which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially  from those  anticipated  in these  forward-looking  statements  as a
result of  certain  factors,  including  those set forth in the  following  risk
factors  and  elsewhere  in this  Prospectus  and  information  incorporated  by
reference  into  this  Prospectus.  See  "Disclosure  Regarding  Forward-Looking
Statements."

Accumulated Deficit

       Incorporated in 1984, the Company began generating revenues from sales of
its  Dual-Deck VCR in 1990 after  discontinuing  prior  operations.  At June 30,
1996,  the  Company had an  accumulated  deficit of $14.2  million.  There is no
assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations in the future.

Dependence on Dual-Deck VCR Product

       The Company  expects that the majority of its  operating  revenues for at
least the next two fiscal years will be derived from sales of the Dual-Deck VCR.
In 1995, the Company introduced the GV40xx series, which is manufactured for the
Company under contract by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.  ("Samsung").  The GV40xx
series features a redesigned chassis and other internal components which reduced
manufacturing  costs over the preceding series. In 1996, the Company  introduced
the GV60xx  series,  which is  manufactured  for the Company  under  contract by
Shintom Co. Ltd. and Talk Corporation ("Shintom").  The GV60xx series features a
stacked design and a further  reduction of  manufacturing  costs over the GV40xx
series.  Samsung  reduced its selling prices to the Company on the GV40xx series
for  purchases  of new  inventory  after March 1996,  although not to the levels
available  to the Company from  Shintom.  The Company  subsequently  reduced its
selling  price on certain  models of the Dual-Deck VCR line to its customers and
anticipates reducing prices on other models in the future to increase sales. The
success of these models depends on a variety of factors,  including  general and
retail  economic  conditions,  the  effectiveness  of the  Company's  sales  and
marketing efforts, and the reliable supply of inventory from both manufacturers.
There is no  assurance  that these  models or future  models  will enjoy  market
acceptance at quantities and prices necessary to be commercially  successful and
profitable to the Company.

       The Dual-Deck VCR has been designed for home use as a full featured video
cassette  player/recorder.  Company-  prepared  literature  and owner's  manuals
caution  consumers  that the  Dual-Deck VCR should not be used in a manner which
infringes on the rights of owners of  copyrighted  material.  The Company cannot
predict the  likelihood  that  distribution  of the current or future  Dual-Deck
models will be challenged for any reason, but the Company believes that
                                        3
<PAGE>
it would have meritorious  defenses to any challenge.  The Company believes that
the  Dual-Deck VCR is the video  equivalent or betterment of the  dual-transport
audio tape deck, which has become an accepted industry standard.  The Company is
not currently developing a digital formatted player or recorder and is unable to
predict  the  impact on the  Company  of  developing  digital  technologies.  In
addition,  the  Company  is unable to predict  the impact on the  Company of any
changes to intellectual  property rights resulting from  legislation  related to
the development of digital consumer video products.

       The Company's  business  strategy includes the acquisition or development
of new  consumer  electronic  products to increase  revenues and to decrease the
Company's  reliance on sales of the Dual-Deck VCR. Because of the potential cost
and  opportunistic  and highly  variable  nature of an  acquisition  and product
development strategy,  there is no assurance that the Company will be successful
in pursuing additional diversification.

Distribution

       The  Company's  current  marketing  strategy  is to  continue to sell its
products to retailers, catalogs, and direct mail syndicators with the support of
independent   manufacturers'  sales   representatives  that  represent  specific
geographic  or  industry  territories  throughout  North  America  and who  also
represent many other manufacturers of consumer electronic products.  The Company
is  marketing  its products in overseas  markets  directly to  distributors  and
retailers.  There  can be no  assurance  that  the  Company's  distribution  and
marketing strategies will be successful or cost effective.

       For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, Circuit City represented 14% of
the  Company's  revenues.  No other  account  represented  more  than 10% of the
Company's  revenues.  The loss of Circuit City or another  significant  customer
could have an adverse affect on operating results.

Competition

       The consumer  electronics  market is competitive and is  characterized by
rapid  technological  change,  general price erosion,  and periodic shortages of
components.  Most  of  the  Company's  actual  and  potential  competitors  have
substantially  greater  financial,   manufacturing,   technical,  and  marketing
resources  than  does  the  Company.  Moreover,  most of  these  companies  have
established  distribution  channels  that afford them a  competitive  advantage.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to compete  successfully  in
its chosen markets.

Manufacturing and Licensing

       The Company does not have  manufacturing  facilities  and therefore  will
continue to be dependent on Samsung and Shintom, or any other manufacturers with
which the Company might contract for the  manufacture of its products.  A change
in the ability or  willingness  of Samsung or Shintom to  manufacture  Dual-Deck
VCRs for the Company could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.  The
Company  also has  license  agreements  with  Samsung  whereby  the  Company has
licensed to Samsung the  non-exclusive  right to use the Company's  patented and
proprietary technology to manufacture and sell Dual-Deck VCRs for sale under its
own brand worldwide in competition  with the Company.  The Company believes that
if Samsung were to exercise its rights under the VHS/VHS License Agreement,  the
Company's  revenues and profitability  could be affected in a materially adverse
manner.

Product Enhancements and New Products

       Because  of the  rapid  rate  of  technological  change  in the  consumer
electronics  industry,  the  Company's  success will depend in large part on its
ability to  introduce  products  on a timely  basis that meet a market need at a
competitive price and with acceptable profit margins.  There can be no assurance
that the Company will be  successful  in  overcoming  engineering  obstacles and
other impediments and in introducing any new products on a profitable basis.

Patents, Trademarks, and Proprietary Rights

       The  Company  has  made  significant   investments  in  certain  patents,
trademarks,   and  proprietary   rights.  The  Company  believes  that  patents,
trademarks,  and proprietary rights once established are generally  important in
the consumer  electronics  market, and the loss, denial, or infringement of such
patents, trademarks, and proprietary rights
                                        4
<PAGE>
could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

Need for Additional Funds

       Management  believes that the Company's current capital resources will be
sufficient to meet its cash  requirements  for the next twelve months.  However,
management also believes that additional financing through debt or equity may be
required to materially  expand the Company's  current business or to support the
development  and  introduction  of new products  such as the LCD  projection  or
digital  direct-view  televisions.  No final  determination  as to the forms and
amounts of such  financing has yet been made and there is no assurance that such
financing, when required, would be available on terms favorable to the Company.

Shares Available for Future Sale and Possible Dilution

       There are 11,426,478  shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding as
of October  21,  1996.  In  addition,  as of October 21,  1996,  the Company had
outstanding  warrants  and options to purchase up to an  aggregate  of 5,028,328
shares of Common Stock at varying prices per share and Notes convertible into up
to 3,000,000  shares of Common Stock.  Of the shares  underlying the outstanding
warrants and options, 3,752,495 have been registered under the Securities Act.

       The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes issuance of a total
of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock without further action by stockholders.

       The existence of options,  warrants, and convertible securities,  as well
as any future issuance of Common Stock available under the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation,  could reduce the prevailing market price of the Common Stock,
and could adversely  affect the terms at which the Company may be able to obtain
additional  equity  financing.  In  addition,  the ability of the Company to use
authorized  but unissued  shares of Common  Stock  without  further  stockholder
approval  for  financing  or for other  corporate  purposes  may  cause  further
dilution of the  stockholders'  and warrant  holders' actual or potential equity
interest in the Company.

No Dividends

       The Company has paid no dividends to its stockholders since its inception
and  does not plan to pay  dividends  in the  foreseeable  future.  The  Company
intends to reinvest  earnings,  if any, in the  development and expansion of its
business.

                                   THE COMPANY

       Go-Video  is  a  consumer   electronics   marketing,   development,   and
distribution  company  that  designs,  develops,  and markets  electronic  video
products  for home and  business  use. The Company  retains an  experienced  and
motivated  management  team that  oversees a broad  marketing  and  distribution
network which includes many of the major consumer electronics retailers in North
America,  such as: Circuit City, Sears,  Montgomery Ward Electric Avenue, Nobody
Beats the Wiz, The Good Guys, Thorne America, Sharper Image, and Sun T.V.

       In addition to its retail  distribution,  the Company has been successful
in marketing its products  through  alternative  marketing venues such as credit
card inserts and catalogs.  As a result of its presence  throughout the consumer
electronics  marketplace,  Go-Video  has  established  itself  as an  innovative
marketer and developer of high-end,  high margin product lines and is positioned
to launch a variety of  technologically  advanced products over the next several
years.

       Go-Video  currently  derives most of its revenue from the distribution of
video cassette  player/recorders ("VCRs") with two decks built into one unit the
Dual-Deck(TM) VCR. Since its introduction six years ago, the Go-Video Dual- Deck
VCR has been established as a new category in consumer electronics, growing to a
$35 million per year business with over 350,000 decks sold to date.  The Company
developed  and patented the Dual-Deck  system,  which  incorporates  proprietary
circuitry and software to perform  duplicating,  dual  recording,  editing,  and
video view switching  functions not available from single deck VCRs. The Company
recently  introduced  a line of wireless  home and business  video  security and
surveillance  products and the Company is currently  involved in the development
of digital  television  products  and home  theater  systems  for  consumer  and
commercial use.

       Since current  management took control in 1994, the Company has (i) added
a second Dual-Deck  manufacturer to reduce  manufacturing  costs, reduce product
sourcing  risks,  and increase  marketing  and sales  flexibility;  (ii) built a
strong executive  management team with a mix of industry and high-tech  business
experience;  (iii)  discontinued  slow-moving  product  lines  and  written  off
obsolete inventory; and (iv) begun development of an international Dual-Deck VCR
to reach sizable overseas markets.

       Go-Video  was  incorporated  in Arizona in 1984,  completed  its  initial
public offering in 1986, and  reincorporated  in Delaware in 1987.  Sales of the
Dual-Deck  VCR began in June 1990.  In August  1996,  the  Company  completed  a
private  placement of the Notes.  The Company's  executive  office is located at
7835 E. McClain Drive,  Scottsdale,  Arizona, 85260, and its telephone number is
(602) 998-3400. The Company has regional sales offices in Pittsburgh and Dallas.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

       The net  proceeds to the  Company  from the  exercise of the  warrants is
estimated to be approximately $19.2 million. However, the Company is unlikely to
receive  proceeds in this amount  because a  substantial  number of the warrants
have a high exercise  price and expire in March 1997. In addition,  there can be
no assurance that any of the warrants will be exercised. The Company anticipates
using any net  proceeds  for working  capital  and  general  and  administrative
expenses.

                                    DILUTION

       The net  tangible  book  value of the  Company as of June 30,  1996,  was
$4,525,781 or $0.40 per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share
represents  the  amount  of the  Company's  total  tangible  assets  less  total
liabilities,  divided by the number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding.  Net
tangible book value dilution per share  represents  the  difference  between the
amount per share paid by investors upon exercise of the Publicly Issued Warrants
and the Private and Unit  Warrants,  in  exchange  for Common  Stock and the net
tangible book value per share after the exercise of such warrants.  After giving
effect to the exercise of the Publicly  Issued Warrants and the Private and Unit
Warrants  and the assumed net  proceeds to the Company of  $19,161,720,  the net
tangible book value of the Company
                                        6
<PAGE>
as of June 30, 1996, would have been  $23,687,501,  or  approximately  $1.61 per
share. This represents an immediate increase of net tangible book value of $1.21
per share for existing  shareholders,  an immediate  dilution of $6.49 per share
for  holders of the  Publicly  Issued  Warrants,  and an  immediate  increase of
tangible  book value of $0.14 per share for the  holders of the Private and Unit
Warrants who exercise their warrants, as illustrated in the following table:

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

         The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common  Stock,  $0.001  par value per share,  of which  11,426,478  shares  were
outstanding  as of October 21,  1996.  Each share of Common Stock is entitled to
share pro rata in dividends and  distributions,  if any, when and if declared by
the Board of Directors,  from funds legally available therefor.  The Company has
not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not  anticipate  paying
cash  dividends  in the  foreseeable  future.  No holder of any shares of Common
Stock has any pre-emptive right with respect to any securities of the Company to
be  issued.   The  issued  and  outstanding  Common  Stock  is  fully  paid  and
nonassessable.  Stockholders as such are not personally  liable for debts of the
Company.  Holders of Common  Stock  will share  ratably in the net assets of the
Company in the event of  liquidation,  unless  there are then  preferred  shares
which may have  preferences on  liquidation.  There are no  redemption,  sinking
fund, or conversion rights applicable to the Common Stock.

         Holders  of Common  Stock are  entitled  to one vote for each  share of
record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to the rights
of holders of any class or series of shares having a preference  over the Common
Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation,  holders of Common Stock are entitled
to such dividends as may be declared by the Company's  Board of Directors out of
funds lawfully available therefor,  and are entitled upon liquidation to receive
pro rata the assets available for  distribution to shareholders.  Holders of the
Common Stock have no preemptive,  subscription or conversion  rights. The Common
Stock is not subject to assessment and have no redemption provisions.

The Notes

         On July 15, 1996, the Company privately offered the Notes in the amount
of $250,000 each. The Notes have the following characteristics:

         Conversion  Privilege.  Each of the Notes is  convertible  into 200,000
shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock at $1.25  per  share.  The Notes may be
converted into shares of Common Stock at the holder's election at any time after
issuance  or at the  Company's  election  after  the  third  anniversary  of the
issuance of the Notes.

         Conversion Terms. Holders of the Notes may convert at any time provided
that the holder notifies the Company with written notice via U.S. Mail, courier,
or confirmed facsimile transmission of the intention to convert. The Company may
call for  mandatory  conversion at any time after the third  anniversary  of the
issuance of the Notes by providing  written  notice of its intention to call for
conversion to the holders ten (10) business days prior to the Conversion Date.

         Conversion  Price.  Upon conversion of the Notes,  the Conversion Price
shall be the  lesser of the  Stated  Conversion  Price of $1.25 per share or the
Adjusted  Conversion Price. The Adjusted Conversion Price shall be calculated as
the greater of (i)  seventy  percent  (70%) of the closing  price for the Common
Stock as reported on the American  Stock  Exchange on the trading day  preceding
receipt by the  Company of Notice from the Holder of the  intention  to exercise
its conversion privilege; (ii) the average closing price of the Common Stock for
the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding receipt by the Company of Notice
from the holder of the intention to exercise its conversion privilege;  or (iii)
$0.50 per share.  The minimum and maximum  number of shares of Common  Stock per
Note  that  would be  issued  upon  conversion  would be  200,000  and  500,000,
respectively. The Notes must be converted in full.

         Interest.  The  holders of each Note are  entitled  to  receive  annual
interest in the form of Common Stock of the Company equal to 10 percent (10%) of
the  principal  amount of the Note.  Interest  shall be due and  payable on each
annual  anniversary of the issuance of the Notes. The number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued  for  payment  of  accrued  interest  shall be based upon the
average  closing  price  of  the  Common  Stock  for  the  twenty  trading  days
immediately preceding such anniversary date. In the event that fractional shares
would be  issuable,  the  Company  shall pay the  fractional  amount  with cash.
Interest shall accrue on a quarterly basis. Note holders who convert their Notes
prior to the annual  anniversary  date shall be entitled to receive  accrued but
unpaid interest at the time they convert.

         Liquidation  Preference.  In the  event  of a  liquidation  or  capital
restructuring  of the Company under the  Bankruptcy  Code,  holders of the Notes
shall be  subordinated  to all other claims,  with the exception that holders of
the Notes shall enjoy liquidation preference over Common stockholders.

The Unit Warrants

         The Company also  privately  offered on July 15, 1996 Unit  Warrants to
holders of the Notes.  Each Unit Warrant is eligible to purchase  100,000 shares
of Common Stock per Note at $1.25 per share, as described below:

         Time and  Condition  of  Issue.  The Unit  Warrants  will be  issued to
holders of the Notes on the  Warrant  Issuance  Date which is the earlier of (i)
three (3) months after this registration  statement has been declared  effective
or (ii) six months after the issuance of the Notes.  Holders who have  converted
the Notes into  Common  Stock prior to the  Warrant  Issuance  Date shall not be
entitled to receive Unit Warrants.

         Exercise Price, Expiration,  Redemption.  The Unit Warrants when issued
shall  entitle  the holder to  purchase an  aggregate  of 100,000  shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $1.25 per share or such lower
price as the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion  determine.  The Unit
Warrants will expire three (3) years  following the Warrant  Issuance  Date. The
Unit  Warrants  will be  redeemable  by the Company at any time when the closing
price of the  Company's  Common Stock is equal to at least $3.00 for twenty (20)
consecutive  trading days,  after which the Company must notify  holders of Unit
Warrants of such  redemption  within ten (10) business days. If not exercised by
the holder within fifteen
                                        9
<PAGE>
(15) business days after notice of redemption is given, the Unit Warrants may be
redeemed by the Company. The redemption price of each Warrant will be $0.05.

Options, Other  Warrants, and  Other Rights to  Purchase Common Stock  Currently
Outstanding

         At October 21, 1996,  there were  outstanding  3,153,395  warrants (not
including any warrants  related to the Notes) to purchase shares of Common Stock
at prices per share between  $1.25 and $8.25 and  1,874,933  options to purchase
shares of Common  Stock at prices  per share  between  $0.50 and  $4.75.  Of the
outstanding  warrants,  2,146,951 were listed on the American Stock Exchange and
may be redeemed by the Company at any time, upon thirty days notice,  at a price
of $0.50 per warrant.  Such  warrants  expire in March 1997 and have an exercise
price of $8.25 per share. With regard to such warrants,  the Company may, at the
sole discretion of the Board of Directors,  reduce the exercise price,  increase
the number of shares that may be purchased  upon  exercise of the  warrants,  or
extend the expiration date of the warrants if it deems such actions to be in the
best  interests  of the Company.  The  remaining  warrants  and options  contain
various terms including anti-dilution provisions to avoid dilution of the equity
interest  represented  by  the  underlying  shares  of  Common  Stock  upon  the
occurrence of certain events  including share dividends or splits,  mergers,  or
acquisitions.  Certain  holders of the  warrants  and options  have been granted
certain rights to have the shares issuable upon exercise  thereof  registered by
the Company under the Securities Act.

Transfer Agent

         American Securities Transfer,  Inc., Denver, Colorado, is the registrar
and transfer agent for the Common Stock.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Article X of Go-Video,  Inc.'s (the "Company")  Bylaws provides a right
of indemnification  generally  applicable to any person who is, or is threatened
to be made,  a party to any  judicial or  governmental  proceeding  by reason of
serving as a director,  officer,  employee, or agent of the Company or by reason
of serving in any of the foregoing capacities with another entity at the request
of the Company.  The indemnification  applies to expenses (including  attorneys'
fees),  judgments,  fines, and amounts paid in settlement incurred by the person
in connection  with the  proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company
and, in a criminal  proceeding,  if he also had not reasonable  cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful.  Indemnification  is available in a derivative  action
brought on behalf of the Company in which the person is  adjudged  liable to the
Company if and only to the extent  that the court in which the action is brought
specifically  finds that,  despite the  adjudication of liability but in view of
all  circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to
indemnification.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  such  person is  entitled to
indemnification  against expenses  incurred if he is successful on the merits or
otherwise in any such proceeding, whether direct or derivative, or in defense of
any claim, issue, or matter therein.

         The  determination  to grant  indemnification  under Article X is to be
made either (i) by a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (ii) if
such a quorum is  unobtainable  or a majority  of such a quorum so  directs,  by
independent  legal counsel in a written opinion,  or (iii) by the  Stockholders.
Expenses  incurred in  defending a  proceeding  are to be paid by the Company in
advance but such expenses must be repaid if it is ultimately determined that the
recipient has not  satisfied  the  requirements  for  indemnification  set forth
above.

         The  indemnification  provided for in Article X is not exclusive of any
other rights to which the recipient may be entitled.  Article X further provides
that the Company  has the power to purchase  liability  insurance  covering  any
person  whose  status makes him  eligible  for  indemnification,  regardless  of
whether the Company would have the power to indemnify  such person  against such
liability  under  Article X. The right to  indemnification  granted by Article X
continues to be available  after a person  ceases to occupy a status which would
make him  eligible for  indemnification  and inures to the benefit of his heirs,
executors, and administrators.

Item 17.  Undertakings.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a  post-effective  amendment to this  registration  statement (i) to include any
prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to reflect
in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising after the effective date of the
Registration  Statement (or the most recent  post-effective  amendment  thereof)
which, individually, or in the aggregate,  represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the  Registration  Statement;  and (iii) to include any
material  information  with respect to the plan of  distribution  not previously
disclosed  in  the  registration  statement  or  any  material  change  to  such
information in the registration statement;

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under the Act,
each such  post-effective  amendment  shall be  deemed to be a new  registration
statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering
thereof;

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

         The  undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's  Annual
Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange of
1934 (and,  where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report  pursuant to Section  15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as
amended  (the  "Exchange   Act")  that  is  incorporated  by  reference  in  the
registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a new  registration  statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus,  to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given,  the latest annual  report to security  holders that is  incorporated  by
reference  in  the  prospectus  and  furnished   pursuant  to  and  meeting  the
requirements  of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the  Exchange  Act;  and,  where
interim  financial  information  required  to  be  presented  by  Article  3  of
Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus,  to deliver,  or cause to be
delivered  to each person to whom the  prospectus  is sent or given,  the latest
quarterly  report  that  is  specifically   incorporated  by  reference  in  the
prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the  Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the  Registrant  has been
advised  that in the opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  such
indemnification  is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the Registrant in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
                                      II-5
<PAGE>
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,  submit to a court
of appropriate  jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification by it is
against  public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

       Pursuant  to  the  requirements  of  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of  the   requirements  for  filing  on  Form  S-2  and  has  duly  caused  this
pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned,  thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Scottsdale, State
of Arizona, on November 20, 1996.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have  acted  as  counsel  to  Go-Video,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  (the "Company") in connection with the  registration by the Company
of 4,585,466 shares of common stock,  $.001 par value (the "Common  Stock"),  as
contemplated in the Registration Statement on Form S-2 filed with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  on  November 7, 1996 (the  "Registration  Statement")
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                  We have  examined the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  and the
Bylaws of the  Company  and the  proceedings  of the Board of  Directors  of the
Company relating to the  authorization and issuance of the Common Stock and have
relied  upon the  certificate  of the Company  attached  hereto as Exhibit A. In
addition,  we have made such further  examination as we have deemed necessary or
advisable for the purposes of rendering the opinion set forth herein.

                  Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

                  1. The  95,466  shares  of Common  Stock  which may be sold by
certain selling  shareholders of the Company as contemplated in the Registration
Statement,  will be validly  issued,  fully paid,  and  non-assessable  when the
shares  are  issued  in  accordance  with  the  respective  purchase  agreements
therefor.

                  2. The  3,000,000  shares of Common Stock which are subject to
the  Registration  Statement  and  issuable  pursuant  to  the  exercise  of 10%
Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") will be validly issued, fully paid,
and non-assessable,  when (i) the exercise price therefor has been paid and (ii)
the stock  certificates  representing  the 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock have
been executed and  delivered,  all in accordance  with the terms of the Notes as
contemplated in the Registration Statement.

                  3. The 600,000 shares of Common Stock which are subject to the
Registration  Statement  and  issuable  pursuant to the exercise of Common Stock
purchase  warrants  to be issued to holders  of the Notes (the "Unit  Warrants")
will be  validly  issued,  fully  paid,  and  non-assessable  when  (i) the Unit
Warrants are issued,  (ii) the exercise  price therefor has been paid, and (iii)
the stock certificates representing the 600,000 shares of Common Stock have been
executed and delivered,  all in accordance  with the terms of the Notes and Unit
Warrants as contemplated in the Registration Statement.

                  4. The 360,000  shares of Common  Stock which are to be issued
as interest  to holders of the Notes will be validly  issued,  fully  paid,  and
non-assessable when the stock certificates  representing the 360,000 shares have
been  executed  and  delivered  in  accordance  with the  terms of the  Notes as
contemplated by the Registration Statement.

                  5. The  remaining  shares of Common Stock which are subject to
the Registration  Statement and issuable  pursuant to various purchase  warrants
will be validly  issued,  fully paid, and  non-assessable  when (i) the exercise
price therefor has been paid and (ii) the stock  certificates  representing  the
shares of Common Stock have been executed and delivered,  all in accordance with
the terms of such warrants as contemplated in the Registration Statement.

                  Consent  is  hereby  given  to the use of this  opinion  as an
Exhibit to the  Registration  Statement  and to the use of our name  wherever it
appears in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

                                                     Very truly yours,

             NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             ------------------------------------------------------


GENERAL
- -------

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal reoccurring  accruals)
necessary  to present  fairly the  financial  position  of the  Company  and the
results of its operations and changes in its financial  position for the periods
reported.  The results of  operations  for interim  periods are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Inventories  at September  30, 1996  consisted of $492,164 of raw  materials and
service parts and $6,450,042 of finished goods.

Goodwill  of  approximately  $170,000  resulting  from  the  acquisition  of the
Company's  Security  Products  Division is being  amortized on the straight line
basis over ten years.

The  Company  is engaged  in one  business  segment,  the  design,  development,
marketing  and  licensing  of  electronic  video  communication   products.  The
Company's current primary focus is the design, marketing, sale, and distribution
of several models of its Dual-Deck(TM)  videocassette recorder. Sales to Circuit
City Stores totaled 10% or more of net sales for the six months ended  September
30, 1996.  Sales to Circuit City Stores were $3,374,380 for the six month period
ended  September  30,  1996.  Accounts  receivable  from Circuit City Stores was
$1,378,865 at September 30, 1996.

The Company sold $1.5  million of  convertible  subordinated  notes in a private
placement with institutional  holders in August 1996. The placement included six
Units, each consisting of one 10% Convertible Subordinated Note in the principle
amount of $250,000 with warrants to purchase  100,000  shares of common stock at
$1.25 per share. The notes must be converted to common stock within three years.
The warrants have an aggregate  fair value of $230,000.  In connection  with the
private  placement,  the Company also issued  warrants and commons  stock to the
placement agent with a fair value of $46,000 and $75,000 respectively.

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the prior financial  statements to
conform to the current classifications.

Deferred  income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary  differences
between the carrying  amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes,  and (b)  operating  loss
and tax credit  carryforwards.  The tax effects of significant  items comprising
the Company's net deferred tax asset as of September 30, 1996 are as follows:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

Three  months  ended  September  30, 1996  compared  with the three months ended
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1995:
- -------------------

Net sales increased 2.4% to $9.4 million during the three months ended September
30, 1996 from $9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 1995. The
increase in net sales was  primarily due to a 33% increase in net units sold for
the three months  ended  September  30, 1996  compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995, offset in part by a 23% decrease in average revenue per unit
for the two  periods.  The increase in net unit sales was  primarily  due to the
Company  having two full model lines for sale,  the GV40xx and the GV60xx series
during the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  decrease in average
revenue  per unit  was  primarily  due to an  overall  decrease  in the per unit
selling price of the GV6010 and the GV40xx series models  compared to the GV30xx
series models and the GV4060 model which were sold during the three months ended
September 30, 1995, and the Company's  product sales mix which included a higher
percentage  of its less  expensive  price leader  models during the three months
ended  September 30, 1996 as compared with the three months ended  September 30,
1995. Net sales of the Company's Security Products Division,  which was acquired
on April 1,  1995,  were less  than 5% of total  net sales for the three  months
ending September 30, 1996.

Gross  profit was $2.1  million  and $2.2  million  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing a 2.1% decrease in gross
profit dollars. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.8% for
the three month period ended  September 30, 1996 compared to 23.8% for the three
month  period  ended  September  30,  1995.  The  decrease in gross  profit as a
percentage of sales is primarily  due to the  Company's  product sales mix which
included a higher  percentage of its less  expensive  price leader models during
the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 as compared  with the three months
ended September 30, 1995.

Sales and marketing expense decreased 31.1% to $0.8 million for the three months
ended  September 30, 1996 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 1995. As a percentage of sales,  sales and marketing expenses decreased from
13.4% in the three months ended  September 30, 1995, to 9.0% in the three months
ended  September  30, 1996.  The decrease in sales and  marketing  expenses as a
percentage of sales is primarily due to lower commission  expense resulting from
reduced  commission  rates,  and reduced  spending on marketing and  promotional
items during the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Research and development  expenses increased 43.3% to $0.2 million for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1996.  The  increase in research  and  development
expenses is due primarily to expenses  incurred in connection with the Company's
development of prototype-digital LCD projection and direct view televisions.

General and administrative expenses decreased 7.6% to $0.6 million for the three
months ended  September  30, 1996.  As a  percentage  of net sales,  general and
administrative  expense decreased from 7.0% for the three months ended September
30, 1995 to 6.3% for the three months ended  September 30, 1996. The decrease in
general and  administrative  expense is primarily  due to  compensation  expense
recorded  by the  Company  during the three  months  ended  September  30,  1995
relating to a Separation Agreement and reduced consulting fees.

As a result of the above,  the Company  recorded an operating profit of $465,196
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared with an operating  profit
of $150,050 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The Company  recorded
net other expense of $172,404 for the three months ended
                                        9
<PAGE>
September  30, 1996  compared  with net other  expense of $120,954  for the same
period of the prior year. The increase in net other expense was primarily due to
increased  interest  expense  caused by an increase  in the average  daily loans
outstanding while the average effective interest rate remained consistent during
the three month period ending  September 30, 1996 as compared to the three month
period ending September 30, 1995.

Net income for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 was $292,792  compared
with net income of $29,096 for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  The
Company did not recognize  income tax expense for either  quarter due to its net
operating loss carryforwards.

Six months ended September 30, 1996 compared with the six months ended September
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30, 1995:
- ---------

Net sales  increased 9.1% to $17.6 million during the six months ended September
30, 1996 from $16.1 million during the six months ended  September 30, 1995. The
increase in net sales was  primarily  due to a 41.0%  increase in net units sold
for the six months  ended  September  30, 1996  compared to the six months ended
September 30, 1995,  offset in part by a 22.6%  decrease in average  revenue per
unit  for the  two  periods.  The  increase  in net  unit  sales  was due to the
introduction of the Company's  GV60xx  series(VHS/VHS  Dual-Deck VCR) during the
six months ended  September 30, 1996.  The decrease in average  revenue per unit
was  primarily  due to an overall  decrease in the per unit selling price of the
GV6010 and GV40xx  series  models  compared to the GV30xx  series models and the
GV4060 model which were sold during the six months ended September 30, 1995, and
the Company's  product sales mix which included a higher  percentage of its less
expensive  price leader models during the six months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared  with  the six  months  ended  September  30,  1995.  Net  sales of the
Company's Security Products Division,  which was acquired on April 1, 1995, were
less than 5% of total net sales for the six months ending September 30, 1996.

Gross  profit  was  $4.0  million  and $3.2  million  for the six  months  ended
September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  a 26.1%  increase in
gross profit  dollars.  Gross profit as a percentage  of net sales  increased to
22.8% for the six month period ended  September  30, 1996 from 19.7% for the six
month  period  ended  September  30,  1995.  The  increase in gross  profit as a
percentage  of sales is primarily  due to higher sales  margins  realized on the
GV60xx and GV40xx  series  over the  close-out  of the GV30xx  series in the six
months ended September 30, 1995.

Sales and marketing  expense  decreased 20.9% to $1.6 million for the six months
ended  September  30, 1996 from $1.9 million for the six months ended  September
30, 1995. As a percentage of sales,  sales and marketing expenses decreased from
12.2% in the six months  ended  September  30,  1995,  to 8.8% in the six months
ended  September  30, 1996.  The decrease in sales and  marketing  expenses as a
percentage of sales is primarily due to lower commission  expense resulting from
reduced commission rates and reduced spending on marketing and promotional items
during the six months ended September 30, 1996.

Research and  development  expenses  increased 45.7% to $0.5 million for the six
months  ended  September  30, 1996 from $0.3  million  for the six months  ended
September  30, 1995.  The increase in research and  development  expenses is due
primarily to expenses  incurred in connection with the Company's  development of
prototype digital LCD-projection and direct view televisions.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased 9.9% to $1.2 million for the six
months  ended  September  30, 1996 from $1.3  million  for the six months  ended
September  30, 1995. As a percentage  of net sales,  general and  administrative
expense  decreased from 8.3% for the six months ended September 30, 1995 to 6.8%
for the six months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  decrease  in general  and
administrative  expense is primarily due to compensation expense recorded by the
Company during the six months ended  September 30, 1995 relating to a Separation
Agreement.
                                       10
<PAGE>
As a result of the above,  the Company  recorded an operating profit of $792,036
for the six months ended  September 30, 1996 compared with an operating  loss of
$434,783 for the six months ended  September 30, 1995. The Company  recorded net
other  expense of $311,644 for the six months ended  September 30, 1996 compared
with net other  expense of $223,672  for the same period of the prior year.  The
increase in net other expense was primarily  due to increased  interest  expense
caused by an increase in the average daily loans  outstanding  while the average
effective  interest rate remained  consistent during the six month period ending
September  30, 1996 as compared to the six month  period  ending  September  30,
1995.

Net income for the six months ended  September  30, 1996 was  $480,392  compared
with a net loss of $658,455 for the six months  ended  September  30, 1995.  The
Company did not recognize  income tax expense for the six months ended September
30, 1996 due to its net operating loss  carryforwards.  For the six months ended
September  30, 1995,  the Company did not recognize an income tax benefit due to
recording a valuation allowance to offset the potential tax benefit of the loss.

Seasonality
- -----------

As the growth of the current distribution  network has slowed,  seasonal factors
are now more  evident  in the  Company's  operating  results.  Accordingly,  the
Company expects to continue to experience  peaks  consistent with previous years
in its sales from September through December,  which covers the holiday season.*
The Company's  performance  during and following this period will be affected by
retail sales of its customers.

Future Results
- --------------

This  Report on Form 10-Q  contains  "Forward  Looking  Statements"  within  the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended.  The  Company's  future
operating results may be affected by a number of factors,  including the general
economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates,  the Company's
ability to design,  distribute and sell its products profitably,  competition in
general and competitive pricing in particular.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------

Net cash used in operating  activities was $2.7 million for the six months ended
September  30, 1996  compared to cash used in operations of $2.4 million for the
six months ended September 30, 1995. The more significant factors comprising the
net cash used were a $1.8  million  increase  in  inventory  and a $1.5  million
increase in  receivables.  The increase in the inventory  balance from March 31,
1996 to September 30, 1996 was  primarily due to increased  inventory in transit
ordered  for  the  holiday  selling  season.  The  Company  had  less  inventory
in-transit at March 31, 1996. The increase in the receivable  balance from March
31, 1996 to  September  30,  1996 is  primarily  due to the timing of  shipments
during the six months ended September 30, 1996 which were weighted  heavily near
the end of the six month period, as the Company's average collection  experience
has generally remained consistent.

The  Company  had net  working  capital  of $5.2  million  and $3.4  million  at
September 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996, respectively.  At September 30, 1996, the
Company's current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was
1.7 to 1.

The  Company's  sales  seasonality  requires  incremental  working  capital  for
investment primarily in inventories and receivables. The primary source of funds
over the six months  ended  September  30,  1996 has been  borrowings  under the
Company's line of credit. The Company has a line of credit that was

entered into in October 1992 and was amended in May 1993,  November 1993, August
1994,  August 1995,  and June 1996. The maximum line of credit,  as amended,  is
$14.0 million  limited by specific  inventory and receivable  balances used as a
borrowing base, and provides for cash loans,  letters of credit and acceptances.
The agreement,  as amended, has a term of five years, with an origination fee of
1%, an annual facility fee of 0.5%, a non-use fee of 0.25%, and a prepayment (if
applicable)  fee of 1%.  Loans are  priced at prime  plus  2.5%.  The  lender is
collateralized  by all assets of the Company.  The unused and available  line of
credit at September 30, 1996 was $1,843,660.  The Company has  capitalized  $0.5
million of  closing  costs  related  to the  origination  and  amendment  of the
financing  agreement.  These  costs  are  being  amortized  over the term of the
agreement. Management believes its current financial resources to be adequate to
support operations over the next twelve months.*

The Company sold $1.5  million of  convertible  subordinated  notes in a private
placement with institutional holders in August 1996. The notes must be converted
to common stock within three years.

The Company expects to incur increased expenses for research and development and
marketing expenses related to the LCD projection  television project,  the Loewe
Opta television project, and other product lines currently being considered.*

The Company leases a 33,000 square foot executive office and warehouse  facility
in north Scottsdale,  Arizona,  which is fully utilized, in good condition,  and
adequate for the Company's needs. The lease began in January 1996 and has a term
of seven years, with one three year extension at the option of the Company.

Inflation
- ---------

Inflation has had no material  effect on the  Company's  operations or financial
condition.
