Both use half-inch tape, but they are incompatible: Beta programs cannot be played on VHS machines and vice versa. Sony markets only Beta machines; RCA, GE and Panasonic, among others, market only VHS. Sears sells both.

Scrambling units in current use weigh about 70 lbs. and take up the space of two filing-cabinet drawers. Electronics experts expect the new units to employ small, inexpensive microcircuits built directly into the telephone receiver. The scrambler converts signals produced by conversation into electronic "white noise" that...
