Established in Yokohama, Japan in 1927 as Victor Company of Japan, JVC became a leader in high-quality sound through the manufacture and sale of Victrola desktop phonograph players, followed by radios, Japan’s first “45/45” single-groove stereo record player, hi-fi speakers and 4-channel stereo records. JVC also played an important role in the development of television, commercializing Japan's first black-and-white and then color TVs . It also developed the two-head helical scan system, which became the foundation for videocassette recorders. In 1976, JVC introduced the world’s first VHS format video recorder, which became the de facto world standard for video and spawned an all-new culture of visual communication. Other firsts include the single-unit video camera/recorder in 1984, the pocket-sized digital video camcorder in 1995 and Everio hard-drive camcorders in 2004.
