The advert shows a collection of hands holding remote controls up in the air. The ad promises an easier way to program your VCR using VideoPlus+ technology, featured in the HR-D880, HR-D820, and HR-DX22 VCRs. Hands up if you find video programming a nightmare. Sleep easy, it's a thing of the past. How many times have you gone to bed hoping your favourite programme is being recorded on video for you to watch at your leisure, only to find when you settle down to view, that what you have is two hours of the test card with an audible drone. Not any more. As usual the inventor of VHS has come up with the perfect solution to this all too-common problem. JVC and VideoPlus+™™ have combined their expertise to make programming disasters a thing of the past. JVC has incorporated the revolutionary VideoPlus+™ circuitry into three new video recorders the HR-D880, HR-D820 and the compact HR-DX22. How JVC VideoPlus+TM works Most publications with a television viewing guide print the "VideoPlus+™™" code numbers after each programme. Simply key the code into your remote control and transfer directly into the VCR. No worries about dates, days, times. Everything is programmed automatically. High performance is the JVC standard, for example the HR-D880 features a NICAM digital decoder for near-CD quality sound. 4-head system for record/playback and special effects. Long-play mode to double tape duration, and the unique "PDC" (Programme Delivery Control) that gives you accurate timer recording regardless of programme schedule changes, late running and interruptions. It really does think for itself. JVC VideoPlus+™ is here. Give yourself a demonstration at your JVC dealer. Sweet dreams. *Videoplus+™ and PlusCode™ are trade marks of Gemstar Development Corp. † PDC not yet available on all channels

This is a black and white advertisement featuring two men with sausages placed on forks at their mouths. The ad promotes a microwave with grilling functionality. Text highlights the convenience of the appliance for cooking various foods. A picture of the microwave is at the bottom left of the picture. Get a Panasonic Micro & Browner and you're laughing. When you microwave a sausage, you should get a banger, not a damp squib. That's why Panasonic developed the Micro & Browner. The idea (like all good ideas) is simple. We added a grill. So you get all the speed of a microwave with the browning and crisping of a traditional grill. What's more, the grill can be used with the microwave, or without. It's the best thing for toast since sliced bread. PANASONIC CONSUMER ELECTRONICS UK. WILLOUGHBY ROAD, BRACKNELL, BERKS. RG12 4FP. TELEPHONE: 0944 853949

From a 1980 Readers Digest...

An advertisement for Datsun cars, with a breakdown van towing a broken down car. The ad highlights Datsun's reliability, fuel economy, and competitive financing options. The advert provides a cost breakdown for the Datsun Cherry 1.0L. Even a Datsun occasionally meets a breakdown van. A recent survey by the leading consumer motoring magazine (we're not allowed to say which) has shown that Datsun have the most reliable cars made. Coupled with Datsun's excellent fuel economy, high level of equipment and three year warranty, this further proof of Datsun's quality is bad news for our rivals. And what's more, it's now easier to buy a Datsun. We'll supply the car at list price with nothing to pay for luxury extras, or on the road charges. It's all in the price. Furthermore, if you buy a Datsun before October 24th, we'll offer you exceptional finance through Datsun Finance Ltd. There's a choice of two low-cost options:- 4% per annum interest over three years with 20% deposit (A.P.R. 7.8%). Example: Cherry 1.0L. ...............................£3850.86 On-the-road charges.......................NIL Deposit (20%). ...............................£770.20 36 monthly repayments of........£95.85 Average weekly cost ......................£22.12 Total purchase price. .....................£4225.60 Saving of ...........................................£554.40* Or 2% per annum interest over two years with 1/3rd deposit (A.P.R. 4.1%)-monthly repayment £111.24 on the above example. All of which should leave our rivals rather stuck for words. If they're not stuck beside the road waiting for the breakdown van to arrive. Applies to all Datsun cars except Micra and Prairie. *Compared to a typical terest rate of 10% (20% A.PR.).
