The last videocassette recorder (VCR) in Japan will be produced by the end of the month, according to the Nikkei newspaper.

据日经新闻报道，本月月底，日本将制造最后一台盒式磁带录像机（VCR）。

Funai Electric has been producing VHS-playing VCRs for 33 years, most recently in China for Sanyo.

But last year it sold just 750,000 units, down from a peak of 15 million a year, and has been finding it difficult to source the necessary parts.

VCRs were introduced in the 1970s but were superseded¹ by DVD technology.

Last year, Sony announced it would stop selling Betamax video cassettes - a rival to the VHS. VCRs were required to play or record such tapes.

It was 12 years ago that UK High Street retailer² Dixons decided³ to phase out the sale of VCRs due to the popularity of DVD players.
