“Sony. The one and only.”

And now, a spot for the Sony Betamax recorder featuring a proud father fast-forwarding through a “boring” tennis match. The commercial aired in December of 1979. It’s a shame that VHS won the popularity battle over the Betamax, as Beta offered better quality. Darn those consumers!
