Type: VHS-C → VHS Adapter Cassette
Motorized mechanism: Automatically stretches and feeds the tape onto the small cassette in the standard format, without having to manually pull the tape.
Energy: Operates on 1 × AA (Mignon) battery 1.5 V
Compatibility: Supports VHS-C and S-VHS-C tapes — not for other types of video recording formats such as Hi8, Video8 or MiniDV.
Purpose: Allows you to play and watch old home videotapes from a camcorder on a standard VHS player or transfer them to digital format using a VHS recording method.
You insert the VHS-C cassette into the adapter.
You close the lid and the adapter "stretches" the tape to the size of a standard VHS cassette.
You insert the adapter into the VHS player and play it like a normal VHS tape.
The motorized function makes the process easier and reduces the risk of belt damage compared to manual adaptation.
