Hitachi V-300E
Not much is documented about the Hitachi V-300E. The surviving record is basically one period entry. Recording-Engineer (1983, p.55) covered the deck, listed there as the Hitachi PCM V300E, alongside the Technics SV-P100. The magazine called it a VHS-based unit that rack-mounted cleanly in a standard 19-inch rack.
The same review called it a step up from the SV-P100, with a few extra features and a correspondingly higher price. For scale, the Technics deck was then retailing at about $2,500, with street prices reported as low as $1,900.
The Archive's records have no specifications, production dates or standalone pricing for the V-300E itself. If you own one, or have the original manual, this page needs that documentation.
