Video and audio players designed to reproduce (playback) video and sound information stored in a magnetic tape cassette (video cassette). These players usually consist of an electromechanical device that includes sound signal processors, controls, and an external slot for video cassettes or, less frequently, an attached open reel tape memory. The players may also include integral amplifiers, a display, and speakers (typical in portable players) or provide output to video reproduction systems (e.g., monitors or television sets). Video cassette players are available in tabletop, rack mounted, and portable versions; most video cassette recorders include also playback capabilities.
