PR-7820 was made by "Pioneer" and sometimes rebadged. As far as I know it came out in 1979.

Hmm that conflicts with Wikipedia and
this which implies that it was originally manufactured by MCA to their DiscoVision spec and later OEM'd by Pioneer with essentially the same model number (PR7820 became PR
-7820) until they built their own product.
I have seen players with both badges but right now I
might have a lead on an MCA DiscoVision branded unit that is within driving distance. Between that, some of my own memories and people constantly blabbing on about the 8000 being "the first", I was wondering exactly if that statement was true.
