V-Cord is an analog recording videocassette format developed and released by Sanyo.

The V-Cord II machines were the first consumer VCRs to offer two recording speeds.

The original V-Cord cassette had a large hub and was wound with standard-thickness magnetic tape; V-Cord II used a small hub wound with thin tape, the same thickness later used for VHS-120 and Beta L-750.

In STD mode both recording and playback heads are used, writing both fields of each interlaced video frame.

Two cassette types were available, a V60 and a V120 whose names matched their recording capacity in LP mode.
