM"u003e PAL transcoder, an electronic calendar clock and timer rewriting and recording programming systems, and the original ZVP-031 block of a four-channel PCM audio processor is located below. The dimensions of the base of the above blocks are the same, and the height of the first one is equal to the sum of the heights of the two others placed on each other. VMC-031 to the date of its development had the following significant advantages compared with the Japanese and manufactured by our counterparts. Then the VHS recorders in Japan were not released, and the EP speed was found for video recorders only NTSC. The ability to work at EP speeds with Hi-Fi stereo phonogram provided significant cost savings for cassettes with high image and sound quality. The VMC-031 was much smaller than the VM-15 player (Voronezh modification VM-12, "half past eleven") and could be powered from 12 V. The presence of the SECAM / PAL transcoder provided high-quality video recording of SECAM programs. The presence of the ZVP-031 block of the PCM sound processor allowed using the VMTs-031 for high-quality digital sound recording (up to 18 hours of PCM stereo on an E-180 cassette). The VIC-031 video player could be used independently and assembled taking into account the interests and financial capabilities of the user, i.e. did not impose unnecessary costs. However, all these advantages did not make a proper impression on the ministry.The objections were on the level of statements such as "distribute" and "the Japanese do not do that." We did not receive the expected support from Saratov.
