In 1963, Ampex offered a consumer version of a videotape recorder, which was sold as a novelty for the super-rich through the Neiman-Marcus Christmas catalog for about $30,000.
In 1964, Sony marketed the first reel-to-reel videotape recorder designed specifically for home use. It used 1/2-inch tape which was threaded around a spinning drum containing the tape heads. They sold thousands of them to individuals as well as schools and colleges. The Sony CV-2000 should probably be considered the immediate precursor to the video cassette recorder, as it was the machine that everyone thought of as a video recorder before the first real VCR was introduced.
In 1969, Sony demonstrated a prototype video cassette recorder, using the U-Matic cassette format. They didn't bring it to market until 1971. The Sony VO-1600U could be considered the first production VCR.
